Updated news here:
<https://blog.thunderbird.net/2023/03/thunderbird-for-android-k-9-mail-february-progress-report/>

I'm not sure why they keep using the expression "Thunderbird for android
K-9". From the very start the devs said that there would be no news
client included. So it's not like TB at all, only like many other
email-only clients.

My guess is marketing did a survey and people had "brand recognition" for
thunderbird but not so much for k-9.

I've seen that happen where a new company bought an old company and the new
marketing ran surveys of which of the old brands were already well
recognized. Then they named all the new products those old brand names.

Confusing as all hell if you knew the old brand names because the new brand
names referred to a different product technically but none of that mattered
to marketing.
