Account blocked: Email Provider authentication failure / 5.800

The problem seems to be that the server doesn’t support the IDLE extension, so Push doesn’t work. Unfortunately, the code is not doing the right thing in that case and K-9 Mail ends up sending a command to the server over and over again.

You can get rid of the problem by manually disabling Push for that account. See How to configure Push?

K-9 Mail 5.802 will automatically disable Push for an account when it detects that the server doesn’t support Push.
