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.

    Honestly, if you’re in the audience for Thunderbird on Android, you probably want to have a look at FairMail instead.

      I’m sure it’s a very capable email client, but the UI just didn’t mesh well with me.

      Why? What does FairMail do better? The headline says it’s privacy oriented, but so is k-9.

        I love FairEmail’s simplified mail viewer that doesn’t render HTML mails completely and they look more like an enhanced plain text mail instead.

        I’d say customizability. Haven’t used k-9 since I found FairEmail so can’t really say anything about how it is now but it used to be pretty bare bones. At least compared to FairEmail.
