I’m not sure if I understood well, but… K-9 was first, then they copied code to Mozilla and made Thunderbird.

Correct. K-9 came: 27 October 2008; 16 years ago.
From wiki:
The source code was first published to its git repository on October 27, 2008 by Jesse Vincent and the first binaries were released to the public on the Google Code site the same month.
In 2015 the project received $86,000 of funding from the Open Technology Fund.
On 13 June 2022, it was announced that K-9 Mail had been taken over by MZLA Technologies Corporation, a subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation with current maintainer Christian Ketterer joining the team, and plans for K-9 Mail to be rebranded as Thunderbird for Android following the completion of a feature roadmap, including sync with Thunderbird on PC, integrating Thunderbird’s automated account setup system, message filtering, and improvements to folders.

There is updated version 13.0 btw. Font size configuration works while on Thunderbird does not in stable nor in beta.
Again - they’ve said couple of times the apps are identical, while they ARE NOT.
