Seth, I'm glad I'm not the only one. Yes... on a more serious note, I think, in my experience, K9 does a reasonable job of configuring accounts, as, it tests whatever was entered, and, if that fails, user can re-enter values. unless you can progress pass that point, it won;'t work if you have uid and pw correct, then it's either 'no security' and you should be on the way; if you have secure server, you might have to accept certificate perhaps there is some bug, THOUGH, I suspect it's more to do with 'if available' option having been removed (as has already been posted in details) some of the users here appear to think that saying "it's broken" will get developers to figure out what is it they suffer from, and, 'fix it' and, users with problems should go their their mail service providers and ask them, if they don't know, what does mail service provider offer/require for sending/receiving mail pop/imap none/ssltls/startssl 143/993 smtp none/ssltls/startssl/ 25/465/587 a brief search came up with https://www.fastmail.fm/help/technical/ssltlsstarttls.html which seems a reasonable info (though I haven't read it yet...) I think anyone that has problems should in 1st instance produce full client setting, it can exported, relevant sections copied out of export file like so, and, also, look at their provider's web for what's required/what's provided: <incoming-server type="IMAP"> <host>my.mail.host</host> <port>143</port> <connection-security>STARTTLS_REQUIRED</connection-security> <authentication-type>PLAIN</authentication-type> <username>[email protected]</username> <extra> <value key="autoDetectNamespace">true</value> </extra> </incoming-server> <outgoing-server type="SMTP"> <host>my.mail.host</host> <port>587</port> <connection-security>STARTTLS_REQUIRED</connection-security> <authentication-type>AUTOMATIC</authentication-type> <username>[email protected]</username> </outgoing-server> /corrections welcomed/ -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
