New stable release We spent most of our time in February getting ready for a new stable release – K-9 Mail 6.800. That mostly meant fixing bugs and usability issues reported by beta testers.

Towards Thunderbird for Android – K-9 Mail 6.800 Simplifies Adding Email Accounts
Mozilla | The Thunderbird Blog
by cketti
3w ago
We’re happy to announce the release of K-9 Mail 6.800. The main goal of this version is to make it easier for you to add your email accounts to the app. With another item crossed off the list, this brings us one step closer towards Thunderbird for Android. New account setup Setting up an email account in K-9 Mail is something many new users have struggled with in the past. That’s mainly because automatic setup was only supported for a handful of large email providers. If you had an email account with another email provider, you had to manually enter the incoming and outgoing server settings ..read more

These allow our users to add features and options beyond the customization already available in Thunderbird by default.

The Thunderbird Add-on page shows the power of community-driven extensions. There are Add-ons for everything, from themes to integrations, th ..read more

Mozilla | The Thunderbird Blog

When will Thunderbird for Android be released? This is a question that comes up quite a lot, and we appreciate that you’re all excited to finally put Thunderbird in your pocket. It’s not a simple answer, but we’ll do our best to explain why things are taking longer than expected. We have always been a bit vague on when we were going to release Thunderbird for Android. At first this was because we still had to figure out what features we wanted to add to K-9 Mail before we were comfortable calling it Thunderbird. Once we had a list, we estimated how long it would take to add those features to ..read more

Welcome to the progress report for October! If you missed the one for September, you’re in luck, because we always try to include a link to the progress report of the previous month in the introduction. Translations All the translations of the app are provided by volunteers from the community. This work is mostly independent from software development and design work. So sometimes it’s easy for us to forget that a lot more people regularly spend time working on the app. Dear translators, thank you for all the work you’re putting into making the app more accessible by translating it to so many ..read more
