Yes that is what we are left with.

Mozilla bought k9 and killed it, sad day for users.

No that will not work, users already opened an issue and asked to remove the spyware and Mozilla closed it:

https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/8199

Mozilla has gone full evil already, they took the only full featured, completely privacy respecting email app on the platform and killed it and they did it sneakily as well just like they did with PPA on firefox.

Luckily K9 in its existing version is fully functional. Users who care about privacy can continue to use K9.

K9 is a near perfect email client.

All Mozilla did was take an existing privacy respecting app (with zero user tracking) and add their spyware telemetry code to it: 544mozilla.telemetry.glean.

Now they are gas lighting users by advertising this new version as "privacy-focused".

Mozilla is like a virus at this point.

Because they took an existing, completely spyware free app- K9 and added invasive 544mozilla.telemetry.glean telemetry platform to it.

Now they need you to "test it" so they can track you and grab your data.

On the surface it looks the same as K9. Under the surface however Mozilla added spyware and their mozilla telemetry tracking code...

[–] Melco@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Now with 100% more Mozilla spyware!! (previously K9 had none)

[–] Melco@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Mozilla added hundreds of classes of spyware to K9 in their mozilla.telemetry.glean.* (which previous to Mozilla's involvement was spyware free) and rebranded it "Thunderbird" and now advertise it as "privacy-focused" wow..

K9 is not Thunderbird. There is a critical difference.

K9 is a private respecting app which contains no malicious user tracking telemetry, this app does.

[–] Melco@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

It won't be allowed at fdroid its full of Mozilla's spyware.

Yes all they did was take an existing private app and add their invasive telemetry spyware to it. How insulting.

[–] Melco@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

"Privacy focused" how can Mozilla lie like that? Mozilla must have a pretty dim view of users if they think they can take an existing private email app, add their disgusting user tracking code and advertise their new changes as "private".

Mozilla took over the K9 project and stuffed it full of intrusive telemetry just like firefox and Thunderbird on the desktop.

K9 has no telemetry, tracking or spyware, this version does.

PPA for your mobile email client, coming your way.

Pass I will not use this client.

Could you elaborate on this further? Is it just a generic KDE panel? How did you combine the two to get that effect?

Specifically how did you get the min Max close buttons from the active window titlebar to merge into the panel like that?

I known you can set no titlebar and frame for a window but how do you get the window buttons into the panel?
