Hm. That's kind of end of era for me.

K9-Mail was the app which shown me that 800x480px screen can be used better than Maemo does it. So after playing with NITDroid on Nokia N900 l went and bought Nexus S.

Over decade passed. K9-Mail was always on my phone. Still it.

Tb beta migrated settings fine. Folder names in side menu look worse. Probably something to get used to.

Anyway staying with K9-Mail 8beta for now.

@Adam Hey there - I (Monica) don't have an Android device to check this, but this recent post on the K-9 Mail forum might be helpful for troubleshooting this: forum.k9mail.app/t/cannot-get-…

Also, we're using all the feedback to help us create FAQs and Getting Started guides on Mozilla Support, and I've added a note we should include Push and Poll settings in said guides.

just tried to migrate from k9, import from app did not work (file worked). There already is an older ticket on GitHub, but is it not assigned.
Next thing which is a huge show stopper for me is the missing support for nested and collapsible/expandable IMAP folders. The "folder.subfolder.subsubfolder.foo" workaround is a real deal-breaker, especially when you have 100 folders (incl subfolders). There also already is an existing unassigned ticket for this.

The rest seems fine so far 👍

@catswhocode Awesome! And it's seriously easy. If you're on F-Droid there's still a little wait, but otherwise follow the blog, come chat with us on Matrix or our mailing list, and let us know if you could get through the testing checklist! (Also, we might be birds who adopted a robot dog, but a lot of Team Thunderbird are cat people!)

Breaking laws is not a good start is it? As mentioned in other comments, it is not allowed to collect (even anonymous) data without consent at least in Germany.

The argument "Otherwise de do not get enough data" is no argument. First, K9 worked without as well and second, it is ridiculous to break a law with such an explanation.

I recommend everyone to checkout FairEmail as real alternative.
