      They have been the same team for the past 2 years. I think they have done a pretty good job developing new features thoughtfully and improving the user experience. One thing I’m really enjoying about this release is that they have made it much faster to toggle between accounts.

      If they are confident adding their branding, then I take it as a show of confidence in their work.

    Ugh they didn’t keep the same oauth flow so I have to get IT to approve it again for Outlook

      I’m not sure, but that could be connected to the name change K9➡️Thunderbird. They have said that they will maintain parallel releases of both (identical except for the name/branding) for the immediate future. This release appears to be the identical but may (or may not) solve the issue.

        Yup, should be the same release, just using a different token and therefore needs approved separately

          Busy is fine. It is just really poorly laid out in a ton of ways.

          Despite that, still my manl mail client on phone.

        What do you mean? This is perfectly modern. Material UI and minimal, outline style icon theme. That’s all the rage with web devs nowadays. Amazing.

        (Not that there’s anything wrong with that in this case, that’s the Android style after all. But personally I heavily dislike Material UI.)

        I would say that this UI is ugly though. Spacing is all over the place, the icons don’t look cohesive at all apart from the colors used (for example, rounded vs sharp corners), the yellowed paper looking background color, overuse of bold/italic/colored text (especially multiple of those at the same time), inconsistent display of the same thing (in one screenshot the mailbox name is displayed as “Gmail”, in the other as “[Gmail]”). And so on.

        But that doesn’t mean it’s “outdated”, this would have been equally as bad 10 years ago.

        (I just have a knee jerk reaction to people saying “outdated UI” because usually it’s used as a justification to replacing perfectly well designed UI with a worse version just so that it follows contemporary design trends. Cf the Windows Settings app.)
