App
Thunderbird for Android
App version
16.1
Where did you get the app from?
Google Play
Android version
15
Device model
No response
Steps to reproduce
- go to Inbox
- swipe an e-mail to the left
Expected behavior
The Undo notification should stay visible for a longer period (e.g., 2-3 seconds, similar to Gmail or other mail clients) to allow enough time for user interaction.
Actual behavior
When deleting an email via swipe gesture, the "Undo" snackbar notification appears for a very short duration (approx. 0.5 - 1 second). This makes it nearly impossible to revert accidental deletions in time.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the swipe-to-delete flow in the Inbox on Thunderbird for Android 16.1, using the issue’s attached recording as a reference. Trace the snackbar shown after deletion; done means the Undo notification remains available for roughly 2–3 seconds and can reliably restore the message.
