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.
I’ve really tried to use it, im sorry it’s just so ugly
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.

I’d love FairMail for desktop Linux
They have a desktop for Linux??? I’ve been using it for years and I only get to learn this now! I’m going to try it immediately lmao. Thank you!!
