But with me it only ‘helps’ in K-9. In Chrome or something, there are no unwanted additions.
I am using a US keyboard, and US Android 8 phone. But still it misbehaves. The worst thing when using K-9, is it does this for email addresses. For example, [email protected] becomes [email protected]. So it’s not just for web addresses. But in gmail, there is no unwanted address augmentation. Ch.

My guess would be that there are more helpful keyboards out there. Kind regards, Gunter. Am 24. August 2019 17:08:39 MESZ schrieb Andy Figueroa <[email protected]>: I'm sure enough. I've set up K-9 dozens of times over the years and not experienced anything like this in it. Most of my accounts are not .com. -- Andy On August 24, 2019 10:26:25 AM EDT, Charles Buckley <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Andy, Thanks for the quick answer, but I’m not sure I believe it. The evidence to the contrary is: 1. When I set up gmail, I typed in lots of server names, and have been using gmail pretty regularly, entering addresses. No such changes happen. 2. Some of these changes are pretty email-specific, so I would suspect rather the mail program than the phone operating system. Let’s say that the unitary server for one of my mail accounts is ‘irgl.mrp.eu’ (I’ve changed the name, but it’s similar in form – notably there is no .com anywhere in sight). When I set up gmail, I could enter this server name unchanged. When I set up K-9, for the incoming server, the server name was changed to ‘imap.ergl.mrp.comeu’ and for the outgoing server, it was changed to ‘smtp.ergl.mrp.comeu’. Somehow I have a hard time believing that Android itself would be doing such a thing. With such community-developed software, sometimes not all those involved are ‘in the picture’ about what others are doing. I’ve cleaned out my share of ‘rogue commits’ in my day. So are you sure this is not a K-9 feature? If it is, it would be great to have it turn-offable.

K-9 does no such thing. -- Andy On August 24, 2019 5:52:38 AM EDT, Charles Buckley <[email protected]> wrote: It was suggested that I try K-9, which seems to address many shortcomings of Google mail. When I did, I noticed a really bizarre behavior -- when I'm entering an email address or a server name during setup, K-9 will change '.' to '.com' or do even more bizarre things with IMAP and SMTP server names. This may be considered a good thing for people in the US who all think the same way, but outside the US; the conventions are different, so it just leads to trashed email addresses and server names. Is there any way to turn this 'feature' off? I walked the menus and read the documentation, but didn't find anything.
