PSA: if you've not used it in awhile, use the betas via F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.fsck.k9/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.fsck.k9/ You have to click "Versions" from the F-Droid app and specifically opt-in (and upgrade) the betas, F-Droid will default to installing the older stable version.
The betas are almost night (mode heh) and day apart, the UI and operations have almost a complete overhaul from the old days and it looks (and works) really great on my Android 11 device. This isn't K-9 Mail on your T-Mobile G1 anymore, it's a brand new day for the betas.
- zufallsheld 6y agoI just checked: you can access the beta program in the play store, too!
- dr_hooo 6y agoThanks for the pointer - much improved indeed! I was getting the impression that development had ceased and never knew that F-Droid doesn't always install the latest available version.
- antibuddy 6y agoIt's a bit annoying that you can't make F-Droid auto-update to latest when the "suggested" is not the latest. The version is also split on GitHub[1] and I can only guess why. [1]: https://github.com/k9mail/k-9 https://github.com/k9mail/k-9
- tubularhells 6y agoOh wow the beta looks nice. I'll test it and donate if it's something I'll change over to. Currently I use FairEmail, a Dutch opensource project done buy a local guy. It's good but it has some nuances and way too much granularity for my taste.
- RealStickman_ 6y agoThis is huge! Thanks for sharing.
- TwoNineFive 6y agoThis comment fails to mention that the beta versions are totally fucking broke in many ways and don't even do IMAP IDLE. There's a reason they are still in beta.
- stonesweep 6y agoYour salty demeanor is misdirected at the messenger, and that issue is literally the top bullet item on the developer's blog post as what the money will support to get coded. Be nice.
