Richard, Thanks for your reply. As I mentioned in my original post, I am using the latest K-9 version (5.007), Android version 5, and POP3 on both my tablet and my phone. My email providers are Comcast, GoDaddy, and Gmail.
This setup has worked for years without any problems. As you say, it may be something other than K-9 causing the problem, but I am now using MailDroid and it doesn't have any problems with the same setup. One thing I do know is that the other night I was only accessing my mail using the tablet (my phone and computer were turned off) and I still experienced the problem. I do not know when my K-9 was last updated, it is down automatically for me. Is there a way to tell when it was last updated?
