Unfortunately, this version violates the DSVGO by sending telemetry without being asked. This shoots the app directly into out. I hope that the developers have an insight here and remove this function as soon as possible.

Use a DNS firewall because when you start the app it sends telemetry data to Mozilla.
No way I am letting Mozilla handle my email communication.
On Android I recommend FairEmail.
When I had an Android, I used the paid version of FairMail. Very good app, would recommend to everyone.
I've been using it for a few days. It's a nice app that I plan to continue using. I'm not currently a power user but it has everything I need and has performed flawlessly to this point.
Thank you.
i hope they'll still over it through fdroid too.
Been using K-9 for a time and tried Thunderbird - it feels kind of smoother and there are some visual overhauls but ended uninstalling it because it was hard for me to tell which mails were unread (and which ones not) in the main mail list while in dark mode. I guess I'm not the only one who felt that way and surely they will fix it but this also left me the sensation that there's not much sense in switching to Thunderbird if you're using K-9.
K9 is Thunderbird. You'll be switching if you like it or not. If you want, write a bug report on the visibility issue.
K9 is Thunderbird
Seems you didn't even read my comment - but no, at least for the moment K-9 is not Thunderbird..
K9 has been Thunderbird for quite a while now. The name hasn't changed yet officially, but the team has been incorporated a good while ago.
