Hi
I've installed K9 on my SG2, and it seems to be working OK. However, the message bar in my Inbox tells me that syncing is disabled.
What does this mean? How do I switch it so that syncing is enabled and/or how do I get rid of this message?
Thanks
You need to go to settings>accounys and sync>tick the first 2 options
You probably created the account over wifi.
Delete the account and recreate it with wifi off, i.e. use 3G/4G.
I was getting the same problem, and doing this fixed it.
Thanks!
That seems to have fixed it. I'd never have thought of doing that. I keep having problems with K9; this is it's last go before I ditch it for good.
One more thing though! Is K9 'push' mail (in the same way that the stock email app seems to be)?
In other words - how do I set up K9 mail so that I get email delivered as soon as it's sent? At the moment, I seem to have to click on 'check mail'.
Thanks for any further help.
hello i have a solution for k-9 mail it work for me in my htc desire phone
you need to go in setings - account settings--fetching mail - and choose time frequency in folder pool frequency
that is all
i hope that will work
Thanks - this is an answer to receiving email? EDIT - So, I can set it to check every minute. Is there any way to set it up as 'push'? I'm using a POP3 account.
However, I still have the SMTP is 0 length. Any ideas, anyone?
EDIT - this means I'm able to receive email but not send.
The stock email app works fine btw!!
POP mail does NOT push, only IMAP that honors the IDLE command.
Regarding your other problems with K9, I would uninstall the app (clearing data first) and then reinstall and set it up, allowing K9 to automatically configure.
Press Menu, more, settings, global settings, network and change background sync to alwaysI have the same problem on my galaxy s11 have tried all of the suggestions syncing is still disabled
Any more ideas?
I did everything in the instructions, went well only thing is friendcaster is NOT sending my notifications any help?????First of all, if your syncing is disabled it means that you will not receive any new email unless you manually check your account.

Excellent reply. Simple and works. ThanksPress Menu, more, settings, global settings, network and change background sync to always
I did all the above and it still said "syncing disabled" at the top menu bar. But then I thought, why not power off completely and then back on... sometimes that is necessary to reset things. I did and it finally worked, now it says at the top "Next poll @..." (time). So, power down and back on is the final step to activate the polling schedule.
