 If thunderbird for android is done then they need to put it by mozilla in the google playstore just next to the firefox browsers and mozilla vpn. To let people know that thunderbird is available for android.

[Jeppie]

 Finally got my answer but it says expected. But still i'm happy there is a release coming.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to update everyone on our progress with Thunderbird for Android, specifically answering a question from @Jeppie. Our current target release date is December 2023. However, we do encourage anyone to test the current beta of K-9 Mail in F-Droid or Google Play , as feedback will improve the final product.

Also, our lead developer posts really useful monthly progress reports on the Thunderbird Blog. You can read the latest one here.

@jevangelhothank you. I have one question. Is there a mobile guide how to add a account because i get only errors when trying to add a account?

[jevangelho]

@JeppieYou're very welcome!
Hopefully this guide will be of help.
Something else to look forward to is that we're already testing Thunderbird's account autodiscovery feature in K-9 Mail, so the process of adding accounts will be much smoother!

[Jeppie]

@jevangelhothank you but 1 account doesn't connect and that is a live account. Does k9/thunderbird support live accounts?

[jevangelho]

@JeppieIt seems like this might be veering into a support need. If so, please go ahead and ask your question about account support here. Thanks!

[Jeppie]

 @jevangelho thank you. 2 things more is there coming a built-in calendar and when is dark mode coming for the widgets? 

[Jeppie]

  Give a option to have the toolbar on the bottom when mail is open like in proton mail app. 

[DonAlex]

Hmm I am on v6.602 which I think is the latest. Does this reflect the changes?

[Jeppie]

@jevangelhocan you make the widget messages available for edge panel(widget edge)?

Very interested in Thunderbird for Android to support more features like calendar, contacts, and tasks.

I'm a UX Designer and I've been creating sketches and Figma designs to explore what the Information Architecture and UI could be and I think there's some promising options! Would be very exciting and helpful! 😁
