Ports 80 and 443 are http/s, not mail. Mail-related ports are
110/995 - pop3/s, 143/993 - imap/s for retrieval and 465/587 (and
potentially 25) for sending. 

That said, if you open a message and load the graphics you'll be
directed to some http/s server, with the request coming, I assume,
from K-9.

I just checked my DNS server logs going back a month, (this is the
server that my mobile devices use when not being "mobile"), and find
no suspicious lookups for either sendgrid.net or secureserver.net.
There may be something odd going on, but I'm not seeing it.
