I've got a spare rooted Hudl that does have the Play Store, so I was able to install and then copy 'com.fsck.k9-1.apk' from that. As tested, the Play Store version of K-9 Mail also connects, in the same way, to 157.240.1.35:0 (rDNS: edge-star-mini-shv-01-lht6.facebook.com:0).
To be clear, on my main tablet, I installed K-9 Mail using the F-Droid app. Conceptually, that is much like using a package manager with a Linux distro. The F-Droid app handles the download from the F-Droid repository. No external link involved. Mathguy has provided a couple of red herrings. The F-Droid repository has v5.6 of K-9 Mail. I haven't ever used K-9 Material, largely because it is incompatible with my setup (Jelly Bean). On Friday, 12 April 2019 20:42:35 UTC+1, David W.
