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 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

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

[–] u5r@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I guess i will look into it a bit earlier then

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.
