I had the same problem. also Android / Samsung. First thing make sure you have the K-9 mail and the OpenKeychain for crypto (no doubt you already have that)
Then you want to read this: 1) https://www.lifewire.com/what-are-the-gmail-pop3-settings-1170853 Check out all the steps Then read this as well (carefully look at all steps): 2) https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-access-a-gmail-account-with-any-email-client-via-pop-4103715 Finally, review this: 3) https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7104828 After you've changed those settings (in gmail webmail settings as well as any in the K-9 app) it should work. I say "should" because when I made the changes it still took a few tries at authenticating and syncing for the incoming before it actually did work, but it did. Then I had to fiddle with settings to get it to download the most recents first instead of it downloading the oldest possible emails... another task, but at least at that point it was working. Hope this helps. On Tuesday, May 30, 2017 at 3:00:13 PM UTC-7, [email protected] wrote: > > Just to add - this is on Android 5.1.1.
