Setting "Start in Unified Inbox" is being ignored

[robin523790]

When "Start in Unified Inbox" is checked in the settings, K9 should start in the Unified Inbox. ;-) Instead the normal inbox of the first email account is being opened.

This used to work. I believe this bug was recently introduced with the removal of the accounts activity.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have more than one account.
2. Check the "Start in Unified Inbox" setting in "General settings > Interaction".
3. Restart the app => opens the inbox of the first account instead

Suggestion: Remove this setting. Instead remember what inbox was used most recently (either a specific account or the Unified Inbox), and open this inbox again when restarting the app.

Environment

K-9 Mail version: 5.700

Android version: various

Account type (IMAP, POP3, WebDAV/Exchange): IMAP

I'll remove the setting. You can still start in the Unified Inbox by using the "K-9 accounts" widget on your home screen.

@cketti There are launchers that do not support widgets or do not list widgets on the home screen. So I would opt to reopen this issue.

When enabled the Unified Inbox will be opened by default (once implemented). See #4306.

@cketti that's great to hear. What about the merged folders? Is the ability to view all spam folders in one place discontinued?

faq is also outdated on this:

edit:
