Description
Checklist

- I will describe the problem with as much detail as possible.
App version
6.603
Where did you get the app from?
Google Play
Android version
8.1.0
Device model
Doogee N10
Steps to reproduce
- Start Planet VPN or AdAway (with RPV activated)
- Start K9 mail
Android signals that App Crashes and proposes to restart it. It crashes until VPN is deactivated.
Expected behavior
App should work, even if it is just for displaying that connection does not work.
But crashing at any attempt to start is very bad.
Actual behavior
App crashes everytime it is opened
