Am I the only one who can't make FairMail deliver mail faster than 15-20 minutes? The notification is on, the battery optimization for the app is off, still nothing. K9 actually receives the message earlier, despite not having a persistent notification.

Have you opened an issue for that behavior? I haven't looked at the repo's issue reporting policy, but my experience says that telling HN isn't nearly as effective as telling the issue tracker. I would be especially interested in knowing if that happens in a DeGoogled setup, versus on "normal" Android

I don't agree with this conjecture, at all. After seeing plenty of projects with hundreds of open issues, I don't create them anymore unless I'm ready to submit a patch, or it's just a quick question. Whereas here in a thread that will be out of sight by tomorrow, it's a no-brainer—two people answered already.

FairEmail makes this decision even easier by 1) promoting its paid version, which I didn't buy and thus am not in a position to demand anything; and 2) not having an issue tracker in the first place.

This sounds like you are having an issue with the notifications. Does your server support IMAP IDLE? I'm wondering whether K9 is polling for email, and the server isn't supporting push messages via IDLE.
I was having the same issue when I last used it.
Same.

It also drank my battery juice like an electroholic.
