"…we need to reach certain development milestones that will bring K-9 Mail into alignment with Thunderbird’s feature set and visual appearance."
As a long-time Thunderbird user, I have to say that's a really bad idea. The T-bird UI is ungainly and intimidating on the desktop, and I can't imagine any of it will translate well to mobile.

@RealGene @k9mail @thunderbird @fdroidorg yup. Fixing that on desktop, we have been hard at work fixing the UX and interface of TB on desktop (it's slow going due to technical debt of 20 years). For K-9, though, it's all about updating to Material 3 and doing other things to make it look like a modern Android app. But we aren't really changing much UX. Besides a few quality of life things, like not having to scroll to bottom of email to see there is an attachment.
