Thunderbird is a free email application that’s easy to set up and customize - and it’s loaded with great features!

Updates in code base, interface, mobile development, plus improvements to the look and feel on Linux. Pretty cool to see!

    I mean you can rebrand an app, just not the package name. And users won’t see that. So they could rename it Thunderbird even though the package name would stay “com.fsck.k9”. It’s not at all uncommon.

    Though I’m sure they have their reasons for not doing that.

        That seems to be the answer as I’ve understood it

        Unfortunate, all the new users I know would prefer TB branding, or at least a toggle button in the Settings. The icon and name throw them off since they are already Desktop users.

          They’ve said that they will use the TB name when it is at parity with the desktop client. Even then, they may use both names. It’s possible that there are people who are using k9 who prefer it and may not even know that it is connected with TB.

          They have not set a timeline for when they expect to be there, but they have set a roadmap.
