Which leads to the question about why it was removed...

Something to do with issues with newer Android no longer permitting the background connection to remain open for battery saving purposes, I think?

I am not using the beta version of K-9. I was able to make it work mostly correctly on Android 11 by setting it to "Not Optimized" in the battery power permissions. That will allow it to run in the background. It seems to be able to use IDLE and to also run its periodic polling that way. Otherwise I would open K-9 and it would be hours out of date.
