My phone (Android 7 HTC M9) is dying from a bad battery.  I have K9 Mail 
version 5.206 installed on it and it worked well.  I have set it up with 
three accounts (one pop and two gmails).  While I am waiting for the phone 
to be diagnosed and deciding to whether repair or replace I dug up my old 
old phone which is a HTC S1 and installed what I needed on it to get me by 
the next few weeks.  On the old old phone I installed K9 Mail version 5.402.

First thing I tried was to export the K9 settings from my broken phone 
(version 5.206).  It created a file com.fsck.k9\settings.k9s.

I then installed K9 Mail version 5.402 on my old phone.  I moved the 
settings.k9s to the com.fsck.k9\settings.k9s on the old phone.  Launched K9 
mail.  It did not see the settings.

OK then I went into Settings and there was an option to import and export 
settings.  I selected import settings.  It gave me options to select Music, 
Pictures, Gallery, Drop Box...there is no option to actually Browse or 
select a file which I have previously exported?  So that didn't work.

I then decided to randomly changed a few settings.  Exited the app and came 
back.  Then I did an Export Settings and see where the file goes.  It 
created a file com.fsck.k9\k9_settings_export_2018-01-05.k9s.  OK, how do I 
SELECT this file so I can import it?

I decided the import is not working.  So I need to manually create the 
account settings then tweak everything later.

I added one account which is my POP3 account.  Configured that and tested 
that it's working sending and receiving.

I then need to add a second account.  Only there appears to be no way to do 
that?  I then Googled the topic, and it says to add a new account "For any 
additional accounts they can be added by going to the accounts menu, and 
then tapping the ‘Add account’ option in the overflow menu."  Only I don't 
see the Add account option, nor do I see an overflow menu.

Once the single account has been added, it appears the top level menu has 
disappeared.  I am no longer able to even go back to the menu with the 
Import/Export settings option.  When I launch the app, the inbox or folder 
list of inbox/outbox/send...appears.  Then isn't a higher level menu that I 
can see that was available in the older version that I ran on the broken 
phone.

I then went through all the Global settings, Account settings just to make 
sure there isn't any options to turn on or off certain folders and 
displays.  I then changed Show Folders to every combination there is to see 
if it makes any difference, even though I have no idea what 1st class, 2nd 
class folders are, I turned everything on just to see.  I don't even see an 
option for an About menu.  If I use the back button of the phone it exits 
the app entirely.


So, there is no way to set up multiple account or reach a higher level menu 
in 5.402?  And no ability to import a settings file that was exported from 
an older version of K9 Mail?
