I've been trying to migrate all the apps from a 5X to an G7.
I'm using the phone-phone BT route, and have tried the "from Google
backup" as well.
Thus far, K9 is one of several that refuses to do so.
Any ideas why that is? Fi support has not been any help.
If I can't get it to work, is there any way to grab the configuration
file[s] from the 5X and manually place them on the G7?

k-9 has an export/import mechanism for settings, so it should be easy.

sorry, that email got away a bit too quick.
Meant to say: it /is/ easy, I've done it countless times.
If it's not working for you, give more detail, please.

Where do I find docs on this feature?

I'm looking at <https://k9mail.github.io/documentation.html> with no joy so far,

It's too simple to need any, perhaps?
In the recently revamped testing build, it's Settings - Export/Import.
I can't remember exactly where it was in the older builds, but it was
fairly obvious.
You can choose whether to export just the core settings, or account
settings too. I choose everything.
Account passwords are not included in the export, so need to be
re-entered after import.
Export to e.g. Google Drive. Then import from Google Drive on new phone.
Or export to a local file, and copy that however you wish to the new phone.
It works well, I've done it many times, for the whole family every time
they get a new phone.
cheers,
calum.

you find the description for the import and export in the documentation pages.
see
It's really easy. Export it move the file to the new phone.
Install K9 there and then import the settings.
You just need to reenter the passwords for your accounts.
best
