@nixCraft I think @mozillaofficial should hand over #Firefox to @torproject and let #TorBrowser become the new #upstream!

I mean, @thunderbird / #Thunderbird got taken over by it's community as well. Not shure if they have any relations beyond #Trademark and some #Hosting infra at #Mozilla...

@kkarhan @nixCraft @mozillaofficial @torproject @thunderbird and thunderbird is an amazing email client.

I agree but, at the same time, what they did to K9 Mail absolutely sickens me and genuinely makes me question if they have some nefarious motive.

@bobkmertz @kkarhan @0xF21D @nixCraft No nefarious motives. And the post isn't live on our blog yet, but the next Android Progress Report discusses some of the changes coming (back) to the account drawer, which we hope reassure our long-term K-9 Mail users like yourself. We'll post a link here once it's published, but for anyone reading this, all our Android updates live at https://blog.thunderbird.net/category/mobile-news/

@thunderbird
The account drawer was the straw that broke my back but for me it's more about bloat. Before Thunderbird's involvement K-9 was one of the quickest apps on my phone and it just did it's job. I don't need my mobile to sync with my laptop because that's exactly what IMAP is for. If I need something powerful I'll go to my laptop but on mobile I just want it to be quick and painless. Nothing wrong with forking K-9 and creating Thunderbird for Android on top of K-9 for those that want extra features but the majority that were using K-9 were doing so *because* of it's simplicity. Telling us K-9 would continue to exist and then essentially just building Thunderbird and releasing a "branded" version was the wrong thing to do. I miss when K-9 ran on old and under-powered phones - it no longer does that.

Maybe you don't have a nefarious motive but forcing features onto people who don't want them isn't a good look... And is kinda exactly what Mozilla is self destructing over.
