Is there any difference, currently? Aside from the logo, I can't see anything different from K-9 Mail.

One of the biggest draws is the ability to transfer from K-9 Mail to Thunderbird for Android

I literally just tried that, and it failed. LOL. Ended up setting up the account manually.

Edit: ~~Also doesn't seem to have the push mail option like K-9 has.~~ It does have push, it's just enabled very differently. Go into Folder Settings, select a folder (Inbox in my case), and then turn on "Enable Push". You may also need to grant it Alarms and Reminders permission manually on newer Android versions if it doesn't prompt for it.

I think material you?

More ambition, lol. The K9 Mail app now has backing by Mozilla

It is identical. They've said that they will continue to release them in parallel with different branding. This has to do with users' preferences, but also with certain downstream things like network trust and store requirements.

You have to export your settings from k9 and then import that file. Direct import didn't work for me as well.

I think some colors differ slightly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah I had to export it manually from K9 then it worked perfect
