That this is only happening with one specific device that is using K-9 would seem to imply that there is something with that device's networking that may be the underlying issue, perhaps an issue specific to the Samsung [tablet] Android release.
What is the specific "Android 5" release -- look at the "about device" selection under "settings" -- there are a range of "Android 5" point releases on Samsung devices. Don, you also indicate you are using an Samsung tablet -- what specific Android release does it have. The K-9 5.007 version was released on Nov 28 2015, so if you have it auto-updated, that release would likely have been installed within a couple of days after that. > Date: Saturday, January 23, 2016 13:01:54 -0800 > From: [email protected] > > Richard, > > Thanks for your reply.
