Steps to reproduce

Greetings, I've noticed that the emails in a sub-folder are not all appearing on K-9 Mail. When I open the folder in Thunderbird or the webmail, it shows 52 but when I open it on K-9 Mail, there's only two(2) showing.

  1. Tap the top left "hamburger" (3 horizontal bars) icon
  2. Select the email you want. (for me the email address with the sub-folder mentioned is already the default email, so I can just hit the subfolder)
  3. If the email with the sub-folder you want to look at is not in the default email address, tap the email/name at the top, and then tap the email you want to switch to
  4. Tap the "hamburger" icon again and then the sub-folder you want to look in.

By the way, the Sent folder on K-9 Mail is not syncing the emails sent with Thunderbird or other email client/webmail.

Thank you.

Expected behavior

The same emails on K-9 Mail that I have on the webmail and other email client such as Thunderbird.

Actual behavior

It's not loading the other emails, there's only two emails/threads showing on K-9 Mail.

Research direction

Start with the attached k9-debug-log.txt and reproduce the sub-folder and Sent-folder sync behavior on the reported Android 11 and K-9 Mail 6.707 setup. Compare the folder contents with Thunderbird or webmail; done means all 52 sub-folder messages and sent messages appear in K-9 Mail.
