Thank you so much Dan! I had to replace my phone and even though I got the same model, K9 was not syncing every hour as I had set-up - "Syncing Disabled" message at the top. As soon as I completed the last step in your list - Optimize uncheck - K9 started syncing and now tells me how many minutes until the next poll. I don't remember having this issue when I installed it years ago on my first Galaxy S7, but I'm so happy it is functioning correctly now!
