Calling all users of K9 Mail from before the horrid UI update.

You will remember when K9 was a 5 star app and so many users loved the option of opening K9 showing the list of email accounts when you had more than one email account.

After the UI update, K9 dropped to 1 or 2 stars, I can't quite remember which, and the developer refused to bring this facility back. As the developer copped so much flak, he then put K9 on the market, selling K9 to Mozilla.

One user created Open Mail, which was a fork of K9 when it was a 5 star app. Screenshot below of Open Mail which is an exact copy of K9, before the UI update. This fork is 5.503 which still works great for me on my 32 bit phones.

My request here is for Mozilla to bring back the ability for K9 to open at your list of email accounts, if you have this option enabled. There are so many previous users of K9 that would love to see this come back. Some, like myself, went to Open Mail, and some others have gone to Fair Email, which has a different look, but also opens at the list of email accounts.

At the moment, if you have more than one email account, it is very clunky to navigate multiple accounts. I'm sure many of you would agree.

Spread the word and upvote this thread to get K9 back to where it was, 5 stars.
