Cache problems question

Hello,

While checking apps on my phone I noticed the cache for this app is 6.25g.

Even after clearing the cache it instantly goes back.

Why is this happening ?

How can I clear the cache ?

Look at this thread, it also contains a message from K-9 maintainer - but unfortunately no solution:

Do you use IMAP? Then maybe clearing filders locally might help assuming that you still have all relevant mails stored on mail server
