I have used mail clients for years. The difference in what I used was harder to think than the basic things that I showed here. It shouldn't be hard to associate them with K9's actual "names" for these options, or (at least) to pointa common mistake in these difference. If K9 makes something different it should be corrected! Not depending on people to say them by only looking at them. That is a very strange expected action from users, in my opinion. The options I pointed here were made to be easily used with ALL email clients that exist. Why they cannot be used easily and clearly with K9? I can used them with all clients I have used: Thunderbird, Seamonkey, Evolution, Outlook, Pegasus, Mutt, Squirrelmail. > I would hope that a ms client would work -- hotmail is their service. It also worked for a mail account that is not theirs. And to configure it I used the same ideas I tried with K9 (but without success). > > Date: Monday, February 08, 2016 12:46:27 -0300 > > From: Balaco Baco <[email protected]> > > > > Me and my friend gave up K9.
