Hi,
I have been using K-9 for a while, but am interested in the possibility of
a new, off-label use.
I would like to periodically copy my .mbox mailbox files from my laptop
onto my Android phone, and have K-9 be able to read/search emails from
those mailbox files.
This because I read my emails from my company's mail server using an email
client on my laptop, and when out of the office without my laptop but with
my Samsung Note 3, could read emails/ email history for a customer/contact.
One solution might be, "Just leave your emails on the server and let K-9
read those", I would not want to have to go through the process of keeping
both server and client (manually) in sync.
I am hopeful of a process like this:
- copy my .mbox files somewhere onto the Android where K-9 stores local
mailboxes already (have not been able to find this location).
- do some sort of setup in K-9 to spoof it into presenting these messages,
thinking they arrived from some server... ?
Suggestions are appreciated. Maybe there is a different type of tool that
can read/present individual messages from mailbox files, but I couldn't
find one searching Google Play. Thanks!
my solution:
- read mail from my gmail account on my PC, with, for the fetchmail mda, a
script which:
1/ calls alpine to read the mail
2/ transfers it to my gmx account
3/ delete it from the gmail server
- use k9-mail to read my gmx mails, and delete them from the gmx server.
that works perfectly
best regards,
