Leaving for his own mental well-being, sounds like on good terms.

Realistically, permanently walking away from K-9 Mail never was an option in the past. There was no one else to take over as a maintainer. It would have most likely meant the end of the project. K-9 Mail was always too important to me to let that happen. But this is no longer an issue. There’s now a whole team behind the project and me stepping away no longer is an existential threat to the app.

Good on Mozilla for helping Thunderbird continue!
