I'm not a k-9 developer, so I can't speak on their behalf .. but, I am a 
developer and I can tell you that a mailing list like this is not the 
place to try and get the attention of a developer.


You need to go here ..

https://github.com/k9mail/k-9

More specifically, you need to go here ..

https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/issues

If you do a search for sync (or sync disabled) you'll see a lot of open 
issues for the problem.


Unfortunately, most of them are marked as duplicates of existing reports 
and, ultimately, this seems to be the open issue ..


https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/issues/857

And it's been open for a while.

And nobody is going to thank you if you open another duplicate issue. So 
don't do that.

Yes, I'm running Android v7 and yes, battery optimization is off for K-9. 
And as many others have stated (search the web for this issue) turning off 
battery optimization doesn't help. So since I have had other email clients 
work on this device, but not K-9, I have to say that it -is- a K-9 issue. 
Or perhaps, a K-9 issue in conjunction with Android 7. But it is definitely 
not entirely the fault of the OS.

If you're running Android 7.x, have you taken battery optimization off of 
K9?  If not, that's your problem.  Battery optimization can mess with the 
polling of K9.  Go to Settings, Battery, (three dot menu) Battery

 I'm starting to think it's due to "you get what you pay for."

Yes, I've been happily using K-9 for all these years. Free and with no ads. 
That's hard to beat. But when a number of people are complaining about the 
same issue (this isn't the only thread about this issue) and the developers 
aren't responding, it implies they don't care. I can't keep pulling my 
phone from my pocket to do a manual sync to check for new mail. That's what 
K-9 used to do. And is supposed to do.

Last night I started exploring mail clients and after trying three, I 
settled on AquaMail. Trial version limited to two accounts and unlimited in 
the paid (5.00 USD) version. After experimenting for about four hours, I 
bought it. No more "syncing disabled" issues.

I'll keep on eye on this thread to see what develops, but I don't have too 
much hope.

2017-08-04 Thread Bill Martin
I have been having exactly this same problem with my Galaxy S6 since the 
release in December. It is extremely annoying and makes K-9 Mail useless except 
as an email archive. Apparently it does not affect all mobile phones but is 
particularly pernicious for Samsung Galaxy phones. I have two other friends 
whose Galaxy phones experience the same critical deficiency. 

Given the importance of email these days, how can any email app allow this 
situation to continue for so many months? Why is no one from the development 
side replying to this situation? It is clearly not something that the app user 
can do anything about.

I've been using K-9 for many a year on various Motorola Droid phones and 
never experienced this problem. About two weeks ago I got a Samsung Galaxy 
S8 and I'm seeing the same as the others here. The S8 is running Android v7 
and I'm using K-9 Mail v5.207. And yes, my settings are correct. I have 
five email accounts in K-9 - three are push and two are pull. But the only 
way I can receive mail is to do a manual sync. I did have it working for a 
couple of hours one day by deleting the two pull accounts and then 
restoring them. Polling was taking place every five minutes, but after a 
few hours, the dreaded "syncing is disabled' message showed up.

Exactly,  Sync is set up correctly in the settings, but it breaks after the 
first or second sync.

Hopefully some devs can chime in here.  Is there a a way to get a debug log 
to see what's going on and why sync randomly stops working?  This is really 
a huge showstopper that K9 will randomly just stop downloading new mail. 
 I've missed getting notified on some incredibly important emails.  It's 
becoming a pain to manually sync K9 and see if I have anything new.

Yes, this is the same problem.  The K-9 FAQ lists the subject: Why is "Sync 
Diabled" always showing?  The answer is that the global settings for sync 
are not set correctly.  Well, mine and other users DO have it set to "Sync 
Always" and it still does not fetch.  Can someone shed some light on this 
difficulty?  I'm assuming that the sync setting is the critical part, but 
other parts of the K-9 FAQ talk about K-9 permissions being dependent upon 
other global permissions.  There are no permission settings that I can find 
in the K-9 settings menus.  Where do we go from here?

Thank you,

I'm having the same problem.

My Network Setting in K-9 Is set to Background Sync: Always.

I also have periodic polling turned on to make sure I get messages that 
IDLE/PUSH may have missed or if it lost connection.

After the first poll. K-9 goes back to Sync Disabled.

I've tried just about every option I can think of and sync keeps getting 
turned off and I'm missing email notifications!
