    K9 is not a Thunderbird fork, it was created as it’s own thing. Recently it’s been picked up by Mozilla to become Thunderbird for android with the original creator still on board.

        It’s actually the opposite, TBirdMobile is a fork of K9 (and it’s basically just reskinned blue for now lol), they currently have feature parity but at some point (supposedly already, but I guess they delayed it because K9 got an update a couple months ago) K9 is set to stop receiving updates as they fully switch over to TBird.

        I also love K9, been using it since ~2012.

        At least for now, it is just blue K9, but so help me if Mozilla hurts my sweet app I’m gonna throw a fit lol.
