Notification of new messages and encryption

Hi there,

Using k-9 for a while here, but in this New xiaomi phone I can’t figure how tô ver notification of New messages each fixed amount of time.

The other thing is on the OpenKeyChain integration that no longer works here, but os perfect in the old version installed on my Motorola G4 plus.

Any help?

Best, Alexandre

Thanks!
