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 not Thunderbird. There is a critical difference.
K9 is a private respecting app which contains no malicious user tracking telemetry, this app does.

Bit of a, bit of b. It is not yet. But the final version of Thunderbird will replace K9. So if you're not happy with the beta, write an issue in their bug tracker.
No that will not work, users already opened an issue and asked to remove the spyware and Mozilla closed it:
https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/8199
Mozilla has gone full evil already, they took the only full featured, completely privacy respecting email app on the platform and killed it and they did it sneakily as well just like they did with PPA on firefox.
Luckily K9 in its existing version is fully functional. Users who care about privacy can continue to use K9.
An old version or a fork though
Yes that is what we are left with.
Mozilla bought k9 and killed it, sad day for users.
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.
