Subject: [k-9-mail] gmail vs k-9 clients
So, I've noticed a few folks use K-9 for their gMail accounts as
well as others. I have a mail server I manage for myself for which
I use K-9. But I also have a gMail account and for that I use the
native gMail client.
Primary features I need are similar. But I'm curious as to why
people prefer the K-9 client to access their gMail account over
the native gMail application.
Thanks.

I do it in part for convenience -- I have all my mail accounts,
regardless of server location, set up in one app. I also like the
control and flexibility that K-9 gives, even over gmail accounts.
E.g., with the gmail client I don't believe that you can control
whether deleting a message on the client will delete it on the
server or not. Lastly, I refuse to send messages with html parts
(don't get me started on html signatures with logos), and I don't
believe you can control that with a native gmail client -- it sends
(resource wasting) text/html multi-part messages automatically.
Excellent points. I hadn't really thought of the HTML portion of the
e-mails being sent. Although I'm not certain that *not* sending it
through the gMail client will actually prevent gMail from adding them.
I did find that you have to make certain that gmail doesn't
"auto-folderize" your mail. If you let it do that (I believe in
conjunction with their "inbox" app) new mail won't be in your gmail
inbox so K-9 won't be able find it.
Yeah, I disabled Inbox. It was nearly forced on me at work but it's
worse for work e-mail than for personal.
Thanks for the feedback.
