Ratings and reviews

I appreciate the design of the email app. After recently switching from a Samsung phone, I needed to find a new email client. This one is the closest I've found to my previous app. However, I'm disappointed with the default 15-minute email fetch interval. It's not frequent enough for my needs. I would prefer an "Auto" option that retrieves new emails as soon as they arrive. Hopefully, the app developers are monitoring user feedback and will consider adding this feature in a future update.

K-9 mail is a very good email app. It's easy to set up, and has all the options the average user needs. Could it use a few changes? Yes, instead of using the bottom of the screen for downloading the entire message, I believe the delete button at the bottom would be more useful and easier to use than having it offset at the top of the screen. I've used canine mail many years ago and lost track of it. I'm glad that I have found it again. Great job developers!
