Description
Checklist

App
Thunderbird for Android
App version
14.0
Where did you get the app from?
Google Play
Android version
16
Device model
Pixel 7a
Steps to reproduce
- Place the (only) widget listing emails.
- Optionally: wait for a few minutes.
Expected behavior
Emails are listed.
Actual behavior
The email list disappear from the "unified Inbox" widget.
This widget (unlike the other two) does not let us choose what inbox to display, even if the unified Inbox is disabled in the settings...
This is not an issue for me, the fact that emails disappear from the widget (but are correctly displayed in the app') is more problematic, so this widget becomes useless.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Thunderbird for Android 14.0 with Android 16 on the unified Inbox widget, following the listed steps. Then trace the widget entry point and its email-list refresh behavior. Done means the widget continues listing emails after waiting, while the in-app email list remains correct.
