Is there an explanation of the differences?

[-] AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

K-9 was it's own thing, Mozilla came along gave them a lots of money and just forked there project and just renamed it and added their logo

So it's just a branding thing? That was my understanding already, I thought you meant there were functional differences

[-] leanleft@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

i'm thinking the mozilla version will be better maintained and have stuff added to it, in the future

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 1 points 2 months ago

It believe that too, the project just received more backing, it hasn't been taken over by a random new group

I'm in the same boat. It is completely fine since the apps only have cosmetic differences.
