I'm not switching to Thunderbird I'm sticking with K-9

Aren't they the same now?

[–] AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes and no

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is there an explanation of the differences?

[–] AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

K-9 was it's own thing, Mozilla came along gave them a lots of money and just forked there project and just renamed it and added their logo

So it's just a branding thing? That was my understanding already, I thought you meant there were functional differences

i'm thinking the mozilla version will be better maintained and have stuff added to it, in the future

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 1 points 1 day ago

It believe that too, the project just received more backing, it hasn't been taken over by a random new group

I'm in the same boat. It is completely fine since the apps only have cosmetic differences.
