All the items in the drawer are of a single-use only and thus don't need to be in the drawer. It's confusing to users.

Or, move the settings and the lock action into the drawer, so "app-scope"/global actions are in the drawer and only local (conversation list-related) actions are in the action bar.

I've gotta say that I'm in agreement with the Android Design Guidelines* and don't feel that the best option is to move the settings to the drawer at all. The drawer is actually useless for this app unless you're going to use it to switch conversations/threads.

On second thought, I think you're right; it's a bit confusing for these items to be in a drawer.

@sabret00the Have any suggestions for where they should go?

I strongly believe they belong in the overflow menu below settings. They're things that if the app is working correctly. the user should never need to come in contact with.

I don't know that I agree the drawer should never be used if the app is working correctly. Import/Export and looking at your identity aren't signs that something is malfunctioning...

The point I was trying to make is that import/export is more of an action than a navigation point. Drawing a parallel with email, you'd have Inbox, Outbox, Drafts in the Navigation Drawer while having things like settings, setup (inclusive of import/export) in the Action Overflow.
