@fdroidorg So K-9 is still a thing? I thought it was replaced by Thunderbird since I was suggested to update it to thunderbird.

@timkrief @fdroidorg k-9 now shares a codebase with thunderbird, the built apk has just a different branding

@joshix @timkrief @fdroidorg great, that means I can stay with K-9. Thanks for the clarification.

@timkrief
At least it is still a thing for a while/for now.
AFAIK, IIRC, it’ll be fully replaced, but there has been some discussions for keeping the original icon and names somewhere in the app settings, in a similar way as it exists with Fedilab icons.

Apparently it was just a bug in the index, where the app store displayed a wrong name. Hitting the update button would have gotten you k9 and not Thunderbird.

@timkrief @fdroidorg Same here. Will they coexist in the long term? If so, in how far do they differ?

@laubblaeser @timkrief @fdroidorg they last committed to keeping the K-9 branding in August, on a now sundowned blog: k9mail.app/2024/08/28/What's-H

"And for all of you who are fans of our little robot dog, the K-9 app and all its associated branding will be maintained alongside Thunderbird for the foreseeable future"

But the very next month, on the new blog: blog.thunderbird.net/2024/09/t

"And yes, K-9 will eventually be phased out"

Bummed out by this. Definitely did not want corpo buyout of my email app

@achadwick @timkrief @fdroidorg So it's exactly the same app with no changes except for the branding? If so, then I'll just switch over from #K9Mail to #Thunderbird rather sooner than later to be done with it.

@laubblaeser @timkrief @fdroidorg Seeing how Mozilla's priorities have changed over the past couple of years, I live in vain hope that a Fennec-like situation arises. An independent defanged build some time between when they drop the K-9 branding and when they start shovelling crapware that nobody wants into the product. Perhaps it could be called FIDO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K9_(Doct

(Shame that maintaining such a build is bloody hard work..)
