Mozilla Thunderbird for Android Is Finally Here
Mozilla Thunderbird for Android Is Finally Here
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Honestly, if you're in the audience for Thunderbird on Android, you probably also want to have a look at FairMail
instead.Edit: phrasing
Why? What does FairMail do better? The headline says it's privacy oriented, but so is k-9.
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 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've really tried to use it, im sorry it's just so ugly
I agree, it's kind of funny in their website claim they don't put "bells and whistles" in their UI yet it looks way cluttered compared to K-9/Thunderbird.
No doubt it can work better than the aforementioned but it'd be nice if their devs could be a bit humble and recognize its UI could get some love and it would be beneficial for FairEmail.
I'm sure it's a very capable email client, but the UI just didn't mesh well with me.
I uninstalled it quickly after finding out it was trialware (missing features; popups to pay)
If I remember correctly, you should be able to just install the GitHub version.

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!!
You misunderstood. they said they would love a desktop version, not that they love the desktop version
I noticed after a couple of minutes hahah
