[Solved] [Android beta] allowing Thunderbird to use "Alarms & Reminders"? (lemmy.world)

Edit: Solved

Either:

Set K-9 to Unrestricted Battery in Settings > Apps > K-9 Mail > App battery usage, OR
Allow K-9 in Settings > Apps > Special app access > Alarms & Reminders.

If K-9 is already set to Unrestricted, then it won't appear in the second place.

OS: Android 14, Pixel 8

I'm annoyed by this fixed bug (watch does not vibrate when receiving mail), so I enabled the K-9 beta in the app store, and as of today I have version 6.713 which hopefully has the fix.

The release notes say:

Note: For now please manually allow "alarms & reminders" in Android's app settings when using Push on Android 14

... but I can't find those settings. Under Settings > Apps > Special app access > Alarms & Reminders, K-9 mail isn't listed, and there's no Add button.

I do have Push enabled on my email accounts; and I have the notification silenced.

I have K-9 set to Unrestricted battery access.

What am I missing?

Do you have problems in FairEmail?

I used to use FairEmail, but one of my email providers (a school using Microsoft 365) blocks FairEmail. So I haven't tried it with this watch.

Could you use it to test the notification issue or would you need that Microsoft 365 account?

I could, but I'm not asking about the bug here; I'm asking about allowing K-9 to use alarms and reminders like the release notes said.

Sorry, I know that was a little left-field but I was trying to ascertain whether your issue is just K9 or all email as the alarms and reminders thing has nothing to do with your mail notifications
