I've been using Thunderbird on desktop since it was released and love it! Should be just as good for Android. :cool:

Hi all! We went ahead and launched BirdBox which runs Thunderbird on our UserLAnd platform. Therefore, you are going to get the Desktop Thunderbird experience on any Android device. Its probably most ideal on chromebook or tablet, but worth a try on your phone if you want it there too! Let us know your thoughts and you can find it on the link below. Thanks all.

Hi there
Actually on Samsung phones the standard email package works perfectly OK --IMAP, multiple accounts, connection to Ms type email (exchange) servers etc etc.

Not sure how other Android "Non Samsung" phones set up their email clients but if you have a Samsung phone the standard app is fine -- and I don't normally like standard "canned" apps either.

Cheers

I wish Thunderbird for desktop would update user interface to match current Firefox...it is still using the old GUI.
