Found this morning that everytime i go into the social hub, and any subsequent email accounts, i get the above error and a force close button.
I've not updated since a couple of months ago and have the KE2 firmware on o2, rooted.
Backtracked everything i did yesterday and remember i didn't install any new applications, although I did download a couple of music albums off the amazon mp3 app, though i don't believe that would cause the issue.
I've been into all email accounts and deleted any e-mails received over night to see if there were any dodgy emails with problematic headers, etc, but I still get the same problem.
Any ideas?
I'd be most grateful for any help.
Cheers,
Luke.
Mine had been, and it was driving me nuts. The app would load just fine but the second I touched a conversation it would force close. Every time. I could hit menu and go to settings but that was about it. I would see it load all my contacts and their pics on the right sidebar.
I had tried uninstalling hangouts and reinstalling, no fix.
Signing out of google, clearing cache and data on google play services and on hangouts, then signing back in to google. No fix.
I short, I tried all the different fixes for broken apps we have all known for ages now, all to no avail.
I tried hangouts on my wife's nexus with my gmail account - it force closed. Tried her account information on my GS4 hangouts, it worked just fine... something else was going on.
Turns out, if you have old archived chats, especially group chats, the hangouts app cannot pull them or handle the data somehow, and will force it to force close.
TO FIX IT -
Sign in to hangouts on PC and clear out everything. All old chats, group chats, archives.
I had never used hangouts on PC before... Not sure I had even archived any chats on purpose.
The app started working immediately and I did not have to restart my phone.

I was a gmail beta tester as well - I don't know if this is a determining factor or not, I just thought I would share the information if anyone else is having a similar problem they can have an easy fix.
I have a Verizon Note 3 and this morning several apps started force closing or stopping every time I used them. Instagram, Google Search, and Gmail, whenever i open a message ( list view was fine). I started with uninstalling the apps, clearing cache and defaults and everything. After that didn't work i did a factory reset and the only thing that changed was the gmail now works fine but the rest force close in about 2 seconds every time. I tried Norton antivirus and that force closes immediately too. Even the crash reports process crashes when trying to report them. and ideas where to go next besides Verizon?
Since the Nougat update, my gmail account no longer auto-syncs or receives pushed messages, even if the gmail app is open when the message should arrive. If I sync manually, I immediately see the pending messages.
Power-saving is not on. I've double-checked the phone's auto-sync toggle and the notification settings for the gmail app and for this particular gmail account, in the app and in the Application Manager. Other devices receive push messages in gmail for the same account. Other apps (such as Google Voice) successfully push messages to the phone, resulting in immediate notification. Doze optimization is turned off for gmail. I tried clearing data and cache for gmail and then reestablishing the account, but that didn't help.
Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
If you haven't tried already, reboot to recovery and wipe cache partition, it's worth a try.
Do you have any apps disabled?

For what it's worth, I'm having the exact same issue on my phone since the Nougat update! It also happens with my AT&T (home) voicemail viewer. I used to get notifications immediately when I got a message at home, now it never tells me unless I open the app.

Thanks for the suggestions. Wiping the cache in recovery didn't help. The only disabled apps are DirecTV and Fullscreen (and no task/power manager apps are in use).
I've noticed that it's not just incoming messages that don't auto-sync; it doesn't auto-sync in the other direction either. If I delete or archive a message in the gmail app, I don't see that change on other devices until I manually sync the gmail app.
As a workaround, Samsung's Email app is auto-syncing properly.
Now I'm seeing the same problem with Samsung's Email app too.
I was able to fix this problem (and also the absence of my phone from the Android Device Manager listings) using some combination of these methods:

I solved the problem uninstalling all the gmail updates and stopping the autoupdates from the play store. If I use the original version of gmail (first installation on the phone before udates) it syncs perfectly. Hope this can help. And hope samsung and google can solve the problem!
I noticed this issue only goes away when you turn off power saving...
@ Isidrology is right, for the S7 with nougat I went to settings, device maintenance, battery, battery usage, hit the 3 dots in upper right corner, optimize battery usage, change drop down to all apps, and deselect gmail and whatever else you don't want doze messing with your phone. I deselected google opinion rewards as well and 10 minutes later I got a new survey!
Thanks William5, it was well hidden but it seems to work

Thanks! This seems to have solved the problem on my Sprint S7.
In Android 7.0 Nougat Samsung Galaxy S8+, there is no GMail under Device Management-->Battery-->Unmonitored Apps
I have had this phone for 6 months and email only gets refreshed manually. Even when refreshing manually I usually have to do it twice for any email to appear. I have tried every other setting I can find.
After the update, my gmail app does not sync anymore!
Push does no work.
Puling down in the app does not work either.
Anyone having this problem?
No issues here.
No such issue as well. Thank you.
Not hapenning
No problems here with Gmail sync or push notifications. Maybe clear cache and data from the app, uninstall it, reboot, then install it again to see if it's fixed
Mine works too
Lol one more for no problems after update...
No issues here.
Just got the march update finally.
When i first started the gmail app there was a "getting your messages" loading bar and emails list was empty.
UI in the app was empty of accounts and messages
Eventually after trying to use it, close and start the gmail app, it froze. I chose to kill it from the dialog that came up. When i started the app again it was OK.
Will update if i notice any more issues
