Benvenuto nel Poliverso

PSA: If you haven't updated #K9Mail to 12.0, please don't update it. It will crash on start if you use the unified inbox. The bug has been fixed in 12.1 and will be available in the next #FDroid update. #Thunderbird is not affected, kind reminder to consider switching as K-9 will go away in the future anyway.

Workaround for now: Make a widget for a single mailbox, then you can open K-9, you can change accounts and disable unified inbox.

Or switch to FairEmail, it's the best I have used.

mhh, so there's nothing to mark an existing version as "yanked" or something similar?

@joshix We can mark it "disabled: crashes" today, but it needs a new cycle to process it and apply it.

@joshix It sounds to me like you should prioritize figuring out ways to apply low-risk patches (like disabling certain releases) to the repository in between cycles. I know I'm "back-seat driving" but this isn't the first time this has happened, and you must know that many users (probably the majority) don't follow you on here.

@neatnit @joshix especially because we are in a lose lose situation: on "regular" Android you cannot downgrade, and if you have an F-Droid build it's impossible to upgrade to a version from upstream even though they already fixed and released it.

@cvtsi2sd @neatnit in this particular case downgrading didn't help me. I think with reproducible builds it would be possible to install a build from upstream directly.

@joshix @neatnit isn't the APK going to need the same signing keys from upstream to be compatible? But those surely cannot be shared, unless the idea is "I re-run the build, check that the result is the same as the original APK and then ship the original one".

don't worry, they said. You will always be able to choose between k-9 and Thunderbird, they said. K-9 will not be replaced, they said. 😅

I thought K9 was just some kind of placeholder/clone with the old icon, nowadays... why is there a difference between the 2 apps?

After the K-9 update, at least visually they are exactly the same. Don't know about the code of course.

@wortezimmer Right now the goal is for K-9 Mail and Thunderbird to be the same, code-wise. This may change in the future, but for right now they should be the same minus colors and branding.

#Thunderbird #fdroid

Is this just happening to me? I have lots of email filters sorting RSS messages into imap folders, with the idea of reading them on my mobile devices.

When the folders turned out empty last night (except for the top level inboxes) my first scare was that Thunderbird had deleted all the messages., but I can still see them on the real Thunderbird on Linux.

I have rebooted my Android devices (Fairphone 5 and Lenovo Tab M11) without success. I have disabled unified inbox too.

Help!

to add to that: Switching from #k9mail to #thunderbird is a matter of seconds; Thunderbird can import all accounts and settings from K9 at the press of a few buttons.
