K9 Mail App

[sare99]

Hi there

I have this app installed and I love it but is there any way to disable the LED notification altogether so I just rely upon the status bar notifications to show me I have new mail ? My inboxes are pretty busy at the moment so my LED is flashing green the vast majority of the time and I'm a bit concerned that this could be a battery drain.

If you long press on the account and then select "Account Settings" -> then "Notifications" it's right there "Blink LED

Where do you see that please Steven as I have no such animal?

There is nothing relevant in the global settings either.
The version of K9 I am using is 2.913-105 as downloaded from the market a couple of days ago.

You must be on Inbox of your account.

Select;

Menu>Accounts

You will see the accounts you have setup

"Long press the account you want to change" and select and Account Settings. You will see "Notifications" in the list.

Yes that's what I have done Rojhan and after pressing

Menu>Accounts

I see:-

Integrated Inbox
All Messages
Account A I have set up
Account B I have set up

Long pressing on either account does bring up Account Settings and I do, indeed, see "Notifications" in the list but there is no "Blink LED" option.

My "Notifications" options start with
New mail notifications

and end with
Notification opens unread messages

as shown in the list already posted above (which I have edited to add the section headings to make it easier to read) so I am guessing it has to be something to do with the version I am using. Which version are you guys running on your phones please?

 

[Rojhan]

I am on K-9 Mail Version 3.206

In Notifications I have;
"Blink LED when mail arrives"

Its the 7th option from top.

That's the answer then. Mine is 2.913 so an older version but that's the one available through the market so I'm a little pissed off especially since I paid for it. Grrrrr......

I just went back to check the application blurb and it says amongst other things....

This e-mail client IS DESIGNED for "Pure messenger widget" from Francois DESLANDES.

Merge with K9 official version is work in progress.

....so maybe it will update/merge in the future and I'll get an option to turn my goddamned LED off but for now it looks like I'll have to live with it.

Thanks for your input and your patience though guys.
