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!

Professional design, aliases supported, missing signature formatting though I was looking for an Android alternative to Outlook as it does not support email aliases. So grateful that K-9 Mail does. I was worried about the design and functionalities, but these are well carried out. One star less though for the missing signature formatting. I'd need to format the text and add an image for business emails. Hoping for that feature to be added soon! 🙏
