I remember using K-9 when I got my first (or second?) Android phone. I don’t remember the exact version, but it was probably pre-ICS. I do remember that I liked it a lot.

Fast forward to a couple of years ago, I tried the app again and was disappointed at how it looked basically identical to the last time I tried it. Seeing that, I just assumed it became abandonware.

Does this fund raiser mean I was wrong, and the app was always under development, or that it was recently revived?

The release version is from 2018 but I just found out about the beta version in this thread, which looks more modern, not sure how modern though, just about every app I use looks different, so I'm not sure what today's standards are. I've been using it for at least 5 years without much issue.
Half of HN complains every time a UI is updated; the other half complains when a UI hasn’t been updated.
Try the beta. It was a new UI.
