The android version is just rebranded K-9 Mail, which was a fork of the built in Android mail client from Android 1.0. So there isn’t a lot common in desktop and android Thunderbird, it’s not a port.
Desktop Thunderbird uses Firefox ESR under the hood, I guess the Mac version is not ported to ios because Apple’s limitation on browser engines.
So Thunderbird requires a browser engine? I didn’t think an email program was dependent upon a browser. I would expect one that was to be inefficient. Like a lot of people I work with use Outlook inside of Microsoft Edge. And I just look at them like they’re crazy. Our workstations are powerful enough that there’s not much difference, but why would you do that to yourself? (No, I’m not going to ask them. I don’t want to hear their reasons. And it’s not really hurting anything.)

Not just… K-9 and Thunderbird worked together, so that K-9 godt features from Thunderbird and the other way round. True cooperation there.
Yeah, I follow its development, I wanted to emphasize it’s not desktop Thunderbird ported to Android, but coming from a different source.
They’re working on a version for iOS: https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-ios
I vaguely remember K-9 Mail.
