Looking back on 15 years of working on K-9 Mail.

    Funny how I use TB on desktop as long as it exists and always wanted a android version and I even knew that is was in development and still this is the first time I heard that it was released. A little cross promotion wouldn’t hurt.

      It’s a pretty popular desktop client, and the migration of K9 into Tbird for Android was a good thing.

        I thought they were supposed to change it at some point but as of my last update it still has the k9 branding, is f-droid just behind?

          They’ve stuck it under its own app entry. Both K-9 and Thunderbird end at 8.2 for suggested releases.

          I just installed Thunderbird, looks identical, just a rebrand. They’re so identical the import function is seamless mostly seamless.

          Not sure if it’s a quirk of GrapheneOS or just the way things are now, but for gmail accounts, you’ll need to go in to something like Settings > Account > fetching mail > incoming server and then hit next.

          This will dump you back in to the google web login auth page, so you can approve the app for each account.

          Otherwise, the sync and alert settings are copied just fine, so it’s good enough.
