The Mozilla Thunderbird development team shared today their plans to develop a full-featured email client for Android devices in collaboration with the K-9 Mail Project.

After years of talks, both the Mozilla Thunderbird and K-9 Mail projects have decided to focus their efforts on an improved version of the K-9 Mail open-source Android email app by offering users a better account setup experience using Thunderbird's account auto-configuration wizard, the ability to sync Thunderbird desktop and mobile apps, support for message filters, and improved folder management.

In time, this work that the developers of the Mozilla Thunderbird and K-9 Mail projects plan to implement in the coming months will transform the existing K-9 Mail app for Android into Thunderbird for Android, in an attempt to offer the Open Source community a more powerful and privacy-respecting email experience on mobile devices.
