Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not really. In v5.600, the account view displayed the time when the folders were last polled. Also, the top line of every view displayed the next poll update time. I am requesting restoring this information.

Describe the solution you'd like
Similar to what v5.600 had, but with the UI overhaul, I am not sure of the best location to display the information. If displaying the next poll update time is too costly, at least displaying when folders were last polled is helpful.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
Otherwise, thanks for keeping K-9 current on so many Android versions.

Research direction

Compare the v5.600 account view and top-line behavior with the current UI overhaul, focusing on where folder polling and the next poll update are represented. Determine a suitable location for the timestamps, then verify that the last folder poll is visible and the next poll time is restored if practical.
