Hi,
ich habe einfach die Browser Appsuite auf dem Homebildschirm installiert. Mail mache ich dann mit #k9mail und Dateien Integration jetzt auf meinem #shiftphone8 mit #eos mit #oxdrive . Ich nutze die offizielle von #mailbox_org empfohlenen Apps und Anleitungen unter Android. Ist auch alles recht gut beschrieben.

ELI5: #K9Mail und #Thunderbird transition?

Can someone briefly explain when the transition between #k9mail and #Thunderbird is supposed to happen?

I find it confusing they exist in parallel for so long and the info I find just claim there is a transition, but when and how?

For how long can I just stick to K9 if I am not really keen on new features or seeing the cutting edge progress in TB?

Seit k-9 Mail übernommen wurde, hat sich die App zu einem Bloat entwickelt.

Am Wochenende werden ich eine uralt-Version in meinem Archiv suchen und hoffen, dass der Import der Einstellungen funktioniert. Wenn nicht, nehme ich das neu-Einrichten als Buße, ein Update ohne Zwang gemacht zu haben.

Gerade wieder gesehen: bei E-Mail Clients wird der frei erfundene "Name" angezeigt und nicht die E-Mail Adresse. Ich habe meinen Android Mail-Client k-9 Mail so umkonfiguriert, dass immer die Mail-Adresse des Senders und nicht dessen Name angezeigt wird. Da ich sonst nur Thunderbird nutze: weiss jemand, ob und wie das bei anderen Mail-Clients geht und dokumentiert das für die grosse weite Windows- und Mac-Welt da draussen ?

@kuketzblog

The last update of the "wonderful" mail program #k9mail is broken regarding communication with #openkeychain .
It states "can not connect".
No, a restart did not solve the problem

@ploum
Which #FDroid app to use?

Currently on #k9mail.

@Tutanota Nice awareness. Although I have been using #Disroot as my primary mail service provider since 2018 (just after OpenMailBox was sold), I have recently added #Tuta as a secondary. (Recommendations from https://www.fsf.org/resources/webmail-systems)

Btw, I have been using #K9Mail (becoming #Thunderbird now) since a decade on my Android phone.

I have found that Tuta is not supporting IMAP/SMTP protocols and hence I will have to install Tuta's Android application. How does it works without these protocols?

@thunderbird argh!

"For several reasons, we won’t be continuing with Material UI. Instead, we’ll be using our own homegrown Bolt UI."

why?! I want apps to fit the OS and not doing their own "branding"… one of the reasons I decided to use #k9mail in the first place…

This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is so quick:

* news from below, sneak peek on our infra
* more #Ente partnerships
* #K9Mail #Thunderbird one year later #JMAP
* fourth #ProtonPrivacy app included (still not #ProtonMail)
* #Saracroche inclus, appels de spam exclus
* #StatusIM goes legacy, new app soon
* #Syncthing Fork drama, #ReproducibleBuild to the rescue?
+ 11 new apps
& 211 updates

A new surprise: #k9mail shows a red bar with a warning about [EXTERNAL E-MAIL], but doesn't display the mail text. This bar does not contain any link.
Is there a way to change this behaviour or should I use a different mail client or what ?
If I scroll to the bottom I see the attachment but the mail text (white on white, the required space for the mail text is probably used) is only visible if I select ("...as new mail" - in german: "Als neue Nachricht bearbeiten")

@WebAppsMagazine Note that #K9Mail is scheduled to become obsolete soon. Better switch to #Thunderbird early.

Grml. Wondered why I don't get email in my imap subfolders on #android.

It was not my email server but this bug:
https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/9567

Finally found it and the documented workaround works 🎉

@leyrer that was "that" problem

@echopapa @atarifrosch @necrosis Ich habe K-9 Mail #k9mail auf meinem Android Smartphone so konfiguriert, dass mir nicht der vom Absender selbst gewählten Namen, sondern dessen E-Mail Adresse angezeigt wird. Das hilft ungemein beim Erkennen von Phishing-Mails.
Eventuel geht das bei Desktop Mail-Clients auch - keine Ahnung. Dann muss man nicht unbedingt den Maiheader lesen und verstehen können.

#K9Mail rebranding into #Thunderbird is not going well.

Two weeks ago K9 was crashing at startup, whatever you did - I switched to TBird https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/9737

Now I've found out the font size menu was removed in TBird https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/9674

Switching back to K9 and looking for alternatives #mail clients on #Android...

Is it just me or are IMAP subfolders broken in @k9mail and @thunderbird since 12.0?
Just tried Thunderbird as well and I can't download any emails in subfolders. (12.0+12.1)

Used to work fine 11.1.

Is there some switch one needs to flip?

#k9mail #thunderbird

Are Thunderbird and K-9 mail different?

Aaaarghhhhhh

K9 Mail/Thunderbird for Android 12.0, released a few days ago, introduced a bug where if you had multiple accounts and a unified inbox, it would crash on startup.

That bug's fixed in 12.1. But it revealed another bug also introduced in 12.0 where it won't properly sync with some IMAP setups, so I had to revert to 11.1 again because my primary email account is affected.

💬 WECHSEL von #K9mail auf @thunderbird

UPDATE:
Es ist total easy. Die Daten müssen nicht vorher von K9 Mail exportiert werden

#Thunderbird installieren und dann den Weg gehen, wie in den Screenshots zu sehen. Das auswählen, was aus #K9mail importiert werden soll - fertig 👌

Thunderbird liest die Daten direkt aus K9 Mail aus

PSA: If you use #K9Mail, be aware that v12.0 has a bug with unified accounts. v12.1 seems to be not yet available on @fdroidorg though. You might find https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/9737#issuecomment-3263800577 helpful. :opensource:
