Burnout is a truly horrible thing! I hope he rests, recovers, and finds his passion again.

Funny how I use TB on desktop as long as it exists and always wanted a android version and I even knew that is was in development and still this is the first time I heard that it was released. A little cross promotion wouldn't hurt.

I've been using it, it's basically still K9 mail with minor changes. It doesn't really have the features you see in the desktop client.

They might promote it more when it's got the features you'd expect from a mobile client, like proper search with a local index.

Thunderbird... now that's a name I've not heard in a loooong time

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

It's a pretty popular desktop client, and the migration of K9 into Tbird for Android was a good thing.

I've used K9 for over a decade, until at some point work required me to have an exchange account. At that time I switched to Nine, since outlook is hot garbage.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Are there alternatives to Nine? I've used that for several years for my personal email because of exchange, but it has had issues the last couple of years. Not open source as far as I know.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I'm not aware of any alternatives, but then again I didn't experience any problems so never bothered to look either.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Still using k9mail since fairemail causes me oom issues.

I still find myself looking for other emails tho since i need something that supports mailing list stuff better.

Now is the time to switch to Librewolf, I just wish there was a Librebird.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's Betterbird, though I don't know exactly what makes it better, except for still allowing to manually load external content in encrypted mails, which Thunderbird just removed for whatever stupid reason.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Betterbird just adds features. It isn't focused on privacy & security AFAIK.
