Well, with Apple, you have one company, one product. Apple support outside of their 'genius' bar is highly regarded. But they exert rigid control over iOS and hardware, so it's much easier. With Google/Android, you have Android + a bunch of different phone/tablet makers (who each customize and/or mangle Android to suit their individual goals) + a much larger plethora of 3rd party app makers. Asking Google to sort out problems that might be due to something Samsung or LG or the app maker tweaked is asking a lot. Just my opinion. I never encountered your problem with adding GMail to K-9, probably because I haven't logged into my Google account via the web in years. David W.
