Description
When I installed K-9 and first setup my mail, the widget was showing all mails, as expected.
Then I set the "Local folder size" to "all messages" and "Sync messages from" to "Any time (no limit)".
Expected behavior
All messages shown.
Actual behavior
No messages shown.
When I set a lower limit and reboot the widget works again.
Steps to reproduce
- have a big inbox (in my case +/- 5000 mails, 300 unread)
- set the "Local folder size" to "all messages"
- set "Sync messages from" to "Any time (no limit)"
- add "Unified inbox widget" to homescreen.
Environment
K-9 Mail version: 5.600
Android version: replicant 6 0003
Account type: IMAP
Please take some time to retrieve logs and attach them here:
My version of adb:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.40
Version 4986621
Installed as /nix/store/73zsiynckxkki5xxap7qk7r4laxp1g60-platform-tools-28.0.1/libexec/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb
does not recognize the --pid option.
I was not able to find out how to log just K-9.
Please update the wiki and I'll attach a log.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Unified inbox widget with a large IMAP inbox, “Local folder size” set to “all messages,” and “Sync messages from” set to “Any time (no limit). Investigate the widget behavior and obtain K-9 logs using an Android debugging method supported by the reported adb version. Done means the widget displays messages under these settings, including the reported large-inbox case.
