My favorite mobile email app now working with my favorite desktop email app. Love it!

Hate to be a stick in the mud, but I worry about a loss of focus when Thunderbird is one of the few in a dying category on the desktop, which is much less true on mobile.

FairEmail seems a lot more feature filled and better than K9. I think it even tops Desktop Thunderbird.

The two work in tandem, though. I use Firefox on mobile because I use Firefox on desktop. That and it being the only Android browser that runs uBlock Origin, of course.

I currently use Thunderbird on desktop, but use a combination of Gmail and Outlook on Android. If Thunderbird picks up K-9 mail and turns it into a first-class mobile client, I'll probably use Thunderbird instead of the Outlook app. People like consistency.

Not thrilled. I use K9 and I don't really want Thunderbird to have anything to do with it :/

I'll be certain to use whatever fork of K-9 is available rather than anything Mozilla. WHERE'S THE SAVE TO PDF OPTION on mobile Firefox?

Why be so condescending?

Also, they could use Firefox on mobile to keep their history and bookmarks in sync across devices in addition to some extensions they find useful, like uBlock Origin as they mentioned. Just because the number of extensions is less than desktop doesn't mean the extensions that do exist aren't game changers for them.
