    One important thing K-9 does that this doesn’t: realese on F-Droid.

    What is this? At least provide a repository like DivestOS… while you are at it, get the code for the free software off of proprietary Microsoft GitHub.

        How on Earth do you lose this support in the handover shuffle—especially knowing the audience a third-party email client? I would say it shouldn’t be released if F-Droid support isn’t there since it isn’t something you would want to back-burner.

          I’m pretty sure it’s an issue on F-Droid’s end, as it’s always a few days behind for all my other apps that get released on the play store as well. IIRC they have a release process that involves them compiling the packages that takes a while to run.

    After waiting years for this I ended up using FairEmail, which is absolutely amazing. I’d have a hard time switching to something else at this point.

        The devs description states that it’s intentionally minimalistic visually and focuses on advanced features. FairEmail is way overkill for someone with a single gmail account for example. At the time that I found it, FairEmail was the only client that met all of my needs. Like managing multiple accounts, each with multiple folders and none of that unified nonsense. It’s also available on F-Droid and GitHub.

      I’ve been fairly happy with K9 but if they are about to Mozillify it, I will check out FairEmail.

        I don’t understand the downvotes. Mozilla’s new CEO is questionable at best. He’s been stuffing ad-related nonsense into Firefox since he assumed.

          Is Mozilla that involved in Thunderbird? IIRC their revitalization happened more under The Thunderbird Foundation after Mozilla put them out to pasture to die after years of neglect.

    🥳

    Been looking forward to this for a long time—K-9 Mail is an excellent mail client, but this is one step closer to Desktop/Mobile sync.
