Mozilla Thunderbird for Android is now available in beta, built upon the K-9 Mail app.

The beta includes core email features like account setup, email organization, and notifications, with feedback encouraged from users.

Thunderbird for Android will remain a separate app from K-9 Mail, requiring users to migrate if they previously used K-9.

    Noob question:

    Is there any advantage over my phone’s stock email client, considering 99% of my emails are confirmation emails from online shops and similar stuff and I hardly ever actually send an email to anyone or receive one from an actual person anymore?

      @Don_alForno @AnActOfCreation AFAIK, some clients can block external trackers and block images from loading (because images can have trackers)

      I don’t know if it’d benefit you tremendously, but it’s worth the shot imho. but that’s because I love trying out new apps lol

      Not for you indeed ! But for me who works on code project through email this is exciting :)

      And for people who work in pokitics/administrative stuff, they use a SHIT TON of emails

      Not even mentioning people in university
