K9 8.0 only fetches mail for the inbox only. I have to go to each folder separately then manually refresh it in order to get new mail. The old version used to fetch mail for ALL folders. I do have my accounts set to all folders & all messages as well as no limit for message size, etc.
While in the account, tap the ||| menu, then manage folders.
Select one of the folders you want this behavior on.
Set Enable Sync and set Enable Push
Another folder to update? Go back. Repeat.
Thanks! That works, but enable push creates a permanent notification which I don’t want. As long as it fetches mail for the folders I want without enabling push, I’m going to just enable sync & notifications for them for now.
I have all Android K-9 notifications set to Off, so I may not be normal. I wonder if you diable the Miscellaneous (whatever that is) Android/K-9 notifications if that removes the Push notification.
I have a notification catcher (since orphaned as the dev left the Play Store) that catches mine for the push notifcation and deletes it.
One used to be able to configure intervals for sync. I think that was removed with the Thunderbird code merge.
Tap on the notification, it’ll take you to the Notification settings for it. There select “Minimize”, that way the notification won’t show in the statusbar but only at the bottom of your notification area.
I was able to disable the permanent notification by turning off the “synchronize push” option on my phone’s notification settings for K9.
Just disable the notification for push
Hello OldieAB,
I got a similar issue on my mobile: I see in my shared inbox that there is an incoming email, but it doesn´t come in the inbox correctly, so it´s not shown.
I just see the numbers of incoming emails, e.g.3. that´s it. when I refresh my inbox, nothing happens.
After reading the emails in thunderbird directly on my computer, these mails be shown as read in the mail-programm K-9 Mail on the mobile.
Do you have any idea how it could be fixed? Would be great!
Thank you in advance,
best regards,
Derya
What version of K-9 are you using?
I’m not clear on the problem. On your phone, you see an indication that new mail has arrived (where do you see this?). Your inbox doesn’t show the new messages.
You refresh your inbox, still doesn’t show.
You read the messages elsewhere, then refresh, and the count goes down?
Walk through some steps of what you are doing on K-9, what you expect and what you actually see.
Hi OldieAB,
thank you for your answer, and apologiez my late response:
I got a 8.0 K-9 version. guess it´s older? it´s a german version, I suppose?
I use a xiaomi 12x. Androidversion 13 TKQ1.221114.001.
When I refresh the messages in K-9 on my cell phone, I only see the number of new mails in the start bar/menue on the left. I don’t see them on the right as incoming messages, i.e. I can’t read any new messages. Guess, you call that inbox.
If I go into thunderbird on my laptop, I can also download and read these messages, as everything happens as I´m used to.
Only after I have updated or read these messages in thunderbird, they appear as read mails under the read mails when I update them again on my cell phone (in K-9), and I can open and read them again.
I hope I was able to describe the problem a little better.
Thank you very much if you could help me. Maybe it’s just a bug of the last update, before that (maybe 1-2 months ago) it worked normally.
I’m not sure what’s going on for your situation.
If you tap a circle on the left for one of your accounts that has a new messages mark, the folder view shoudl change to the folders of that account.
You should be able to scroll that up and down in case you have more folders than fits on the screen.
The count of the folders should match the count seen on the account circle.
If you open the folder that has a new message, it should show there. But you are saying it doesn’t show until you read it on another machine with Thunderbird?
Hi OldieAB,
sorry, I cannot explain the issue in a better way in english without any screenshots.
thank you for your help so far,
best,
Derya
