Description

i have multiple accounts that connect multiple ways to multiple servers
i cant see any way to simply tell if all mail accounts are connecting and working right

it would be nice to have a settings page where you can see if there are any connection errors
or have been any errors lately for multiple accounts

the old k9 (5.6) folder list had information on last successful sync time and would display any errors
that was very useful for troubleshooting

having to check the log regularly or missing mail from an error would is cumbersome or unacceptable
