Fetch Messages Up To... doesn't work

[tao101]

Is the Fetch Messages Up To… feature supposed to work with IMAP accounts? I would think so, given my previous comments here

Possible missing features?

I am currently using a rental Android 13 Motorola phone while parts for my regular Sony XA2 arrive from China. I was surprised that the Motorola didn’t include an email client besides GMail, so went looking and eventually settled on K-9. It was a no-brainer really because Sony’s stock email client (at the time) was apparently a fork of K-9! Comparing the two, the modern K-9 is a superset over Sony’s creation in nearly every way. Nearly. My needs are quite meager compared to some posters, but we…

comparing Sony’s K-9 fork from 2018 to the current K-9. But it doesn’t seem to work at all. I would have posted this much sooner, except for another difference, the inability to see the email size at-a-glance.

I finally did some checks this morning. One 156K email of mostly text was pulled in completely when Fetch Messages Up To… was set to 4K. There was still a useless Download Complete Message button at the bottom. A 43K email from EBay also did the same. This is happening on the same Android 13 phone, and with Earthlink as my email provider. But I also use a local ISP for IMAP email with the same settings and get the same results. This ISP appears to be using Postfix.

Comments? Would a log file help?
