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/
