So, according to Jason Evangelho (Thunderbird team), when I asked for an ETA:
Currently, we're shooting for after Thunderbird 115 releases. It could either be late Summer or very early fall. Once we get the Account Autodiscovery module from Thunderbird desktop integrated, we'll be pretty close to flipping the switch. And we'll be sure to keep everyone posted on our blog at https://blog.thunderbird.net

Their road map: https://developer.thunderbird.net/planning/android-roadmap
They are going to rebrand it to Thunderbird and bring more integration between the mobile and desktop apps. I will bring some links, gimme a minute.
Very much so. I said recently that Thunderbird for Android is the most exciting thing happening in open source right now.
Indeed. I installed K-9 mail as soon as I discovered it would become Thunderbird for Android.
I am really excited for the K-9 (AKA thunderbird mobile) redesign. However, I do wish they will add outlook/office365 calendar support, so that I can move away from outlook for good.
I am, but mostly for the refreshed visuals. Over that happens I'll move the accounts I use K-9 for. After a few months if it works well I'll migrate other accounts. Not sure if I'll bother moving my Gmail and Outlook/Live accounts. I only use Thunderbird desktop to have a local copy.
I already use it on my desktop, so I am excited for the branded mobile version. Just hoping I can get exchange support on it in some way. I use an extension on the desktop version.
Yes I am. Once it comes to mobile, Ill definitely give it a try as a nice alternative to Gmail
Not really since I'm on IOS now.
That said, K9 was my favourite android mail client, and I used it up until recently. It was good but always felt like it needed a little extra love to help with bugs. So I think they'll end up with a good product.
Very, has there been any announcements or anything recently? Last I heard was they were going to use K-9 or something
Very much so, I've been eyeing a new email service and said I would finally subscribe once K-9 becomes Thunderbird.
Technically, I'm already using it as my daily driver (as K-9 Mail) and so have I been for several years already. What I'm looking forward to, is to get parity with desktop Thunderbird.
