Mozilla Thunderbird for Android Is Finally Here (www.howtogeek.com)

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.

[–] d_k_bo@feddit.org 5 points 11 months ago

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've really tried to use it, im sorry it's just so ugly

[–] m4m4m4m4@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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)

[–] scrion@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

If I remember correctly, you should be able to just install the GitHub version.

I'd love FairMail for desktop Linux
