The Thunderbird for Android beta is out and we’re asking our community to help us test it. Beta testing helps us find critical bugs and rough edges that we can polish in the next few weeks. The more people who test the beta and ensure everything in the testing checklist works correctly, the better!
Anyone can be a beta tester! Whether you’re an experienced beta tester or you’ve never tested a beta image before, we want to make it easy for you. We are grateful for your time and energy, so we aim to make testing quick, efficient, and hopefully fun!!
The release plan is as follows, and we hope to stick to this timeline unless we encounter any major hurdles:
- September 30 – First beta for Thunderbird for Android
- Third week of October – first release candidate
- Fourth week of October – Thunderbird for Android release
No way I am letting Mozilla handle my email communication.
On Android I recommend FairEmail.
Use a DNS firewall because when you start the app it sends telemetry data to Mozilla.
I’ve been using it for a few days. It’s a nice app that I plan to continue using. I’m not currently a power user but it has everything I need and has performed flawlessly to this point.
Thank you.
i hope they’ll still over it through fdroid too.
Been using K-9 for a time and tried Thunderbird - it feels kind of smoother and there are some visual overhauls but ended uninstalling it because it was hard for me to tell which mails were unread (and which ones not) in the main mail list while in dark mode. I guess I’m not the only one who felt that way and surely they will fix it but this also left me the sensation that there’s not much sense in switching to Thunderbird if you’re using K-9.
K9 is Thunderbird. You’ll be switching if you like it or not. If you want, write a bug report on the visibility issue.
K9 is Thunderbird
Seems you didn’t even read my comment - but no, at least for the moment K-9 is not Thunderbird…
