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

K9 is Thunderbird. You'll be switching if you like it or not. If you want, write a bug report on the visibility issue.

K9 is Thunderbird

Seems you didn't even read my comment - but no, at least for the moment K-9 is not Thunderbird..

K9 has been Thunderbird for quite a while now. The name hasn't changed yet officially, but the team has been incorporated a good while ago.

Not sure why people are downvoting you, you're right.

Here's the announcement from over 2 years ago.

They are the same. It is the same app. They have announced that they will keep both K9 and Thunderbird in parallel, but the underlying program is the same - it will be only a cosmetic difference. This has to do with app IDs and user preferences, etc.

Here is the K9 Beta that is the same version as the new Thunderbird (beta) app. You are just switching from the beta back to the release.
