Android Sync Doesn't Work Too Good
Greetings,
I'm getting reports from a user who's reading and deleting mail on Thunderbird, but read flags and deletions don't show up in his Android phone. He's using the native Android mail app with the newest Android OS.
My question is, where do I start with troubleshooting this kind of issue? Thanks for anyone's insight here. We're using Dovecot 2.2.13.

look at the verbose logs, and dont expect android app to be a good imap client ( i never tried it that kind ) , better use k9 Mail with imap on Android

Thanks, Robert. This user did once use K9, but they like the native app better... I suggested to them that they double check the syncing in K9 rather than native.

native is OK for pop;3, but imap - hopeless., as bad as apple's native mail app is with pop3 (not issuing QUIT) etc +1 for k9 rufff :)

If it's the look of K9 they don't like, can I recommend K-@ Mail. K-@ Mail uses K9Mail's mail engines, but puts a modern interface on the top.

Hi,

Also, the developers of K-9 Mail are working on a new version with improved GUI, called "Kaiten" (K-10...):

The paid version is ad free:
