"…we need to reach certain development milestones that will bring K-9 Mail into alignment with Thunderbird’s feature set and visual appearance."

As a long-time Thunderbird user, I have to say that's a really bad idea. The T-bird UI is ungainly and intimidating on the desktop, and I can't imagine any of it will translate well to mobile.

tinx,

@k9mail @thunderbird @fdroidorg can we expect to get an upgrade path for k-9?
Will it keep the same internal package name so that we can keep using it?
Or will there be an option to migrate data from k-9 into Thunderbird that is easy enough for our grandparents to manage it?

FrayJay,

@k9mail @thunderbird @fdroidorg I love that this is happening people, great work! ;)

For me K-9 Mail was one of main reasons to move from Maemo to Android. Mail client which worked fine and used screen space wisely. It was 13 years ago.

On desktop I use Thunderbird because "all email client sucks, this one sucks less" (mutt motto).

Hope that K9 even after rename will stay being itself.

@k9mail relies on for PGP encryption which is unfortunately no longer maintained.

Is there something related to PGP on the roadmap ?

Holger,

@k9mail

An era is coming to an end. It is still the best e-mail client I ever used. Let's see how it will be in Thunderbird branding.

@k9mail @thunderbird @fdroidorg Transformed into Thunderbird for Android? In other words, K-9 Mail will cease to be.

@k9mail @thunderbird @fdroidorg wow. I used k9 mail for years... but due to some compatibility reason I switched to blue mail a few years ago. always wanted k9 back. will switch to thunderbird on release (and hope I have no compatibility issues)

@k9mail Thanks for a good piece of software. Hopefully it will be even better! @thunderbird @fdroidorg

@k9mail @thunderbird @fdroidorg No offense, but I don't want to be spammed with random stuff about Thunderbird.

I followed this account to get updates about the client for Android. I really don't care about anything else.

I guess I'm now excluded from that.

Xeknos,

@k9mail @thunderbird @fdroidorg I am ready for this.

@k9mail @thunderbird thanks for the heads up, and glad to hear it will be on F-droid :)

gytis,

@k9mail @thunderbird @fdroidorg Somewhat nostalgic - K-9 Mail was one of the apps I've installed on my 1st :android: smartphone and used ever since, daily 🤓
