Thunderbird for Android Creeps Closer with New Account Setup System

Mozilla is slowly converting K-9 Mail into Thunderbird for Android.

The update also includes some minor changes and bugfixes.

So, Mozilla rewrote the entire account setup component.

Along with the new account setup process, K-9 Mail now offers greater support for assistive screen readers.

It also improves the readability of HTML messages and has a more legible dark mode.

Mozilla notes that there are a few problems with this release.

Some software keyboards will take a stab at use autocorrect when typing an email into the account setup screen.

The K-9 Mail app still has a way to go before it becomes Thunderbird for Android.

Based on what we know, Thunderbird for iOS won’t enter development until the Android app is completed.

you’re able to install K-9 Mail version 6.800 from theGoogle Play Store,GitHub, orF-Droid.

This update may not be immediately available to all users on the Play Store, per Mozilla.
