Even this interface has a bug: if I select a part of your message BEFORE 
clicking reply, it will quote the whole message; Gmail would quote only 
selected part. Google pretends to be smooth, intuitive, coherent and 
homogenous, but it is not: similar products do not behave the same.

After one night, it seems it's behaving as I want. For this part: THANK 
YOU. I have way less notifications now, but folders still seem sync.

Was I right in my definition of push ? or is it something else in K9 ? 

I can tel that class 1 is push, and class 2 is sync, but I Can not allow 
class 1 all the time (wifi + GSM), and limit class 2 to wifi.

What I did to limit GSM data usage is to ask tasker to remove the SYNC flag 
at Android level when I loose wifi. K9 will sync accordingly to the sync 
setting of android. When I catch wifi, Tasker sets sync, and will perform 
everything. When I loose wifi, Tasker removes sync, and this limits GSM 
abuse (I have found that Play may perform heavy updates over GSM data, even 
when the tick box is set to prevent it. Many other apps just don't care 
about GSM, but most care about the sync flag).

I would like K9 to be adult, and handle this by itself.

Some users may want even more complex things; and I feel like without the 
help of Tasker, it's just impossible. And we are not discussing about 
esthetisme of a GUI: this has heavy impact on data usage, and billing 
amount. I have a large data fair use: 3GB (I usually use below 800MB if I 
don't look at videos, or use Skype); but some people close to me only have 
50M: any mistake or bug in android can burn that fair use in seconds (4g 
can allow up to 6MB/s: you burn 50M in 9s ... An Android update can easily 
be 1.2G ).
