App Description
Thunderbird for Android
Thunderbird for Android is a powerful, privacy-focused email app. Effortlessly manage multiple email accounts from one app, with a Unified Inbox option for maximum productivity. Built on open-source technology and supported by a dedicated team of developers alongside a global community of volunteers, Thunderbird never treats your private data as a product.
Thunderbird for Android is based on K-9 Mail, which comes with a rich history of success and functionality in open source email.

K-9 Mail
In June 2022,
K-9 Mail joined the Thunderbird family
as the foundation for Thunderbird on Android. Since then, we’ve been updating both apps to give users the same solid experience, so it’s normal to notice that K-9 Mail and Thunderbird look and feel nearly identical. They’re built on the same code, and that’s intentional. You'll notice some features are selectively enabled for Thunderbird as opposed to K-9 Mail, usually when they are simply a better fit for Thunderbird (like the import from K-9 functionality).
If you prefer the robot dog and would like to keep K-9 Mail around, you can find it here:
K-9 Mail on Google Play
K-9 Mail on F-Droid
Forking
If you want to use a fork of this project please ensure that you replace the OAuth client setup in the
app-k9mail/src/{debug,release}/kotlin/app/k9mail/auth/K9OAuthConfigurationFactory.kt
and
app-thunderbird/src/{debug,daily,beta,release}/kotlin/net/thunderbird/android/auth/TbOAuthConfigurationFactory.kt
with your own OAuth client setup and ensure that the
redirectUri
is different to the one used in the main project. This is to prevent conflicts with the main app when both are installed on the same device.

Frequently Asked Questions about Thunderbird Beta for Testers APK
This variant is built for devices that report `arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86, x86_64` as their primary ABI. If your device's CPU matches, this is the smallest, fastest version to install.
Yes — the APK's signature has been cryptographically verified against the publisher's signing key. The SHA-256 hash is shown in the File Information panel so you can independently confirm the file matches the original release.
Android 21 (API level 35) or newer. Older devices will refuse the install.
Install a free app like 'CPU-Z' or 'Droid Hardware Info' from the Play Store and look at the ABI / Instruction Set row. Most phones made after 2017 are arm64-v8a; if in doubt, download the universal variant.
All variants are functionally identical — same features, same version. They differ only in which CPU architectures the native code is compiled for, and (sometimes) which screen densities the included graphics target. Pick the one that matches your device for the smallest install size, or pick 'Universal' if you're unsure.
