K9 on Marshmallow not listed under Sync - Add Account

[John Davies]

I have upgraded to an LG G5 on Android 6 after years of contented use with K-9 on other phones.

I installed K-9, entered all the settings but see "syncing disabled"

I got to Sync in settings and then "add account" but K-9 is not listed.

How do I add K-9 to the list of accounts?

In K9 synching disabled means there is no network connection or the account details are wrong.

It is not related to any of Android's account system. K9 email accounts are totally separate to the Accounts you see in the Settings screen.

Thanks for your speedy reply.

My network and account settings are fine as I can send and receive emails.

I seem unable to switch on auto sync.

Cheers John.

Google searching suggests this seems to be common issue with Marshmallow 6.0.1.

Manual sending and receiving is fine, but no auto-polling every, say, 15 min.

Android's own email client works as expected, but then it is listed under Accounts for auto-syncing in the Android settings. There's permission somewhere for K-9 I can't find.

It's the same on an HTC 10 with Android 6.0.1 whatever google changed has messed with this working. It doesn't sound like there's going to be a fix for this. All current advice just leaves to further battery drain and email coming in every 15 minutes as opposed to when they arrive.

My Droid Turbo updated to 6.0.1 a while back and I've been having the same issue ever since.

Is K-9 a dead project?
