Now, K-9 Mail's maintainer Christian Ketterer, known as "cketti", has also announced that K-9 Mail will soon become Thunderbird. The project manager for Thunderbird, Ryan Lee Sipes, had recently publicized that this project was on its way. Our commitment to desktop Thunderbird is unchanged, most of our team is committed to making that a best-in-class email client and it will remain that way,” Thunderbird said.Mozilla Thunderbird has announced that it is collaborating with K-9 Mail to bring its email client to Android. K-9 will supplement the Thunderbird experience and enhance where and how users are able to have a great email experience. “Many Thunderbird users have asked for a Thunderbird experience on mobile, which we intend to provide by helping make K-9 amazing (and turning it into Thunderbird on Android). In 2022, the two have decided that rather than Thunderbird developing its own app from scratch, K-9 should simply join Thunderbird. With new features such as OpenPGP end-to-end encryption and a long-awaited mobile app, the Thunderbird project was able to forge its own path.Īccording to the Thunderbird team, discussions began in 2018 between Thunderbird product manager Ryan Lee Sipes and K-9’s lead maintainer Christian Ketterer about a possible collaboration for a Thunderbird email app. Thunderbird was moved to the Mozilla Foundation’s subsidiary MZLA Technologies Corporation two years ago, in a similar ownership structure to Firefox under the foundation’s subsidiary, Mozilla Corporation. Thunderbird, the open source email client, is coming to Android via the K-9 Mail Android email app project, which is merging with Thunderbird to form the Thunderbird Android email app.
