i urge everyone, if they can, to do a monthly donation to them
And if you can’t do monthly, at least donate. These guys do good work for users.
I thought thunderbird is getting paid by mozilla
My understanding is that Mozilla does contribute, but I couldn’t say how much or anything.

Yes, I’m several years into my de-googling process and a solid email client is not something I’m worried about. K9 is great and, as Thunderbird, we can only hope that it gets better.
How did you go about de-googling your phone? I’ve de-googled my services but I’m just getting started on the phone.
Material you is coming from what I understood reading the linked blog post. There’s also a screenshot. Or is Material 3 different from You?

Does anyone know where you can get the Thunderbird branded package?
The TB branded version is in beta and they are not releasing it until the branding is further along. Allegedly if you are using K9, there will be a migration tool to move to the TB branded app when released.
No I think you will need to reinstall. But as you can export your settings this is not a very big deal.
https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/releases/latest
Interesting, they renamed their org from thundernest to thunderbird. Makes more sense tbh.
I changes the URL to this in Obtainium and removed the old one. It seems they are still not changing the App ID as updates worked normally, but that version should get the redesign soon.
If I understood the article correctly, the Thunderbird app is not released, yet. They said they are working on getting it released.
Cool!
For the branding couldn’t they just do k-9 by Thunderbird or something similar?
This is also about the App ID, actually mainly. So they keep K9 so that users can get a popup “export your settings, uninstall and install TB Android”. As Android only allows updates with the same app ID and developer key.
They can probably even ease that out if they implement some API in K9 to let another app request data from it - Android has a system for letting apps send data to each other securely
IPC? I mean it can export and import settings, sending that data via the share portal and opening it for import (autodetecting the extension) is really possible.
Not that I know how to write a single line of Android app code.
I’m ready for the rebranded APK now or any time
