It's still a beta, though.

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 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 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)
