Only the name and design, that's all.

There recently was some feature that made me switch from k9 to Thunderbird. Gmail support maybe? I can't remember. But the differences definitely aren't purely cosmetic.

Gmail support was introduced to K-9 mail as one of the first features after Thunderbird took over ☝🏻

I've been using GMail in K-9 Mail for years. Maybe you're thinking of OAUTH 2 support?

[-] morethanevil@lemmy.fedifriends.social 3 points 2 months ago

Yes Oauth 2 support is what I meant

I'm pretty sure Thunderbird mobile has some changes under the hood but maybe not

I still remember when c/android@lemmy.world scolded me for saying K-9 and Thunderbird were two different apps.
