I’m long K9 user, and I was aware of it becoming Thunderbird, but I need to clarify what should I do to easy eventual transition, hopefully without having the deal with all my K9 settings…
Today K9 turned into Thunderbird Beta for Testers, however there’s already an app called that way Thunderbird Beta for Testers showing up on f-droid. Thoug the actual ID of each differ (com.fsck.k9 vs. net.thunderbird.android.beta).
What should K9 users do, to avoid losing its current settings (accounts, folder settings, encryption and so on)? Should we remain using the K9 app, and hope that when it goes away then the thunderbird app replaces it somehow automatically and pick all accounts and settings? Should this period when the two apps with the same name coexist be used to install thunderbird beta for testers, hope that it pick all settings from K9 up, and then remove K9?
It’s somehow confusing, I was originally hoping at some point K9 just turned into thunderbird, but at once, automatically, without still having two apps, so I’m wondering what’s next. For now I’m just still using the K9 app with thunderbird name…
Thanks !
I use betas almost everywhere, and apart from firefox sometimes having minor bugs (expectable in nightly), I’ve never had any real issues. So yeah, until it breaks down completely I’ll just use beta.
