Thunderbird for Android 8.0 Takes Flight
Thunderbird for Android takes flight today! Find out what's new in the first stable release, where to download it, and how to get started!
There is a separate thunderbird app from k-9 now, so apparently not just an update. Obnoxious though that the new app lists a bunch of collected data types while k-9 doesn't list any. Maybe just a legacy thing since K-9 has been around forever and they didn't list them originally, but still upsetting for the privacy minded.

Not gonna lie, I was super confused why F-Droid was updating thunderbird beta on my device when I was updating apps a few days ago. Took me a while to realize k9 was apparently changed to thunderbird beta.
Apparently that is only a metadata issue that should be fixed soon(TM). The installed app is still k9 https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/8478
Oh... Well, too late for me. Ended up uninstalling it and replacing it with thunderbird because I thought they were rebranding it to thunderbird beta.
pulled in my K9 settings and good to go, seems like.
Haven't they added telemetry and all that? Shame if so.
I like k9. Let's see if this improves it, or not.
it's on by default in beta, off in stable.
Does TB no longer partner with gandi or Mailfence? It used to be that when you did a new install of TB, it would provide links on how to get a new email address with one or both of them. Since TB Android looks to be basically just K9 Mail (?), I'm assuming there's no calendar or calendar sync function?
Thunderbird android is k9 mail
