The Thunderbird for Android beta is out and we’re asking our community to help us test it. Beta testing helps us find critical bugs and rough edges that we can polish in the next few weeks. The more people who test the beta and ensure everything in the testing checklist works correctly, the better!

Anyone can be a beta tester! Whether you’re an experienced beta tester or you’ve never tested a beta image before, we want to make it easy for you. We are grateful for your time and energy, so we aim to make testing quick, efficient, and hopefully fun!!

The release plan is as follows, and we hope to stick to this timeline unless we encounter any major hurdles:

  • September 30 – First beta for Thunderbird for Android
  • Third week of October – first release candidate
  • Fourth week of October – Thunderbird for Android release

If this is just a rebranding; why does there need to be beta test?

The main thing they want testing for is the migration tool from a k-9 app installed and configured already on the device, which would be net new code.
