In my search for a good and functional email client on Android, one of the obvious choices is K-9. I installed it next to a couple of other options to test and compare. Functionality wise it is everything I am looking for. It checks all the boxes, while the competitors always leave something to be desired. When it comes to performance, however, K-9 is not quite what I would expect. Where other mail apps scroll very smoothly through the mails in the inbox, K-9 feels more choppy. It looks to have a frame rate that is a lot lower. It is not choppy to a level that the app becomes unusable, but it reminds me a lot of the performance of my old phone. While my current phone is not the most powerful device in the world, the Snapdragon 410 is a modern chip and should be more than capable to handle this workload with ease. The performance of the other mail apps confirms this. I have tried K-9 on different ROMs and with different settings, always with the same result.
Is something wrong or is this what K-9 does? Like I said, feature wise it is everything you would want, but having performance experience of a five years old phone makes is spoiling the experience quite a bit. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
