Description

K9 > Settings > Global Settings > Network > Background sync: When ‘Auto-sync’ is checked It's not obvious at all it meant ‘Auto-sync’ in Android’s settings. Personally I spent a lot of time and efforts just to find it out. Not everybody might be such stubborn. BTW, what exactly the Android's Setting is this? It is even not mentioned in Documentation. Different Android versions have different Settings(names, locations). Didn't find any suitable for Nougat.

Research direction
Locate the string resource for the 'When Auto sync is checked' setting in the app's strings.xml files. Check the documentation linked in the issue to update it accordingly. The fix involves changing the string to something clearer, like 'When Android Auto sync is enabled', and ensuring the change is reflected in all relevant languages.
