folders are sorted first by subject, then by date. Subject sorting is
case insensitive and disregards leading re:, fw: and fwd: prefixes.
Threading can be toggled via the T hotkey or the option menu.
The icons could use improvement.
Threading state is maintained during a run of K-9, among all
accounts.
Re-enable instant deletes in MessageView
Deleted message suppression should be generalized into a flag cache,
serving Seen, Flagged, and Answered flags, as well.
Copy message to Trash still needs work, so that no duplicates are ever
visible and server-sync is more clean. This will be especially
important, as the same code will be needed for the future "message
copy/move" facility.
a red/bold subject. Can be done in the FolderMessageList using the
hotkey G (toggle) or by long-pressing the message to bring up the
message context menu. Can be done while viewing an individual message
by using the hotkey G (toggle). To-do: add a Flag/Unflag option to a
menu in the individual message view.
Add sending the Answered flag to the IMAP server when replying to a
message. This is currently done as soon as the reply is started.
Perhaps it would be better to wait until the reply is sent, but that
would require keeping additional state with the draft. Messages to
which the user has replied are indicated with a white arrow next to
the subject.
To-do: In the MessageView, provide visual indication of Flagged and
Answered states.
approach should guarantee that the syncing never stalls just because a
single attempt exceeds the (currently 10 minute) WakeLock timeout. At
the sync frequency, K-9 will wakeup again and refresh the WakeLock for
another go at syncing. This should make synchronization much more
reliable in the face of slow or unavailable connections, in particular
ones which hit the socket read timeouts.
Also, fixed the audible notifications so that the ringtone selected
is always for one of the accounts with new unread mail.
Developers now have the option to turn on a fast-flashing LED during
synchronization in order to observe whether synchronization is
happening while the handset is apparently asleep. I think this option
would be aggravating to non-developer users. See

folders
Automatically clean up deleted messages in Outbox (make deleted
messages destroyed); don't try to send deleted messages, destroy
messages in outbox when deleting. (Yep, the first and third items are
redundant, but will automatically clean up damaged outboxes)
to send the proper delete requests (delete, mark read, nothing).
Otherwise, this code will delete on the server any message deleted on
the handset, no matter option the user selects.
MessageView
Deleting a message in Trash deletes it for real (permanently)
All message operations are allowed on messages in the Outbox. Special
handling for deleting, so that the message is copied to Trash, then
copied asynchronously to the remote Trash.
Add some more items to the hotkey help
Accounts are now set:
Folder display mode = All except 2nd Class
Folder sync mode = Only 1st Class
Only the Inbox is set for:
Folder sync class = 1st Class
All other folders have class set to None for sync and display
Also restored an optimization on opening local folders that I
removed. It is now optimistic, and in the normal case does not have
to make an explicit existence check
features are added to K9mail:
1) Show unread message count on each folder
2) Sum unread count of all shown folders in an account to the account display
3) Periodically check selected folders for new mail, not just Inbox
4) Don't refresh folder when opened (unless folder is empty)
5) Show date and time of last sync for each folder
6) Fix timer for automatic periodic sync (use wakelock to assure completion)
7) Optimize local folder queries (speeds up account and folder lists)
8) Show Loading... message in status bar indicating which folder is being synced
9) Eliminate redundant sync of new messages (performance enhancement)
10) Improve notification text for multiple accounts
11) Do not automatically sync folders more often than the account-specific period
12) Use user-configured date and time formats
13) Select which folders are shown, using configurable Classes
14) Select which folders are synced, using configurable Classes
15) Added context (long press) menu to folders, to provide for Refresh
and Folder Settings
16) Status light flashes purple when there are unread messages
17) Folder list more quickly eliminates display of deleted and out-of-Class folders.
18) Delete works
19) Mark all messages as read (in the folder context menu)
20) Notifications only for new unread messages
21) One minute synchronization frequency
22) Deleting an unread message decrements unread counter
23) Notifications work for POP3 accounts
24) Message deletes work for POP3 accounts
25) Explicit errors show in folder list
26) Stack traces saved to folder K9mail-errors
27) Clear pending actions (danger, for emergencies only!)
28) Delete policy in Account settings
29) DNS cache in InetAddress disabled
30) Trapped some crash-causing error conditions
31) Eliminate duplicate copies to Sent folder
32) Prevent crashes due to message listener concurrency
33) Empty Trash
34) Nuclear "Mark all messages as read" (marks all messages as read in
server-side folder, irrespective of which messages have been downloaded)
35) Forward (alternate) to allow forwarding email through other programs
36) Accept text/plain Intents to allow other programs to send email through K9mail
37) Displays Outbox sending status
38) Manual retry of outbox sending when "Refresh"ing Outbox
39) Folder error status is persisted
40) Ability to log to arbitrary file
