Hi
Android has GMail Push functionality, im wondering why i dont get alerted immediately though, sometimes up to 30 mins after i recieve the mail i get the notification.
The 3G coverage in my area is excellent, so it cant be because of this. Is this normal? I thought push email arrives instantly?
It isn't exactly push like in the iPhone. The phone itself checks Gmail once in a while for new mail.
Check In settings->Datasync... See if Gmail sync is disabled... If it is enable it... which will work more like push... but beaware battery drainage...

Thanks Ratheen - my Gmail was working a treat until today - getting my emails pushed to my handset as they came in (yes.. pushed to the handset.. not pulled from the web).. but seemed to have stopped working today... going to try your suggestion..
It worked... just sent an email from my hotmail account to my googlemail.. and the phone received it about 10 seconds later.. MARVELLOUS...
Hi, it seemed that this link was broken. Please give some info in detail.

really that is sweet! i hate how with Gmail and POP i get messages i sent in my inbox on the next send/recieve -- i just set up IMAP and it works great.
Nice! I remember being disappointed that it didn't work when I got the phone because my work doesn't use Exchange yet but at least I figured I could use IMAP on my personal account.
Just set it up and it seems to be working just fine.
Quick question about this: Is there any way to set it to mark things as 'read' once you read them on your mobile device? I'll deal with it if there isn't a way but it kinda sucks to read my messages on my phone and then have to log into gmail to re-mark everything as read.

I just did a test to make sure i was right -- once you read the messages on your phone, the next time you send/receive they will be marked as read in gmail. if yours is not doing this i don't know why. (this is using IMAP not POP)

Ahh... I didn't give it enough time. I have it set to check only every 15 minutes so it didn't get a chance to report back. Thanks.
Hmmm... Worked for me all day but now I am getting SSL and sync errors.
I have had the same problem (imap)....not receiving the body of the email. I believe it is a known issue with gmail and they are working on it. I just turned off the send and receive feature till they fix it. When I need to, I just log into gmail through IE to check my messages.

What ROM are you running. It works with the test ROM. I had some issues with syncing but I soft reset and I was OK. It was mainly giving me issues when I tried to send anything this time.
has anyone tried or found a way around it or an app because right now i'm using gmail,yahoo,hotmail,
any luck i tried googling but get alot of old crap i tried k9 with yahoo but says i can only check it when im on cellular signal basically
Your phone comes with that function...
no it only does it for gmail the other ones it does every 5 to w/e minutes i want to know is there a way to get them instantly
like a BB

Instantly like in using exchange? Then a Rom there has MS exchange would most probably help
so it cant be done without changing roms basically
You can add your hotmail and yahoo accounts to your gmail, then it will push them automatically as they arrive. I have this setup and it works fine...

I too have this and it works great. Here is how to do it.
ttp://blogs.howtogeek.com/mysticgeek/2009/03/13/how-to-send-and-receive-hotmail-from-your-gmail-account/
You can try Seven; it's still in beta.
It offers almost real time email syncing(read/unread, folders) for any number of email addresses including yahoo, hotmail.
The only problem is that the application will keep you phone 100% awake
I hope they'll fix that soon...
i can't seem to figure out whats up. its been about 20 hours since the HD2 last received an e-Mail. if i check my e-Mail like normal on a computer (or via web browser on the phone), it'll tell me i have a bunch of new e-Mails in the inbox. but on the phone itself, it says that there hasn't been any new e-Mails.
i've tried restarting and a battery pull, but nothing has changed.
i know on a Blackberry you can resend your service books if you have this problem, but it seems WinMo doesn't have that option.
any ideas?...
Do you remember how many hours the phone should take to update an e-mail?
You might have set it for every 24 hours.
i'm set to "Every 5 Minutes".
Have you tried going into the email client and hitting the send/receive button? Also try sending an email and once sent it should bring in all your emails. You update setting might be sent too high. I use mine on manual because i dont want it draining my battery

damn. didn't work. what was odd though is that on all my accounts this window pops up saying "certificate has expired".
oh well. good excuse to update the rom.

Are you syncing with an Exchange Server?
naw. not using a microsoft exchange server.
about 30 mins ago though, test e-Mails that i sent finally showed up. but now i'm currently in the process of upgrading the ROM anyways.
i think toreone's tip helped. thanks all!
That same thing happened to me. I have to erase my email info and input it again. Since then no problems
Hi Guys,
Wondering if there's anyone who can help me with an issue I'm having.
I've set my corporate email up (NOT Gmail) and set it to sync every hour, however this setting doesn't seem to get applied and I'm receiving notifications as soon as emails arrive in my inbox i.e. push notifications.
Anyone else having this issue? Or know how to stop this from happening?
Cheers,
B

Having the same issue and I've posted this very same question a good while back too.
The only "valid" response that I got was install a mail app on your phone...
I haven't done that and I'm just living with the push as it is :/
Due to Franco's Kernel my battery lasts more than a day so I'm happy enough (meaning I don't mind the extra battery drain from this)
But I'd still like it if it were once per (half) hour

Really, that's the only solution!?!?! Surely this BUG in the android mail app has a fix somewhere??? I think the app is perfect in every way except for this one thing!

