Mozilla Thunderbird for Android is now available in beta, built upon the K-9 Mail app.

The beta includes core email features like account setup, email organization, and notifications, with feedback encouraged from users.

Thunderbird for Android will remain a separate app from K-9 Mail, requiring users to migrate if they previously used K-9.

'You can download Thunderbird Beta on the Google Play Store, or get the latest pre-release version from the Github Releases page.'

It's just launched today in beta. I'd expect it to be there eventually, but you can grab it from GitHub if you want to try it.

Won't appear. Mozilla is a bitch about trademarks.

Well, an unbranded build would be perfectly possible, like how "Fennec" is just a build of Firefox. In case they continue to release updates for K-9, that would be an unbranded app right there...

They have said that they will continue to release identical versions of each in the immediate future.

Cool, that seems like the best way to handle this.
