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.

Bit of a, bit of b. It is not yet. But the final version of Thunderbird will replace K9. So if you're not happy with the beta, write an issue in their bug tracker.
An old version or a fork though
Seems you didn't even read my comment - but no, at least for the moment K-9 is not Thunderbird..
K9 has been Thunderbird for quite a while now. The name hasn't changed yet officially, but the team has been incorporated a good while ago.
Not sure why people are downvoting you, you're right.
Here's the announcement from over 2 years ago.
They are the same. It is the same app. They have announced that they will keep both K9 and Thunderbird in parallel, but the underlying program is the same - it will be only a cosmetic difference. This has to do with app IDs and user preferences, etc.
Here is the K9 Beta that is the same version as the new Thunderbird (beta) app. You are just switching from the beta back to the release.
