As usual, it appears that no sync on Android S7 is a known bug and has 
appeared in the bug tracker for a long time.  It has NOT been resolved.  
Unfortunately, the K-9 people have not included this information in their 
FAQ.  Thanks K-9.

Please refer to https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/issues   ...this link is the 
bug list for K-9.  Please refer to bug 2618, which is a continuation of bug 
2357, which is a continuation of another earlier bug.  Same description, no 
sync with Android S7 with the latest K-9 version.

One or two people have checked into battery saving as the reason for 
no-sync. At best, it is a workaround for only a few people.  That means 
that K-9 is not able to wake up the phone to fetch mail, and that is a 
bug.  For most, disabling battery saving for K-9 does not work.  

I did find a screen of permissions in the K-9 program under 
Settings/Apps/K-9/Permissions.  Under "Additional Permissions" there are 4 
choices which are all truncated so you can't read what they are or what 
they do.  Personally I do NOT want K-9 to read and update my Contacts list 
or interact with the Play Store or my Calendar.  I can't even.  Sometimes, 
I can press one of these truncated permissions and a message comes up 
telling me that these permissions are for a previous version of K-9, or 
that K-9 needs to be updated.  Not too helpful.

So, summary is that the problem is known and has not been noted on the K-9 
FAQ.  Presently there does not seem to be a fix, or even a message saying 
that they are working on a fix.

Time to look for another email app, I guess.
