clear local messages on new UI

[Maler Meise]

Hello!

currently I am using the K-9 Mail beta on the new UI.

On the old UI I could just long-press any account that I want the local messages to be cleared to get some space back (if there's a lot of big messages in the archive folder e.g.).

How can I achieve to get old messages to be removed on the new UI so that I can just pull the inbox on regular basis and having the archive folder empty.

Would spare me a lot of space most the time.

Thanks!

The functionality to remove cached messages from the device was removed.
I don't think it's a great user experience having to manually remove
messages. I have plans to automatically remove cached messages in a way
so K-9 Mail is not using more storage than necessary, but users don't
have to constantly re-download messages they're interested in.

For now you could set 'Account settings > Fetching mail > Local folder
size' to a low value and then manually sync the folders that have a lot
of messages you don't need on the device. Afterwards change 'Local
folder size' back to the original value.
