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.
Well, an unbranded build would be perfectly possible, like how “Fennec” is just a build of Firefox. In case they continue to release updates for K-9, that would be an unbranded app right there…
They have said that they will continue to release identical versions of each in the immediate future.
Cool, that seems like the best way to handle this.
