LibreWolf is to Firefox what BetterBird is to Thunderbird?

Betterbird. Simply better. A soft fork of Mozilla Thunderbird

Betterbird. Simply better.

Had never heard of this before today. Anyone tried it?

EDIT: "Being a fork of Mozilla Thunderbird, the software collects some data about the user, less than the original Mozilla Thunderbird, as outlined in Thunderbird's privacy statement. No data is submitted to Betterbird, some data may be submitted to Mozilla. No telemetry and no crash reports are submitted, however, add-on updates and blocklists are downloaded from Mozilla sites. Betterbird offers a product Start Page which processes access data as described above."

Hopefully we can get a Betterbird mobile app one day.
- Try FairEmail. It's the closest thing I've found.

- I was looking into k-9 mail and it seemed decent
  
  What stuff did you want to have in a mobile app?
  
  K-9 mail is literally Thunderbird. It’s been rebranded and taken over by Mozilla. They’re keeping the k-9 branding as its own (otherwise identical) app as a nostalgia token for the people that have used it for a long time.
- Will it work with K-9/Thunderbird for Android?
  
  The email servers themselves are separate (ex. Gmail, your school email server, work email server, etc.).
  
  Thunderbird / K9 are clients that let you access the email on your device
  
  So they should all be compatible with each other
  
  Ok, duh, you're both right of course; late night/early morning brain fart here 🧠💨
