Just recently started using thunderbird to see how it would help managing múltiple Gmail accounts. Has anybody used the app version? Is it good? Bad?
I’ve been using K-9 for a while, works great, didn’t realise it was related to thunderbird.
Mozilla hired the dev, and K9 will be renamed to Thunderbird next month.
Interesting.
One or two years ago Mozilla hired the main developer of K-9 Mail. The dev previously raised enough donations to work on K-9 Mail for a while and modernize it after not having an official release for years.
Same. At some point had jumped on librem mail as it had forked k9 to update the interface, but have been back for a few years now.
K-9 is simply the best email client on android, I’ve been using it since 2015
I’ve been using it for a couple years with two accounts. It’s great imo, highly recommended
Not tried the app version. Been using Fairemail for a while now, since k9 was unmaintained.
Fairemail is well maintained. Quick. Supports multiple accounts very well. Loads of features (could be a downside for those who like things simple). Designed with security and privacy as top priorities right from the start. Open source development. For a long time its been the best email client on Android IMHO.
+1 for fairmail. Never have I seen an app so functional yet so ugly at the same time.
The same could be said for K-9. What more could you want from an email app.
Last time I checked, K-9 didn’t have OAUTH integration.
Granted, it’s been a few years, so that may have changed since then.
As much as I don’t like Gmail, I need it for work so it’s kinda important for productivity software to support that.
Edit: Nvm. Looks like they finally added OAUTH last year. Better late than never.
I moved from K9 to FairEmail too, and I think I’ll be staying as long as it’s maintained. I particularly like the focus on privacy.
I like how K-9 hooks directly into OpenKeychain for encryption. Does Fairemail do that?
Yes.
I think I’ve been using K-9 Mail for 10+ years or something. The settings were kind of all over the place but it has always been one of the email clients with the most features.
Yes, I use it and its worked well for years. It even supports Oauth
Yes, works well for me. My work uses GMail and K-9 supports it. I don’t have the Play Store and K-9 supports OAuth.
K-9 is being used as the base for Thunderbird for Android but it isn’t there yet. FairEmail is a lot closer in functionality at the moment.
I use Thunderbird for Gmail (among other accounts) and it has to regularly compress my Gmail box, which none of the Android clients do - in my experience, Aqua Mail, K-9 and FairEmail all struggle with a decent sized Gmail mailbox after a while.

I’ve been using it for many years with my four mailboxes and I am very happy with it!
Ofc. This is the way,
I have 4 accounts and it works as it should. Lots of options. It’s a complete mail system
Hangs down, the best email client for IMAP.
Yes, I use K-9 for my outlook/365 accounts and it works fine. I also have my NAVER account there but I can’t send emails because I’ve been too lazy to configure the SMTP settings properly.
Love it. No adds in my Gmail!
Do you get ads in Gmail in other clients? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one
Google’s gmail app recently started showing ads in the inbox alongside messages, really gross stuff
That sucks. I haven’t had any yet, but I’ll keep an eye out
This bs.
that sucks sm
