after some thought on this i guess im optimistic. Thunderbird always seemed to avoid the more hair-brained crap stuffed into Firefox to turn a profit like voice chat.

Thunderbird on the desktop is over 200mb these days, so it will be interesting to see if k9 can avoid turning into a chungus on my phone.

I’ve become so dejected over huge app sizes when I saw 200 mb for an email app, I thought “not bad”

Sorry to add salt to the wound, but I have to give honorable mention to the Slack APK. 50 MB for an IRC client. Just... WOW!

Pro-Tip: Enable desktop mode promptly after clicking the bookmark in your browser. If you're fast enough, you may not get the App-Nag-Screen© and have a short wait for the bloat to load. YMMV.
