Aleca reshared this.

So there are now 3:

"Thunderbird Beta for Testers"
f-droid.org/en/packages/com.fs…
which was K-9, now suggests and updated to TB 8.0, but latest there is 8.0b5

"Thunderbird Beta for Testers"
f-droid.org/en/packages/net.th…
suggests latest 8.0b5

"Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox"
f-droid.org/en/packages/net.th…
the actual release 8.0

If one used K-9 now updated to TB 8.0, will it receive updates? Or will the release have to be installed? Will all accounts have to be entered anew? Or migrated?

@erAck so this is the story in short off the top of my head (and apart from the recent metadata mixup):
K-9 partnered up with the Thunderbird team and the app got an overhaul. So effectively, Thunderbird for Android is K-9. However, they promised us that we K-9 users would not need to switch to TB, but if we wanted to at some point, there would be an easy way.
