Re: Unable to connect to server with K-9 mail

No idea, if same settings works with Thunderbird, server-side settings are ok.
How do you configure IMAP/POP3/SMTP settings in K-9? Did you try other mail clients on your Android?

I use BlackBerry Hub as mail client on BlackBerry DTEK50 (an Android phone with OS 6.x), adding account as an Exchange ActiveSync account, syncing mail folders, calendar, contacts, tasks, no problem. The mail server is iRedMail (+SOGo), of course.

Turns out I forgot to open port 587 via my AWS console. The reason I was able to connect with Thunderbird was that I had a security policy allowing all traffic from my desktop IP. If anyone else is encountering similar issues, here is the list of ports to check:

The OWA path to configure in k9mail is in the HTTP server: 

/SOGo/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
