The functionality is present in the latest stable version, but needs to be reimplemented in the new version. As a user I would be upset if the app was updated and that feature taken away, even if it was only temporary.
- richardwhiuk 6y agoWhich leads to the question about why it was removed...
- rlpb 6y agoSomething to do with issues with newer Android no longer permitting the background connection to remain open for battery saving purposes, I think?
- zlynx 6y agoI am not using the beta version of K-9. I was able to make it work mostly correctly on Android 11 by setting it to "Not Optimized" in the battery power permissions. That will allow it to run in the background. It seems to be able to use IDLE and to also run its periodic polling that way. Otherwise I would open K-9 and it would be hours out of date.
