The question has been asked before, and generally the answer is that
nobody has any intention of doing that.

Programming-wise, I think there's a big gap to jump between Windows and Android.

Maybe K-9 to pure Java would be easier?

Another possible option might be to install the Android SDK for Windows (or some other Android emulater) then run K-9 under that.

Anyway, on PCs, I prefer full-function mail clients like Mozilla Thunderbird or Pegasus Mail. The convenient ability to attach a file to an email using drag-and-drop doesn't exist on phones and tablets!
