is it new? i swear it didn't exist a few months ago when i was looking for a mail client

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago (2 children)

it is, it's basically just like k9 mail atm which is what i would suggest anyway

K9 and Thunderbird for Android are now the same app with different branding

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (3 children)

So if I already use K-9 Mail, should I bother? Does anything set it apart yet?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

K9 is getting rebranded as Thunderbird, if you update it it show up with the new logo

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Not quite, they are and will continue to be the same app and code base with distinct branding.

The rebranding in F-droid recently was a mistake that has been fixed.

Ah, I didn't know that!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Oh that explains why it changed the app page name back to k-9

Oh well

Thanks:)

Thunderbird is blue and has opt-out telemetry.

That is it right now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

For the lazy: Why do women seem to be more attracted to me as soon as I'm getting attention from other girls its like they know somehow

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thank you for this. I was dying of curiosity but too drunk to do my own research. You're a saint.

adblocker in a mail client?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Oh right I thought it was a broswer

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

That is Thunderbird on Desktop, which uses Firefox ESR. Thunderbird on Android uses K-9 Mail's codebase.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

its developed by Mozilla

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I tried Thunderbird for android, it's too barebones right now for me. For the time being, I'm sticking with Samsung Mail, along side Proton Mail

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I actually don't use it. AFAIK Thunderbird doesn't work with proton and no way do I want to get the E-Mail from my university (there are a lot of emails that arent important) on my phone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

On desktop there's an SMTP mail bridge you can install to use Proton Mail with another application. No such thing on mobile, though.

Thunderbird is native on Linux?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What? I never mentioned Linux. But yeah, Thunderbird is native on Linux.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think they thought you meant “proton” the compatibility used to run Windows games on Linux, instead of ProtonMail.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Ahhhhh, that explains it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

If Thunderbird was on iOS I’d switch in a heartbeat.
