From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just recently started using thunderbird to see how it would help managing múltiple Gmail accounts. Has anybody used the app version? Is it good? Bad?

K-9 is being used as the base for Thunderbird for Android but it isn't there yet. FairEmail is a lot closer in functionality at the moment.

I use Thunderbird for Gmail (among other accounts) and it has to regularly compress my Gmail box, which none of the Android clients do - in my experience, Aqua Mail, K-9 and FairEmail all struggle with a decent sized Gmail mailbox after a while.
