I am crossing my fingers that Mozilla doesn't completely break K-9 mail by forcing Thunderbird before feature parity, it's my favourite mobile mail client. I love using the volume keys to quickly scroll through inbox messages and mark them as read. (Other clients don't seem to mark read unless you stare at a message for 3 seconds)

I think Thunderbird has feature party with K9 though, at least from my quick comparison. Seems that this is just a rebranding and UI update to Material 3 (a welcome one), but they intent to develop and maintain both apps for the time being.

I think K9 is also moving to Material 3 (there's an identically versioned K9 Beta, I haven't tested it though).

The only changes to my knowledge for Thunderbird is branding and colors.

Thunderbird team has been developing K9 for years now. This step is a small iteration from a technical point, but significant in that they feel it is stable and complete enough to put their name on.

Thunderbird is technically part of Mozilla but as far as I can tell, they are funded and operate pretty much independently from the browser and other parts of the org.

I believe Thunderbird is K9's current beta, rebranded.
