Research direction
Start by reproducing the authentication alerts after updating K-9 Mail 14.0 from F-Droid on Android 15, then inspect the available account-sync and authentication diagnostics; the report includes no logs or source entry point. Done means the false authentication alerts stop for all accounts while normal account updates and DAV replication continue.
