Problem you are trying to solve

Android 13 (API level 33) introduces a predictive back gesture for Android devices such as phones, large screens, and foldables.

Suggested solution

I believe K-9 Mail uses default back navigation, so enabling this functionality should be as simple as opting in by updating AndroidManifest.xml, in the <application> tag, set the android:enableOnBackInvokedCallback flag to true.

See https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/predictive-back-gesture#opt-predictive

Screenshots / Drawings / Technical details

Here's how predictive back looks:

Start with AndroidManifest.xml and the application tag, then compare the requested opt-in with Android's predictive back gesture documentation. Enable the callback as described and verify that predictive back navigation works on an Android 16+ device or emulator.
