Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm afraid I've never used it with direct Activesync; my Exchange connection has always been EWS/OWA-based (whatever they call the web endpoint now in O365 hosted Exchange).

Thanks. Does it work well with EWS?

Absolutely, it works (and has worked) with EWS for me reliably over the years, I've never actually used ActiveSync on my (personal) devices, as that gives my company control (MDM) over my device to remote wipe it. I've used AquaMail for... 8 years? (back when it was just one dev and $5) across all the Exchange movement my company has done.

It did take them (the new owners) awhile to get the O365 MFA support coded in, which is when I purchased Nine and used it for a year or so. Once AquaMail got their code updated to handle that, it was like a breath of fresh air coming back to the client. (the export/import of your settings - which are plentiful - works great, I've also upgraded phones many times)

PSA: if you've not used it in awhile, use the betas via F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.fsck.k9/ You have to click "Versions" from the F-Droid app and specifically opt-in (and upgrade) the betas, F-Droid will default to installing the older stable version. The betas are almost night (mode heh) and day apart, the UI and operations have almost a complete overhaul from the old days and it looks (and works)…

This comment fails to mention that the beta versions are totally fucking broke in many ways and don't even do IMAP IDLE. There's a reason they are still in beta.

Your salty demeanor is misdirected at the messenger, and that issue is literally the top bullet item on the developer's blog post as what the money will support to get coded. Be nice.
