The wait is over! Download and learn how to help us test the Thunderbird for Android beta for the upcoming regular release.

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

    On 13 June 2022, it was announced that K-9 Mail had been taken over by MZLA Technologies Corporation, a subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation with current maintainer Christian Ketterer joining the team, and plans for K-9 Mail to be rebranded as Thunderbird for Android following the completion of a feature roadmap, including sync with Thunderbird on PC, integrating Thunderbird’s automated account setup system, message filtering, and improvements to folders.

    Bit of a, bit of b. It is not yet. But the final version of Thunderbird will replace K9. So if you’re not happy with the beta, write an issue in their bug tracker.
