I thought it was just K9 Mail, is there something else coming up?
So, according to Jason Evangelho (Thunderbird team), when I asked for an ETA:
Currently, we're shooting for after Thunderbird 115 releases. It could either be late Summer or very early fall. Once we get the Account Autodiscovery module from Thunderbird desktop integrated, we'll be pretty close to flipping the switch. And we'll be sure to keep everyone posted on our blog at https://blog.thunderbird.net
Also more info at https://blog.thunderbird.net/2022/06/faq-thunderbird-mobile-and-k-9-mail/ and https://blog.thunderbird.net/category/thunderbird-mobile/
Their road map: https://developer.thunderbird.net/planning/android-roadmap
They are going to rebrand it to Thunderbird and bring more integration between the mobile and desktop apps. I will bring some links, gimme a minute.
Very much so. I said recently that Thunderbird for Android is the most exciting thing happening in open source right now.
Indeed. I installed K-9 mail as soon as I discovered it would become Thunderbird for Android.
Did the same, but I'm not using it until the rebranding occurs.
I've gotten used to it, but I'm not a massive email user on my phone, mainly use it for alerts so I know to go chek the PC when I get home from work etc.
Absolutely! I have been waiting for it... Until it is out I will continue to use "FairEmail".
You can use k9 right now. Thunderbird mobile is going to be just that with a new name. It already received lots of updates because the main dev is working full time on it now
I guess i will look into it a bit earlier then
Not really since I'm on IOS now.
That said, K9 was my favourite android mail client, and I used it up until recently. It was good but always felt like it needed a little extra love to help with bugs. So I think they'll end up with a good product.
Yeah, I agree. currently using k9 here and I used to have the same feeling.
I already use it on my desktop, so I am excited for the branded mobile version. Just hoping I can get exchange support on it in some way. I use an extension on the desktop version.
I am, but mostly for the refreshed visuals. Over that happens I'll move the accounts I use K-9 for. After a few months if it works well I'll migrate other accounts. Not sure if I'll bother moving my Gmail and Outlook/Live accounts. I only use Thunderbird desktop to have a local copy.
Technically, I'm already using it as my daily driver (as K-9 Mail) and so have I been for several years already. What I'm looking forward to, is to get parity with desktop Thunderbird.
Quite enjoying K9 so far, and hoping to see things only improve.
same here!
