Hi, The only thing you could do is utilize the 'encrypt phone' option in android. This would encrypt the file that your passwords are stored in. However, it isn't really a solution as encrypting your whole phone brings major performance disadvantages and also, if the phone is currently on and after you have already entered your password, anyone with your phone in their hands will have access to this file. k-9 mail simply needs to protect user passwords rather than storing them in plain text as it does now.