That's the only solution I've been given yes.. And I refuse to get an app for things that should work buildin anyway.
My topic just got no further answers..
Another one, "best" response was to get an app
Several more topics but non consist of any information about this ANNOYING BUG! :/

Thanks mate! I guess most people either want push notifications, or they're using another app for non-gmail email...
No problem.
Still doesn't fix the issue at hand though!
So if anyone has any advice how to fix this, feel free!!
I have noticed this too with my work e-mail account which connects to a corporate Exchange server using ActiveSync. I noticed that when setting the e-mail to anything other than push nothing changed apart from the battery usage for the exchange service on the phone, which surprisingly seemed to go up.
Is everyone who is having this issue using Exchange e-mail accounts?

I'm only syncing my hotmail email account and that gives problems for me. Not sure about the google one as I don't really use it.
Anyone got any solution besides an app?!

How have you configured Hotmail? Has it been set up as an Active sync (corporate) account (will have options for calendar and contacts syncing) or a POP3 account?
Using POP3 will probably let you choose a checking frequency, but you lose the option to delete messages from the server etc.

So all these topics including in the ask anything topic and no one even bothered to mention this? :/
It's written nowhere that this is the solution. And damn it's very easy too
So basically if you use google for calendar / contacts its the following:
* Ability to delete mails from server -> connect as Corporate
* sync frequency -> connect as Mail

This is my first android phone so the difference was unknown to me sadly.
Thanks!
Hi guys,
i've updated to KitKat from 4.3 on my Nexus and now i am not receiving new email sound notifications unless i open the app and mark all messages as read. This is my work account (exchange) and the issue is really annoying because my daily email flow is about 100 messages. Most require my attention right away and i have to turn the phone on and off every few minutes to see if new message is there.
i've tried re-adding the account, changed notification sound, updated to 4.4.1 and then to 4.4.2 but the issue is still there.
any suggestions?
device is complete stock.

I'm having the same issue here. Did not notice the issue on 4.4 or 4.4.1 but as soon as I updated to stock 4.4.2 the issue showed up. Sometimes the unread email will be there if I open the app but no notification sound or icon. I'm also getting delayed push emails randomly. It seems to work fine for an hour or two then no emails will show up unless I manually pull and I'll get a flood and e-mails will come in normally for a while.

i am still getting emails pushed, but no notification sounds...
any ideas how to fix this???
I tried wiping my device and flashing the factory image, issues remain.
Something I have noticed is that the second I open the Email application, the messages show up in the list .. of course no notifications.. Another behavior is that when the sync is configured with "Push" it is supposed to be realtime, and before KitKat, it was that way.. I'd get an alert on my phone the next second I received an email.. However, that also seems to be screwed up as well. I was hoping this 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 would resolve the issue but it didn't.
So I contacted google about this yesterday and the first few emails went nowhere. Then they transferred me to a 'specialist', here is their response:
Hello Brian,
Thank you for your response. Not being able to sync your emails through exchange is frustrating. I would be more than happy to assist you in syncing with the Exchange server. Unfortunately, at this time in order to sync with the Exchange server you need to access a third party app through 'Google Play'. In the future there may be updates to the Android OS that may allow for syncing with the Exchange server. Currently, Kitkat is unable to facilitate syncing with the Exchange server.
If you have any further questions, concerns or downloading a third party app does not resolve the issue please feel free to reply to this email or contact us at support.google.com.
Best Regards,
Valerie

WOW!
Will they pay for that third party application for us???
I remember how everybody was bashing Apple when their update broke exchange sync. But they fixed it quite fast.
Never thought i will see that approach from Google...
Very sad
anybody was able to fix the issue?
anyone?
still have this annoying issue!

Same here.. I really need a fix for this, I keep missing important messages
I think Google tweaked the email client to turn off notifications unless you open the app. If you get the first email, it will make a sound. If you don't open the app and check it, it will stop notifying you of further emails. I'm really not sure what the solution will be to this issue..
This is on my Nexus 5, but I have the same email client that the N4 does.
you can change that in settings :

That's a Gmail setting, we're referring to the native email app that handles Exchange accounts
For me not
It always works for me
try using the application of your email provider(f.e. if you have a microsoft account use outlook.com app). that is what i do and i don't have any problem anymore. if you like to have all your different accounts in one application i would suggest to find another application. droid mail and k9 mail are quite good as far as i know

It makes an audible beep every time you get a new email in the "Email" app even if you don't open the app every time? Are you on 4.4.2?

I use it for my Exchange account for work email, there's no other email provider client. I'll see if I can get droid mail or K9, but they're relatively expensive options for just this 1 issue.
