Thunderbird for Android

Thunderbird for Android is a powerful, privacy-focused email app. Effortlessly manage multiple email accounts from one app, with a Unified Inbox option for maximum productivity. Built on open-source technology and supported by a dedicated team of developers alongside a global community of volunteers, Thunderbird never treats your private data as a product.

Thunderbird for Android is based on K-9 Mail, which comes with a rich history of success and functionality in open source email.

K-9 Mail

In June 2022, K-9 Mail joined the Thunderbird family as the foundation for Thunderbird on Android. Since then, we’ve been updating both apps to give users the same solid experience, so it’s normal to notice that K-9 Mail and Thunderbird look and feel nearly identical. They’re built on the same code, and that’s intentional. You'll notice some features are selectively enabled for Thunderbird as opposed to K-9 Mail, usually when they are simply a better fit for Thunderbird (like the import from K-9 functionality).

If you prefer the robot dog and would like to keep K-9 Mail around, you can find it here:

K-9 Mail on Google Play
K-9 Mail on F-Droid
K-9 Mail on Obtainium (use K-9 Mail as filter, see notes above)

Forking

If you want to use a fork of this project please ensure that you replace the OAuth client setup in the app-k9mail/src/{debug,release}/kotlin/app/k9mail/auth/K9OAuthConfigurationFactory.kt and app-thunderbird/src/{debug,daily,beta,release}/kotlin/net/thunderbird/android/auth/TbOAuthConfigurationFactory.kt with your own OAuth client setup and ensure that the redirectUri is different to the one used in the main project. This is to prevent conflicts with the main app when both are installed on the same device.

Thunderbird-android

这是什么？

Thunderbird for Android 是一款开源、注重隐私的电子邮件应用，可以在一个地方管理多个邮箱账户，还能选择使用“统一收件箱”。它基于原 K-9 Mail 的代码库开发。

如果我要 fork 这个项目，需要注意什么？

你需要把 K9OAuthConfigurationFactory.kt 和 TbOAuthConfigurationFactory.kt 文件中的 OAuth 客户端配置替换为你自己的凭据，并使用不同的重定向 URI，否则会与官方应用发生冲突。

这个应用也有 iOS 版本吗，还是只有安卓版？

只有安卓版。项目名称和整个代码仓库都专门针对安卓客户端，没有提及 iOS 版本。

它如何处理我的私人数据？

项目明确注重隐私，并声明从不把用户数据当作商业产品。

Thunderbird for Android 和 K-9 Mail 有什么区别？

两者共享同一套代码，外观也几乎一模一样，但一些功能（例如从 K-9 导入账户）只在 Thunderbird 中启用；K-9 Mail 仍然单独提供，供偏好它的用户使用。

什么是统一收件箱？

它是一个单一视图，会把你所有已配置邮箱账户的邮件合并显示，无需在各个账户的收件箱之间来回切换。

为什么要用 Beta 版而不是稳定版？

Beta 版通道可以让你抢先体验开发中的功能，这些功能要等到稳定版在 Google Play 或 F-Droid 发布后才会正式推出。

K-9 Mail 怎么样了？

K-9 Mail 于 2022 年 6 月加入了 Thunderbird 大家庭，并成为安卓版 Thunderbird 的基础；如今两款应用都基于同一套代码同步更新。
