Automated K-9 Mail New Account Setup Checks

When a new account is added to K-9 Mail, WebRun opens it and checks the signature, sync settings, and notification preferences are all in place, posts the checklist results to Telegram, and sends the admin a Twilio text once every item passes.

In short

How do I confirm a new K-9 Mail account is set up correctly?

WebRun checks a new K-9 Mail account against a setup checklist, confirming the signature, sync, and notification settings are in place. It posts the results to Telegram and texts the admin on Twilio once everything passes, so a new mailbox never gets handed over half configured.

  • Every new K-9 Mail account is checked before it's handed over
  • Setup gaps get caught and flagged instead of surfacing later
  • Admins get a text only once an account actually passes

Questions, answered

Does it change any settings itself?

No. WebRun only checks whether the signature, sync, and notification settings are already in place. It never edits account settings or sends anything from the mailbox on its own.

What happens if a checklist item fails?

It shows up flagged in the Telegram post and the admin does not get the ready text, so a half finished setup never gets mistaken for a working one.

Can I change what's on the checklist?

Yes. Tell WebRun which settings matter for your setup and it checks that list every time a new account is added.
