If this fails, FairEmail will schedule an alarm to retry after 5, 15, 30 and eventually every 60 minutes and let the device sleep (=no battery usage). By temporarily enabling debug mode in the miscellaneous settings, you can disable this logarithmic back-off scheme (since version 1.1855). This will result in using a linear back-off scheme, which means that after each successive failure the waiting time will be increased by 1 minute the first 5 minutes and thereafter by 5 minutes up to 60 minutes. +This might increase the battery usage significantly!
