Very good professionally made mail application! Good minimalist and convenient UI, love the vibes of Mozilla Thunderbird. Works flawlessly with my two email accounts. I do miss PIN code lock feature when you have to enter code after launching the application. I had several occasions when I had to pass over my unlocked phone to another person for a short while and my email is a sensitive content that I would like to have extra privacy protection for.

1. Please improve the UI of the "Initial Identity" menu – it looks incomplete and abandoned. 2. Allow renaming folders. For example, I don’t want ā€œ[Gmail]/All Mailā€ — just ā€œAll Mailā€. 3. Regarding initials: don’t auto-select the first two letters. Let users choose which two characters to display, especially when multiple emails have similar names. 4. It would be great to upload a custom avatar instead of showing initials.

Thank you for your review and honest feedback, and many of these changes will be coming in the near future, especially for improving Google folders and more options to customize account icons, including images. You can follow our development updates at blog.thunderbird.net to learn when these will land!

Update: K-9 just pushed ~100 old messages to the top. Sadly got one foot out the door. // I've used and appreciated K-9 for many years. A request:In v 8.2 it pushes to the top of my in-box messages that it thinks I need to follow up on. Please provide a way to disable this function! It's confusing because the messages are not marked to differentiate then from new ones and irritating because I generally disagree with the algorithm on what needs my attention. Thanks for considering.

We're so sorry this happened, and you can set your preferences for what messages get synced (how many and how old) in Settings > [account] > Fetching Mail. If this doesn't fix the issue, we'd like to know more and help understand what's happening. Please open a support question at forum.k9mail.com so our support crew can help troubleshoot this!
