Help with K9 mail is there a good thread or forum for this software?

I installed K9 Mail. wow am I impressed with this. I mean really impressed.
I have 5 issues. I am wondering if there is a FORUM anywhere for K9 ??
#1 Sound notifications. it plays one for EVERY single message that comes in. is there a setting anywhere (I looked did not find one) to make it only announce ONCE until I check the mail like gmail does?
#2 When I click the icon to open K9 it goes to the menu with 3 options.
Unified Inbox
All Message
gmail (my account)
I never EVER want to see this screen. now it has an option to check for "goto unified" when you starup but it appears to have no effect.
when I click the "notification" in the status bar it goes directly to unified.
but when I click a shortcut to the k9 application 100% of the time it loads that menu first and I have to then click Unified Inbox to goto mail.
anyway to fix this?
#3
I have mine set for VERY TINY text. I LOVE that I get so much info on the screen really love it.
problem is I can not tell the difference between "read" and "not read" messages. is there anyway to differenciate it more?
I am using the dark theme.
there is a difference. read is offwhite unread is bright white but its VERY hard to make this distinction on the screen at this font size.
#4 some message have a "gray" highlight over the entire message entry on the list. What does this mean?
in relation to #3 this would be PERFECT for distinguishing read and unread. ie grey highlight for unread no grey highlight for read (this is now how its being used now)
#5 There is a BLUE BAR at the top that says Unified Inbox # etc.. etc..
is there anyway to remove this? its useless info I just don't need and would rather it goaway (I could see it being useful if you had multiple mail boxes but I don't)
any help would be greatly appreciated.
besides these quirks (and they are rather minor quirks for the most part) I and FLAT OUT impressed. Hard core. with this program.

Notification bar tweaks?

One thing I dearly wish for is for my notification windowshade to show me individual emails and text messages. I don't receive massive amounts of email/sms, maybe 50 a day in total. But if I don't immediately check my email or sms before another one comes in then all the windowshade does is tell me I have 2 new sms or 3 new emails. YOU DON'T SAY!! I knew that as soon as I turned the screen on cos of the icons on the notification bar.
Is there a way to have the OS separate out all the messages individually, so I can read the first few lines (just the way I can if I just have one message)?
Ideally I would also like a way to delete (not just dismiss) emails directly from the windowshade, without having to go into the GMail app. And no, I don't want to use a widget.
Any suggestions?
I'm still running Gingerbread, btw. I gave up on testing ICS roms a couple weeks ago (will probably just wait until there's a fully functional CM9 ready).
I don't think this is possible without modifying the specific Google apps, and even then it is something Google specifically wants to avoid... see here, ICS Design http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/notifications.html
scroll down to "Stack your notifications"
If your app creates a notification while another of the same type is still pending, avoid creating an altogether new notification object. Instead, stack the notification.

Well that's a real bummer
So theoretically a dev could implement notifications that don't stack. I wonder if someone would be interested in modding the GMail app in this way?

[Q][ISSUE] Calendar problems

Hello.
I try to easly explain problems during preparing my own calendar on zooper.
After i add few rows/elements with callendar event with the same text format its looks great till new events will come to the list. Then margins between rows are change randomly and text looks messy changing position (top/bottom margin changes only).
When i go back to zooper setings all numbers from size and positions are not changed.
What is funny - same problem happen when i use original templates attached to Zooper.
What happen with zooper? Any ideas?
Thank you in adwance.

[Q] Trying to match Yahoo Weather exactly

All,
I've been spending a bunch of time trying to get my icons to match Yahoo (using yahoo for my data as well). Ultimately I want my widget to open yahoo weather with certain clicks and I just want everything to be cohesive in look.
So far, I was able to extract all the icons from the yahoo weather apk, and i generally have them working. However, I've noticed that Yahoo actually has many more than 16 weather types. This seems to be causing me all sorts of inconsistencies in terms of what is shown on my widget versus what is shown in the app, specifically in future forecasts for the days ahead. For example, the app shows the next 6 days as scattered thunderstorms (its florida after all). But, my widget is showing them all as full thunderstorms (different icon than the app). I can somewhat "fix" this by mapping them to scattered, but that would just break the ones who truly should be mapped to thunderstorms.
The other problem I'm having is that the future days (once its past sunset) are all changing to nightime icons instead of being locked to day versions (as it is in the app).
Anyone have experience in trying to get everything consistent? Whats the best way to address it? And, is it possible to map the full list of Yahoo data instead of just 16? Perhaps I just screwed something up in my config file when i tried it? The yahoo developer page has a list of all of them, though I have no way to tell if that's actually 100% up to date either? Looks like it was posted in 2011. How can I make the day/night versions ONLY apply to my current weather, and not future? Maybe build 2 different sets of the same icons and exclude night? Seems like a lot of work, so wondering if anyone has tackled something similar.
Thanks,
Also, i assume somewhere zooper is taking the 48 Yahoo weather conditions and mapping that down to just 16? Where / how is that done?

You will not be able to match Yahoo's weather states exactly with Zooper. As you already figured out, Zooper only knows 16 weather states, which is done to unify the states from different weather data providers to a single interface. The external states are mapped internally to these internal ones and this process can not be influenced from the user side.
As to your second question about the day/night icons: download my weather icon set here and check the included XML. It's configured to only show day/night icons for the current weather option and not the forecast variants. You should be able to transfer this to your set quite easily
Thanks!
Interesting. I didn't know zooper converted the 48 yahoo weathers to 16. What are those 16? I'm trying to do something similar to the OP but with bitmaps.

To answer my own question, and assuming this link is up to date, the 16 weather conditions of zooper are here: http://www.zooper.org/wp/archives/1155

I am facing the same problem regarding day/night icons. I downloaded your config.xml and tried to modify my existing xml based on the info in your xml, but it seems I'm doing something wrong because when I open Zooper on my phone the app is not recognizing the modified xml.
I am attaching the icon set (including the original xml) without any modification. I would appreciate if you let me know exactly what to modify in the xml.
Thanks

I rather prefere if you upload your edited version so I can check it for errors and tell you what you did wrong. That way you know what to do when the next icon pack comes around

[Q] Strange font input

Hi
My htc One has just been upgraded to Lollipop and I note that all the descriptive text (such as the snippets of emails , unread counts on icons, etc) is showing up as outline only as on attachment. I cannot find a setting which allows me to modify this although I have tried a number of different fonts and also looked for some means of editing on both Android settings and my Nova launcher as well. I'm sure there's a setting I can use SOMEWHERE, but so far I'm unable to find it. Any ideas out there?
Thanks
