Research direction
Start by reproducing the account conversion from POP3 to IMAP through Receive E-Mails/Input Server on Android 13 with K-9 Mail 18.0, using the reported host and port changes. Trace the setup flow where the '* OK IMAP4 ready' response is treated as an error. Done means the existing account can be switched to IMAP and the changes are saved.
