Fixes Issue 577
K-9 has earned its Canine Good Citizen.
K-9 now respects the Android-global Background data preference, by
default. However, there is an override, allowing K-9 to ignore the
global preference, by either always running around and synchronizing
in the background, or staying put and not synchronizing.
A user can now elect to turn off mail synchronization across all
accounts in either the K-9 Preferences page by setting Background
synchronization to Never, or leaving that value as "When 'Background
data' is checked" and deselecting the Android-global Background data
preference.
This commit contains the entirety of the changes performed in the
issue4-1.X branch from revision 718 through revision 851. Because the
issue4-1.X branch was up-to-date with trunk revision 847 at revision
849, the source of this commit was not an "svn merge". Instead, it is
merely a copy of all changed files from the issue4-1.X branch to my
trunk working copy and a straight commit.
