While I think it’s nice to see Thunderbird on more platforms, I’d love for them to rather concentrate on the Desktop, where getting a mail client to interact with Outlook is still unreasonably hard.
On Android I can install Window’s’s Outlook, on Linux I can’t.
I’m a long term K-9 Mail user on android, I installed the beta and didn’t really notice any difference. Wondering now if this means I’ll have to swap across
They’ve gone to great lengths to ensure the same codebase can continue producing K-9 Mail and Thunderbird builds so I don’t think there’s an immediate need to switch. If the time comes when K-9 Mail gets sunset, they already have proper support for migrating your configuration between the two so it should be relatively painless.

I switched from k9 to the thunderbird beta a month ago on Android. For the easiest config export/import at the time you had to be running the latest k9 beta, which I side-loaded. I switched yesterday from tbird beta to release and it imported the config directly from the app. I had to go through OAuth with Google, app tokens from other email providers came across. OpenPGP config didn’t but I can’t remember the last time I sent from my phone an encrypted or signed email, rather than just verifying a signature, so it may have been broken before that.

The lack of undo operations has really hampered my experience with this + K-9. Funny to realize how reliant I am on this seemingly small feature.
Otherwise, think they’ve done a great job and looking forward to future releases :)
You good dog.
