Default K9 mail - syncing disabled

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 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.

Actually - this has only partially solved the problem.

If I try to send via 3G (with wi-fi disabled) then I can't send mail - and get a message saying SMTP response is 0 length.

Any ideas?

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.

Thanks - however, I did let K9 auto configure and it got it wrong. I had to correct it manually and have never got past this smtp error message whilst trying to send email on mobile signal.

I've uninstalled/reinstalled about 4 times now. Will probably forget about using k9 as it doesn't seem worth all the hassle!

I still don't know what the smtp error message means. Anyone?

First of all, if your syncing is disabled it means that you will not receive any new email unless you manually check your account. So in order to change this setting easily without reinstalling the app or whatever has been suggested just follow the following steps:

To set up Syncing 02/26/2012
1. make sure you have an account set up and syncing and that you start this tutorial from within the "inbox" of your account.

2. Tap or Push the "settings" hard/soft key on your Android phone. Please refer to your phone's manufactures instructions for further info about this button.

3. on the popup menu tap on the "More" button. A new menu will pop up.

4. Tap "Accounts" from the menu.

5. Now this may sound redundant, but you will need to push/tap on the "settings" hard/soft key at the bottom of the phone screen again, a list of options will pop up at the bottom the screen.

6. , Tap on the "More" button, a menu with two selections should appear.

7. Tap on the "Settings" button from the menu, a new menu will appear.

8. Tap the "Network" button from within the menu.

9. Tap on the "Background sync" button, a list of options will appear.

10. Tap "Always" from the list of options. Exit the menu by the "back" button hard/soft key.
Congrats, you have now set up syncing on your k9 email!

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.
