Anyone know if they plan to migrate the f-droid k-9 app to this new version, or will k-9 entry in f-droid stop being updated, and you have to install from the new Thunderbird branded f-droid entry?
If I remember correctly, in a previous blog pretty, they started that k-9 would continue to be updated with the same functionality. There was something else other than branding that was going to be different but it wasn’t consequential (at least not enough for me to remember).
Yes. What I mean is: in the future when they do release it on f-droid, will I have uninstall k-9 from f-droid and reinstall this version from Mozilla on f-droid, or will my existing f-droid k-9 install automatically turn into the Thunderbird f-droid version from Mozilla on some future update?
I’ve been using K-9 instead. What am I missing out on?
AfaIk there are no diffences between the same release of TB and K9, except a different ‘branding’.

Having been on K9 myself.
I checked my version # it was 8.0B and updated the 28th.
Installed Thunderbird because even the K9 site leads to it now.
Thunderbird app has a easy import via app, I just selected K9 import and re-sign into my provider ✅.
Isn’t it the norm for the F-Droid versions of apps to lag behind the Google store counterparts?
