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.
My friend has this phone with T-Mobile. The issue that he is seeing is that he can get his emails off the server and send them to the Trash. However, when he tries to delete the messages permanently from trash they disappear from his phone for a short time and then come back. So it would appear that the messages are deleted from his phone but not the server, so when the phone syncs with the server they reappear.
I told him about this site and he has searched for this issue with no luck. I have also searched and have decided to post this for assistance.
Thanks for any help you guys can give us on this.
Edit: I should mention that this is happening with his Comcast email, gmail works fine though.

He checked this and it does say delete from server when I delete from inbox.
the strange thing is that he switched from this to Never Delete it just went back to his inbox and then he went back in and it was still on "delete from server when I delete from inbox".
He tried again and they still do not delete.
Any other ideas?
email settings
He may need to log in to his email on his computer and see if it has a setting to keep mail on the server after it has been pulled using POP3 or IMAP. I have not used comcast email but that could be an issue.
I was having the same issue on my Nexus One. But to add on to it even when I marked messages as read they kept coming back as unread and was constantly sounding the new email notificatiion. I wiped and set everything up again and continued to have the same problem.
To resolve the issue I just set up to pull from my other yahoo POP accounts in gmail. Now I don't have the read items reaccuring. But I don't have the option now to delete from the yahoo server if I delete in gmail. But I guess I can live with that.
I guess the other email client still needs some fine tunning. But of course gmail works great. Was a little disspointed about this coming from a blackberry but the other pluses really outweighs this little stint.
I sent him your suggestions. He is going to try it soon. I will let you know what happens.
Thanks for all your help.
Comcast hsa an option in their settings to keep mail on server when downloading via POP. have him uncheck that setting in his comcast webmail. This will fix the problem
My HD2 somehow today downloaded all my messages from my Yahoo account, all 7000+ messages from several years! Does anyone know:
(1) How to delete all these messages from HD2? One by one takes too long!
(2) How to prevent HD2 from downloading all the messages again? I checked my email setting. It sets to only download the past 3 days message. I have no idea how it can even download several years messages. I thought my HD2 experienced the sleep of death.
Thank you!

go into your inbox by going to your mail tab and click all messages. once there click menu and go to tools and there should be something that says clear "your account name" mine happens to be gmail. It will delete all your messages off your phone but not from the server( Yahoo) now for the second part I have not figured a way, sounds like you need to startt deleting some junk mail or make a new account
You might want to try moving all your older messages online to a separate folder..."archived" or something similar...which should keep them from being DL'd to your phone again.
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
The Google Support Team

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.
I noticed that I'll get an email notification, then look at the notification on my lock screen. If I don't open it, and just turn the screen off again, I'll get repeat notification sounds every 10 mins for the same email message. Its especially bad when im listening to something in the car or at work and I can't immediately swipe away the notification. I want to turn this repeat notofication off because its really annoying, but I can't figure out how. Anyone know??

I know it's been a while, but did you ever figure this out? I just added some work alerts to my Gmail account and this has been driving me nuts - it's great to have it alert me every 10 minutes all night long that something happened for 1 minute at 2AM, but I'd love to be able to make it stop. It only does it for Gmail for me, not for my Exchange account that's also configured in the Gmail app.

Okay, so MAYBE... maybe some useful information on this?
I went into the Gmail settings online - through the Gmail web interface. I saw that IMAP was enabled, and I disabled that there. After that, any emails that came into Gmail seem to only notify me once, as expected.
So, I can't say that's 100% the absolute solution, but if your problem was in Gmail, it's something to try?

Ok so this doesn't seem to work for me. I still get the repeat notifications at seemingly random intervals. Just out of curiosity, do you have POP enabled or disabled? Also, don't we need IMAP enabled to be able to access emails from another email client (i.e. the Inbox or Gmail app)?
I have POP disabled as well.
You don't need IMAP enabled for the Gmail app. Other apps maybe - I guess it depends on how they talk to your Gmail account. I thought it needed to be enabled for the mail client on my Windows 10 machine to talk to it, but it's still working with IMAP off, so I guess not?
