K-9 mail

Nice

Soon to be Thunderbird!

I switched to K9 because Gmail started serving malicious, half-screen ads in their Android client. Slowly moving my whole life to ProtonMail.

i don't trust protonmail, either.

I mean that's fair, you can't trust anyone but yourself, your best bet is to self-host and hope your emails get accepted. Then again, I don't trust myself to securely set up my own email host.

Email is generally considered the one thing you never want to self host, so that hope is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Why don't you trust protonmail?

Yes, whenever that Thunderbird transition actually happens! I use Thunderbird on desktop, so I'm looking forward to seeing how that goes, but it's been a long time since it was announced, and is there even a date established?

I'm a little confused as well, I think it's already under the Thunderbird team's control, but they haven't re-branded yet?

That is correct. The K-9 dev has been with the Thunderbird team for a while now and the project repo is thunderbird-android. Don't know when the rebrand is coming.
