Me and my friend gave up K9. And since this mailing list was not as helpful as we needed, even when I said which settings I used for K9. Although some replies were very kind, I thank you - but unfortunately it did not solve all problems, and for several days. We installed the Microsoft client, that is also a mail manager for other IMAP accounts. The first time we tried it it completely worked.
