Thunderbird for Android 8.0
When can I get it for android 14? End dad joke.
🥳
Been looking forward to this for a long time—K-9 Mail is an excellent mail client, but this is one step closer to Desktop/Mobile sync.
Doesn’t IMAP sync anyway?
Been using Thunderbird and K9 for years. All is the same on both.
After waiting years for this I ended up using FairEmail, which is absolutely amazing. I’d have a hard time switching to something else at this point.
Only that FairEmail looks like an ancient elephant… I tried to use it, but found it pretty complex.
The devs description states that it’s intentionally minimalistic visually and focuses on advanced features. FairEmail is way overkill for someone with a single gmail account for example. At the time that I found it, FairEmail was the only client that met all of my needs. Like managing multiple accounts, each with multiple folders and none of that unified nonsense. It’s also available on F-Droid and GitHub.
One important thing K-9 does that this doesn’t: realese on F-Droid.
What is this? At least provide a repository like DivestOS… while you are at it, get the code for the free software off of proprietary Microsoft GitHub.
The post says they’re working on releasing to F-Droid.
How on Earth do you lose this support in the handover shuffle—especially knowing the audience a third-party email client? I would say it shouldn’t be released if F-Droid support isn’t there since it isn’t something you would want to back-burner.
I’m pretty sure it’s an issue on F-Droid’s end, as it’s always a few days behind for all my other apps that get released on the play store as well. IIRC they have a release process that involves them compiling the packages that takes a while to run.
Android 8.0 💀💀💀
Just downloaded the apk. Thanks for the heads-up!
Anyone know if they plan to add other parts of the desktop version to the Android version? Would be nice to see at least the calendar. The RSS stuff would be cool too.
I think I remember reading some comments in a previous blogpost that it wasn’t really in the near-future roadmap at least. I think there are a couple good android calendar apps without needing Thunderbird to port that. RSS sync would be great though, I’d love that too.
