How long should it have taken?

I originally thought it was gonna take about a few months.

Now that I think about it, it's probably better that it took longer, because bugs.

I see. Yeah, I guess I just figured it would take ages because Thunderbird isn't that big a team and K9 was like one person (apart from community contributions).

They are doing their best, and I at least appreciate that.

Exactly as long as that one guy wanted, obviously!
