Had never heard of this before today. Anyone tried it? EDIT: “Being a fork of Mozilla Thunderbird, the software collects some data about the user, less than the original Mozilla Thunderbird, as outlined in Thunderbird’s privacy statement. No data is submitted to Betterbird, some data may be submitted to Mozilla. No telemetry and no crash reports are submitted, however, add-on updates and blocklists are downloaded from Mozilla sites. Betterbird offers a product Start Page which processes access data as described above.”

minus-squareOtter@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoI was looking into k-9 mail and it seemed decent What stuff did you want to have in a mobile app?
minus-squaresomething_random_tho@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 months agoK-9 mail is literally Thunderbird. It’s been rebranded and taken over by Mozilla. They’re keeping the k-9 branding as its own (otherwise identical) app as a nostalgia token for the people that have used it for a long time.

minus-squareOtter@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoThe email servers themselves are separate (ex. Gmail, your school email server, work email server, etc.). Thunderbird / K9 are clients that let you access the email on your device So they should all be compatible with each other
