In the very beginning I formatted the SD card as "internal" storage. And
after a few days the SD card stopped working. And nearly all apps are
crashed.

I own the same phone and at one point in time me have told it to
format the SD card as internal storage. Maybe this could be an
alternative for you: as on android every phone vendor basically rolls
his own OS including the security concepts etc. it is surprisingly
hard for an app to determine what it will have access to.

This has devolved into whining. You didn't pay for K9. Stop
demanding feature changes. Most apps will no longer write to
external SD card storage because of changes in the Android API v7
and up.

In https://k9mail.github.io/documentation/storage.html I read:

So:
The mail-DB is also stored internal only for Android 7 and higher.
AND:
Yes, mail attachments now (with Android 7 and higher) also can
be stored internal only. In contrast to the possibility, that
still in the settings a directory in the external storage can
be defined ...
The same mess as with the mail-db ...
SO: k-9 has the same limitations concerning the storage as whatsapp....

This excerpt deals with a different topic!
It is about moving the K-9 program to SD.
I was writing about the disability of K-9 to store attachments on my
external SD.
Most of my other apps can store data on my external SD, only K-9
cannot, although it pretends to have this abilty!

Betreff: Re: [k-9-mail] Re: K9 doesn't write to sd card
So, please: the k-9 developers should solve this issue instead of
writing this inhttps://k9mail.github.io/documentation/storage.html :
"External storage however has to be considered potientially removable.
But large APKs can be stored on external storage by request. K-9 doesn’t
do this - our APK is not large and most users don’t want their e-mail
account being removed when they take out an SD card which has been
designated as external storage. ....... the number of devices with SD
cards is still quite small, the way they are detected by the API varies
heavily with each version of Android and the amount of normal storage is
normally considerable. ....Hence we don’t see strong demand and ability
for specifically supporting SD cards on versions where it is actually
possible without fragile code. ... This may change in the future, but is
dependent on developers having phones with SD card support to develop
against (as well as no higher priority issues)."
I doubt, that this will be done in the nearer future.
So, please: Write In the k-9 settings for "account / storage" something
like "external storage (SD card; NOT working for Android 7 and higher)"
((( is some developer reading this thread??? )))

I use Android 7.1.
All my other apps are able to write on my external SD card, except K-9!
So, if they can do, why can't K-9?

So: It would be useful to write In the k-9 settings for "account /
storage" something like
"external storage (SD card; NOT working for Android 7 and higher)"

For Android 7 and higher, K9 can't write to the external SD card. Not
K9's fault.

Well,
In the k-9 settings for "account" I can set the storage to
"external storage (SD card)"
BUT: Everything still is saved in the internal storage.
Several times I changed the settings from "external" to "internal"
and then back again. With no effect. Only the internal storage is
used.
This is my phone:
Motorola
Moto G (5)
HARDWARE
Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 430

INTERNAL STORAGE
16 GB
EXTERNAL SD CARD

Reading some text about "storage" in
https://k9mail.github.io/documentation.html ist seems, that it IS
the INTENTION of k-9 NOT to use an "external" storage (SD card) OK
... there might be some reasons for that. BUT: Then the
possibility in the settings to select an external storage for k-9
is misleading! the k-9 s
