K-9 Account Settings

This part of the K-9 Manual is incomplete. It will cover the various sections of the Account Settings panel.

Many of the settings in K-9 Mail can be customised for each account, and are therefore located under Account Settings. To open them:

  • If you're in the Accounts List view, long-tap the account you want to configure, then select Account Settings.
  • If you're in a folder list or message list, select Menu, More, Settings, then Account Settings to get to the settings for the current account.

    With the prefix option selected 2 additional option will be available:

    ** Reply after quoted text - When checked, the original message will appear above the reply you type into the message text box.

    ** Quoted text prefix - Defines the character(s) that will precede each line of quoted text. the default is '>'.

Storage

Introduced in version ???, the Storage location option lets you choose whether to store email for the selected account using internal storage or external storage (SD card). Note that this is different to storing the app in external storage. See ??? for details on why app2sd is not enabled for K-9 Mail. {Update with version number and appropriate links to FAQ, etc.}
