Steps to reproduce

I have never been able to set up imap settings for the incoming server with port 993 on K9-mail. I have tried other apps and they work. Thunderbird works as it should with imap settings on port 993. Please check for a bug. Thanks

Expected behavior

I expect that K9-mail will accept the imap settings on port 993.

Research direction

Start with the K-9 Mail account setup flow and reproduce the incoming IMAP configuration using port 993 on the reported Android environment. Compare the resulting error with the expected acceptance of the settings, and investigate further with logs or server details since none are provided. Done means a valid IMAP configuration using port 993 can be accepted without the reported error.
