My wife just switched to a Pixel 2XL phone. Her old S5 sounded a
reminder tone every few minutes if a call or text came in when she
wasn't near enough to hear it. The Pixel does not have that feature.
Searching online I quickly found the "Missed Notification Reminder"
which I tried on my S9 and works fine for me, but it does not show up in
the play store from/for her Pixel XL (Android 11).

Can anyone suggest other options for the Pixel, or other sources for
"Missed Notification Reminder", that might work for her phone?

Interesting, the Pixel XL showed Android previously, but after updating
all the files it wanted to update, it now shows Android 11.

Doesn't sound right, the highest official android version for
Pixel/PixelXL was 10, nearly 3 and a half years ago ...

I said official versions

<https://developers.google.com/android/images#marlin>

from v7.1.0 at release up to v10.0.0 at retirement.

Anything newer which gsmarena mentions must be LineageOS or some other
3rd party, and that isn't going to be an automatic upgrade by any
stretch of the imagination.

On December 5, 2017, Android 8.1 Oreo was released for the Pixel 2 and
Pixel 2 XL.[21]

On October 4, 2017, the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL were granted an extended
warranty period which guarantees Android version updates for them until
October 2020, 3 years from when they were first available on the Google
Store,[22] and free unlimited storage for all photos and videos taken on
the phone in original quality through the end of 2020, with unlimited
high-quality storage continuing afterwards.[23]

Android 9.0 "Pie" was made available upon its launch on August 6,
2018.[24] Following the release of the Pixel 3, some of its features
were backported to the Pixel 2, including updates to the camera
software, augmented reality stickers, and a history log for "Now
Playing", among others.[25] Android 10 was made available upon its
launch on September 3, 2019.[26][27] Similarly, *Android 11 was made
available to download upon its launch on September 8, 2020*.[28]

In October 2020, the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL reached their planned
end-of-life date. Their final security update was released in December
2020.[29]

I blame Bob for mentioning "the Pixel XL" in the body of the message,
and only 2xl in the subject, that's why I linked to marlin firmware
instead of taimen firmware ...

Not a big thing!
But it shows me again why I buy a Pixel in case I renew my Android.
OS-support is much longer than with any other phone manufacturer. Comes
closest to my iPhones ...

We did not help you so far. Did you already try on F-Droid app store?
Perhaps you will find the app there.

Download F-Droid and then search for the missing app there.

Yes, and I understand that current Pixels will get 5-and-a-bit years of
security fixes instead of 3-and-a-bit, I believe that's in response to
Samsung offering longer support? Though still only 3 years of major
version upgrades.

Yes, I did find it on F-droid. Tried it on the Pixel 2XL, and it worked
- for a while, then quit working.

I just installed Prof Reminder on it and testing currently.

Apparently, a lot of people had similar problems with it. I did not see
anything about a paid version.

Mozilla bought out K-9Mail which may mean they'll ruin it over time.

I would suggest FairEmail instead because the author is one of the best.
Marcel also wrote NetGuard, which is the best noroot firewall for Android.

FairEmail has everything you'd want in a MUA that isn't in the GMail app.

You are a Troll and an incredible idiot.

Your posting is completely OT anyway. Nobody is talking about mail
clients in this thread.
