App

K-9 Mail

App version

14.0

Where did you get the app from?

Google Play

Android version

12

Device model

samsung galaxy tab A & galaxy s10

Steps to reproduce
  1. Opened K9
  2. That's it. Some sort of update happened & the UI is different. Fine. But, it turned on threaded view (the worst invention ever).
  3. This should never happen.
Expected behavior

Leave the threaded view setting alone, or better yet, eliminate threaded view from the universe.

Actual behavior

Critical and time consuming setting changes were made without user permission.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior in K-9 Mail 14.0 on Android 12 with threaded view disabled, then investigate what changes after opening or updating the app. Done means an update or launch no longer changes the user's threaded-view setting without permission.
