is it new? i swear it didn't exist a few months ago when i was looking for a mail client

[–] blibla@slrpnk.net 39 points 2 days ago (2 children)

it is, it's basically just like k9 mail atm which is what i would suggest anyway

K9 and Thunderbird for Android are now the same app with different branding

[–] rand_alpha19@moist.catsweat.com 13 points 2 days ago (3 children)

So if I already use K-9 Mail, should I bother? Does anything set it apart yet?

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)

K9 is getting rebranded as Thunderbird, if you update it it show up with the new logo

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Not quite, they are and will continue to be the same app and code base with distinct branding.

The rebranding in F-droid recently was a mistake that has been fixed.

Ah, I didn't know that!

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Oh that explains why it changed the app page name back to k-9

Oh well

Thanks:)

Damn, alright haha, I completely missed that news. Good for them.

Thunderbird is blue and has opt-out telemetry.

That is it right now.

[–] blibla@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

where in settings is that? i saw that nowhere

[–] GargleBlaster@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

I just started using thunderbird for Android. Coincidence? I think so

For the lazy: Why do women seem to be more attracted to me as soon as I'm getting attention from other girls its like they know somehow

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thank you for this. I was dying of curiosity but too drunk to do my own research. You're a saint.

[–] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

I tried Thunderbird for android, it's too barebones right now for me. For the time being, I'm sticking with Samsung Mail, along side Proton Mail

adblocker in a mail client?

[–] ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Oh right I thought it was a broswer

[–] Lemongrab@lemmy.one 4 points 2 days ago

That is Thunderbird on Desktop, which uses Firefox ESR. Thunderbird on Android uses K-9 Mail's codebase.

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

its developed by Mozilla

If Thunderbird was on iOS I’d switch in a heartbeat.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I actually don't use it. AFAIK Thunderbird doesn't work with proton and no way do I want to get the E-Mail from my university (there are a lot of emails that arent important) on my phone.

[–] tb_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

On desktop there's an SMTP mail bridge you can install to use Proton Mail with another application. No such thing on mobile, though.

[–] Crow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thunderbird is native on Linux?

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What? I never mentioned Linux. But yeah, Thunderbird is native on Linux.

[–] renegadespork@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think they thought you meant “proton” the compatibility used to run Windows games on Linux, instead of ProtonMail.

Ahhhhh, that explains it.
