@flarion We're working on a blog post that will provide the tl;dr, and we'll also be adding transcripts to future videos. But basically, we're working on the smoothest transition possible between K-9 and Thunderbird for Android, using Sync or possibly a one-tap migration.

@mdosch No, just the subtitles for now (in English and German). But your question prompted me to update the PeerTube and YouTube links with the transcript. Great idea :D

Please check again and you should see it.

I don't like the mentioned #Mozilla stuff (like accounts and Sync).

Will this kind of features limited to the #Thunderbird version of the code base?

@nick I should add that using a Mozilla Account and thus using Sync is completely *optional*

More info https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/sync#w_what-if-i-dont-want-to-sync

Sync Firefox data | Mozilla Support

Learn what Sync is, how it works, what it lets you do and how to avoid data loss with Sync, Firefox and your Mozilla account.

Thanks for your reply.

Do i have to install it... or is it possible to select options on installation (like installers sometimes do on desktop systems)?

Do you plan customization options of the UI?

What about a transition path like
in #K-9 : Backup > Settings export
and then in new Thunderbird App : Settings import
