Designed, developed and published by Mozilla, the Thunderbird email client is finally here for Android in the first beta release.

    I am crossing my fingers that Mozilla doesn’t completely break K-9 mail by forcing Thunderbird before feature parity, it’s my favourite mobile mail client. I love using the volume keys to quickly scroll through inbox messages and mark them as read. (Other clients don’t seem to mark read unless you stare at a message for 3 seconds)

      I think Thunderbird has feature party with K9 though, at least from my quick comparison. Seems that this is just a rebranding and UI update to Material 3 (a welcome one), but they intent to develop and maintain both apps for the time being.

        I think K9 is also moving to Material 3 (there’s an identically versioned K9 Beta, I haven’t tested it though).

        The only changes to my knowledge for Thunderbird is branding and colors.

      Thunderbird team has been developing K9 for years now. This step is a small iteration from a technical point, but significant in that they feel it is stable and complete enough to put their name on.

      Thunderbird is technically part of Mozilla but as far as I can tell, they are funded and operate pretty much independently from the browser and other parts of the org.

    Can someone explain how to get push email to work? Mine will only fetch on a set interval, 15 minutes is the shortest option. Is it because I’m using a Gmail address?

    I have been using it and really enjoy it. I was using Nine and couldn’t stand the way it handled folders and incoming mail.

    Better experience in my opinion.
