Updates in code base, interface, mobile development, plus improvements to the look and feel on Linux. Pretty cool to see!

    There are going to be two clients for an unspecified period of time. Same code base, different branding. It’s not possible to take an existing app released through the app stores and rebrand it. The new Thunderbird app will have import tools to help folks transition.

      I mean you can rebrand an app, just not the package name. And users won’t see that. So they could rename it Thunderbird even though the package name would stay “com.fsck.k9”. It’s not at all uncommon.

      Though I’m sure they have their reasons for not doing that.
