the app is okay, though I'm not a fan of the way the unified inbox is sorted, like it isn't the top heading in a folder with multiple inboxes. it's not intuitive. and, what about unified spam, trash, and draft folders? good UI and it works well enough without ads on your face.

Thanks for your review! We're responding to feedback like yours, and our upcoming changes to the account drawer will also include a better experience for the Unified Inbox and other unified folders. You can read more and see screenshots in the Juny Mobile Progress Report at blog.thunderbird.net!

It takes a bit of getting used to, but overall it works well. One major minus is that there is no option to print an email (or create a pdf). Why is something so basic not included?? The lack of print/pdf functions removes 2 stars! If ever there was something to improve on, this is it. I am still in shock. I don't want to have to email myself to a different email address on a different app to print an email. Please sort this out asap.

We're so sorry for any frustration! K-9 Mail doesn't have a built in ability to print emails yet. While we don't have a date for when it will be added, we use feedback from reviews and connect.mozilla.org to help shape our roadmap and prioritize new feature development!

0 stars!! Used to be the best, now it's another crAPP sellout. It's nothing but a glorified clone of Thunderbird! Notification sounds no longer play, instead I only get silent notifications even though I DO NOT have DND or "Quiet Mode" turned on & no amount of troubleshooting works. Also I now have to expand the "Saved" folder for my AOL account EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I open K9 to view my sub folders when in previous versions, they were listed individually. UNINSTALLING!
