Talking of #K9email and essentially #ThunderbirdForAndroid, it's interesting to look at from the outside in. K9 fans are adamant that it's the gold standard in #Android email apps. #FOSS enthusiasts will swear by #FairEmail and anyone that's objectively impartial will tell you both could do better, for different reasons.
K9 has a bunch of legacy debt and it's unfortunate that they'll bring that over to #Thunderbird. If you were designing a brand new email app from the ground up, it would do a lot of things differently than how K9 does them and to appease the userbase, that will likely remain the case forever.
FairEmail does better in a bunch of ways, but also has too many options and irregular UX components. Needless ones at that. Like the bottom bar. The weird padding on the top bar and the choice of assets. Seriously, just use material icons. They're available online for free!
