Yes, it is working for me.

In order to help you more information is required:
K9 version
Android version / device
IMAP / POP3
Mail provider
Pull / Push

The latest version is different depending on your device and many other factors. Only an actual version number is of any help here.

As you are using Android 10 maybe have a look at this:

Not sure if this thread is too old but still might have some valuable information.

oh it was set to every hour so it seemed not to work, I changed to every 15 minutes. Outlook and ProtonMail pick up new mail almost instantly.

Then you are using Pull (every 15 minutes now).
You can also switch to push, then you should get notifications more or less immediately.

BTW: I ckecked on my dummy GMail account I have added a few days back. Right, by default K9 seems to set it up with Poll every 1 hour. Any specific reason for it?

I guess battery usage. See also Change default poll frequency / push. Add choice to account setup · Issue #5768 · thunderbird/thunderbird-android · GitHub

Push (IMAP IDLE) comes with a lot of potential downsides. That’s why it’s not a great default.

it started with a default configuration of 1 hour pull. I would not have known to try “push”

thanks
