Re: sending mail from Android with K9 fails

In james_server.log there are some logging on the emails that got 
successfully spooled. Logging is about the fact that the emai got sent 
by James. Sorry if it was unclear: from K9 I sent a new email to gmail 
OK. And I think that when I composed the previous email that caused the 
exception, at that time James was not available.

Thanks for your feedback on K9. I am not confortable with it indeed.

I messed around trying to get K9 to play nice with an mail exchanger running dovecot & exim4 and gave up. Can't remember the details as this was some time ago, but I think I concluded that K9 was rather over opinionated about the settings it should use and lacked config options that it really ought to have.
