The Thunderbird for Android beta is out and we’re asking our community to help us test it. Beta testing helps us find critical bugs and rough edges that we can polish in the next few weeks. The more people who test the beta and ensure everything in the testing checklist works correctly, the better!
Anyone can be a beta tester! Whether you’re an experienced beta tester or you’ve never tested a beta image before, we want to make it easy for you. We are grateful for your time and energy, so we aim to make testing quick, efficient, and hopefully fun!!
The release plan is as follows, and we hope to stick to this timeline unless we encounter any major hurdles:
- September 30 – First beta for Thunderbird for Android
- Third week of October – first release candidate
- Fourth week of October – Thunderbird for Android release
K9 mail is all i have ever wanted in a mobile email client. Supports e2ee plugins too.
Mozilla has bigger issue imo. They should focus on maintaining, fixing and improving their existing core products instead of trying to cover everything.
Mozilla bought K9 mail. If you’re using K9, you’ve been “beta testing” Thunderbird for quite somd time now.
Interesting, then it is even more weird to create a new product.
It’s just a re-brand, really. Blue bird instead of red robo-dog.
Thunderbird is not developed by Mozilla Corporation, but an independent subsidiary named “MZLA”.
The only focus of this company is Thunderbird.
The title says “Mozilla” so either the title is wrong or this app is not developed by MZLA.
MZLA makes Thunderbird. Mozilla Corp makes Firefox. Mozilla Foundation owns both.
The title is wrong. Thunderbird is not developed by Mozilla.
Although Mozilla still provides CI, CDN, trasnlation tools, and other infrastructure.
@unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de I think Thunderbird is fairly core to Mozilla so this one doesn’t seem an example of that problem even though I do agree they have often seemed fairly unfocused.
