    Well - in fact, this *is* K-9 Mail with some changes in the UI.

    I thought they were going to simply rename the app from K-9 Mail to
    Android, but they made a "new" app instead. Maybe because this way K-9
    can still go its own way?

    They can't change the app ID - it would still be com.fsck.k9 while the new
    TB app is net.thunderbird.android.beta. They also can't change the signing key, and they probably want to sign it with Mozilla or TB's key rather than
    the prior K-9 developer's.
