k-9,

can you confirm that any version within the last 2 years (since i've
used it) does not honor secure tls server cipher preferences ?

as far as i can tell the k-9 client does not respect the server cipher
ordering prefs

this is to my knowledge definitely the case, since any android later
than 2.2 preferentially uses half-baked ciphers such as RC4-MD5

it is of utmost importance (not just for me) that k-9 over-ride the
default cipher preferences of android and java which are insecure and
questionable as to their implementation

see for example http://op-co.de/blog/posts/android_ssl_downgrade/ for a
brief overview and method to code k-9 in a more secure manner

will k-9 re-code its cipher preferences and/or choose a list of its own
secure defaults ?

this issue is fundamentally much more important than any usability,
folder location, RAM lagging, slow running feature request.
