hi Pablo

Don't follow your last paragraph - why would James log an email sent to gmail 
from an android device?

Anyway what you reported semi-confirms my suspicions that it's K9 rather than 
james to (mostly) blame. I messed around trying to get K9 to play nice with an 
mail exchanger running dovecot & exim4 and gave up. Can't remember the details 
as this was some time ago, but I think I concluded that K9 was rather over 
opinionated about the settings it should use and lacked config options that it 
really ought to have.

I'm not familiar with thunderbird, but I imagine that like sylpheed (for 
instance) you can configure settings for ports and SSL/TLS? So if you make that 
play with your gmail account (as does your K9) that might help you understand 
what settings your james server needs to play nicely with K9.

My solution to this problem was to add a small screen interface to my (server 
side) webmail frontend :-)
