Have you considered opening your own f-droid repo so that users can access updated versions faster? That seems to me, would align with "[Your] continuous efforts to own [your] packages and distribution methods" https://mastodon.online/@thunderbird/112021843687672801 . Or adding Desktop Thunderbird DEB package to the mozilla repo https://9to5linux.com/how-to-install-firefox-as-a-deb-package-in-debian-ubuntu-or-linux-mint

When are you going to start changing the things that make K-9 better than Thunderbird?

Or put another way, those of us who use K-9 mail and dislike Thunderbird, when should we be ready to switch?

Hmmm..... To be honest I never had any issue adding mail accounts to K-9 mail, while in Thunderbird I basicalle always finish adding a mail account manually as settings are not fully OK.

So, why change things that ain't broken...??!!!

@da_habakuk We want the desktop app to be better and more resilient than ever - aka, thriving! That feels like the opposite of dying to us. :)
