Mozilla Thunderbird for Android is now available in beta, built upon the K-9 Mail app.

The beta includes core email features like account setup, email organization, and notifications, with feedback encouraged from users.

Thunderbird for Android will remain a separate app from K-9 Mail, requiring users to migrate if they previously used K-9.

Why? What does FairMail do better? The headline says it's privacy oriented, but so is k-9.

I'd say customizability. Haven't used k-9 since I found FairEmail so can't really say anything about how it is now but it used to be pretty bare bones. At least compared to FairEmail.

I love FairEmail's simplified mail viewer that doesn't render HTML mails completely and they look more like an enhanced plain text mail instead.
