Hey Marc,
as most Android apps handling mail use javamail (at least I would, but I
don't know for sure if the android-api itself may offer some
"system-level" stuff wich is messed up) you can do so with a normal java
application run on your other clients. As more than one device shows an
issue one can say it mostly isn't something wrong with a device, and you
also tested different apps, so one can say it's not an app causing it -
but it worries that only the Android devices show issues.
Are you using TLS in any way on the server/s? If so: How did you set the
certificate up? Did you include the intermediate certificates in the
keystore? Otherwise, if you not use TLS, are you use a VPN?
There many reasons this could fail. A quick test would be using javamail
and write some lines to test if it's an issue with javamail. Also: does
james log show any errors?

Hi - I started poking at this issue a few months ago and didn't find a
solution so I thought I might ask again before I spend too much further
time trying to resolve this issue. I am running James 3.4 (a snapshot
version given to me to solve another problem) for my own SOHO nets and a
few friends. Nothing big and for the most part it works fine when using
it with email clients such as Thunderbird on Linux or Windows platforms.
But I have a couple Android devices, a phone and a tablet and I have
tried setting up a few different email clients on them all with no joy!
They all seem capable of sending emails out through the smtp service of
James, but I will be darned if I can get them to behave with imap. I
have tried K-9, BlueMail, GMail, and the Samsung E-Mail clients. I have
made the imap server connections pretty much identical to the settings I
use in Thunderbird and Apple Mail and don't believe for a second that I
am setting the Android apps up any different. So is there anything weird
about Android that I should be aware of? BlueMail just shows me a
spinning circle when I tell it to download my email from my server, K-9
does on rare occasion show me some emails but the moment I read one the
rest just disappear and I can't get it to load any more or re-display
the ones that it did manage to download for a short time. I also know
something is partially working because all the folders and sub-folders I
have defined in my mail accounts do show up. So I am puzzled, and asking
because it seems James is the common denominator, any ideas?
Thanks in advance... Marc...
