Ok, I'm having fits with my email on my Nexus 7 (and on my Galaxy Nexus since the upgrade).
Explanation: I have multiple email accounts (who doesn't???). I don't want to use multiple email clients.
That said, the built-in Gmail client is working fine. However, when I set up my primary gmail account in the built-in Email app, it will set up fine (and fetch all the emails), but the next time it goes to fetch email, it will throw a sign-in error, and say that the user name and/or password is incorrect.
Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone know of a fix?
I have three email accounts set up, make sure everything is set up correctly and always do a manual creation of the account.

After the new announcement for push email on the iphone using microsoft exchange, I have become interested in attempting this on my hero.
I know I can add gmail accounts to both the gmail app and the mail app on the hero, but there is a reason I want to try the exchange method. The gmail app gets push email, but the mail app doesn't. However, I much prefer the mail app on the hero, along with the mail widget. If using this method will work, it can mean I can use the mail app, along with push gmail.
Has anyone tried to add their gmail account to their hero using this method? I've tried, but it says it is unable to add the account. The account is verified successfuly, it just cannot be added. I'm not sure whether or not this is a temporary issue.
Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.
I was unable to add an exchange account (gmail) this afternoon, but I am now able to do so. Probably too many people rush to try that earlier today.
I added my second gmail account as an exchange account, and then set sync frequency as "as items arrive" i.e. push. Emails indeed arrive very quickly.
The problem is, I cannot send email! I tried composing a new mail, or replying to a received email. After I press "Send", the mail app acted like the email was sent but the other side never it. What's more, I couldn't find the email I sent in the "Sent" or "Out" or "Draft" folders. Manually refreshing the account doesn't seem to work either. I don't know if this is the problem of the mail app, or the problem with gmail's server.
Another problem is, com.htc.provider got force closed very frequently... although it has no problem restarting itself.
Okay, now I realize the com.htc.provider problem is caused by Peep rather than Google Sync http://bit.ly/5uWoi
The problem about sending email still exist though, and some of my received emails are getting "error" as their subjects, although the bodies of the emails display fine.

Its the same for me:
* sent emails never received by the other side, ... :-(
* some emails have "error" as their sender instead of the correct email adress :-(
Any ideas for solution are welcome.

I have the same problem. Maybe there's something wrong with Google's IMAP service? I have restored to an old backup just in case it was a settings issue but it still doesn't work.
Hope there is a solution soon.
Tried using the HTC Mail app and IMAP for Gmail seems to be working just fine. But the Google Mail app is still not working.
Any idea how to set the IMAP setting for the Google Mail app manually?
Don't mix up IMAP with Exchange (Google Sync).
IMAP for Gmail (or Google Apps) has been working perfectly for me, but IMAP does not support push.
Exchange Server for Gmail (or Google Apps) supports push and push email works fine. But it has problem sending out emails and some emails received has "error" as their subjects.
Why is Exchange Server for Gmail useful? Well, it is useful if you have more than one Gmail/Google Apps account (my first one is my personal Gmail account, and the second one is my university's Google Apps email account) The built in Gmail app support push, but it only support one account. Before Google enabled Exchange Server for Gmail yesterday, the only way to set up the other Gmail account is to set it up as a IMAP account. Now I can set it up as an Exchange Server account to get push email, however it is having problem mentioned above... I am not sure if this is a problem with Gmail's server or a problem with the HTC mail app.
To set up IMAP for Google App, just set it up as normal Gmail (i.e. imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com, yes SSL), and enter the whole Google App email address as your username.
To set up Exchange for Gmail or Google App, use m.google.com as sever name and leave domain blank. Enter your Google account username and password, and if you are using Google App, enter the whole email address as username as above.
Hi tsekh501,
have you any news on this topic?
Would love to hear good / working news ... ;-)
Receiving "error" in the subject line here too. I am very interested to learn if any further progress been made..

I love that Google added Gmail exchange support. IMAP Idle is close, but Exchange is true push which is necessary for some of us. I think IMAP Idle gives much better battery life though IMO
I really like the new email interface that comes with the Xoom as well as the new and similar Gmail app interface. However, I also have a non-Gmail account that supports imap push which does not appear to be supported in the new stock email app. To get push email from that account, I am using K-9 which works well with push, however, I much prefer the new stock email interface. My question is, am I missing a setting on the stock email app for push (it is set up as an imap account), or, if not, what is the limitation or reasoning to not have included push in this app?
As a side comment, I did try forwarding all of my non-Gmail email to my Gmail account so I would receive it on the Xoom via push. This worked fine for about a week at which time, I as well as everyone that had sent or been copied on these emails started being flooded with notices that delivery of the email had been delayed (although it had actually been received) but attempts would be made to resend this email for the next few days. With each attempt to resend another notice would be received. My and everyone else's mailboxes were being over-filled with these notices so I stopped forwarding to Gmail and in about three days, at the end of the attempt to resend time period, these notices stopped. The account I was forwarding from was an Apple account (.me). I don't really believe in conspiracy theories but this one has me wondering!

I have an IMAP account. When you are setting it up at the end it asks for refresh interval. I put that to never and it seems to push my email just fine.
under apps at the top right there are two email clients, gmail and email. Anything other than gmail gets loaded into email and is viewed in there. There are also two seperate widgets both of which I have on page 1.

That is interesting as when I tell the regular email client, set up as an imap account, to "Never" check, it does just that....it never checks. I have to go into the app and manually refresh it to get any email. On the Gmail client, a time selection is not available as it is set to sync automatically with your gmail account.

Sorry about that Spawn! I figured out what I did and won't let it happen again!
I, too, do not find that the "never" setting works. I notice on the Exchange seetings there are extra fields to syn with server. IMAP seems to have left those choices out.
I'm using K9 Mail to access 2 IMAP accounts, Gmail and work. It's set to only manually poll when I need to, I don't need constant push and notifications, I'll read email when I want to. Trouble is that polling hangs for minutes at a time, it doesn't matter whether I'm on wifi or mobile data. it will eventually work, but there's definitely something that's not right here between the N4 and K9. The weird part is that I use the same K9 configuration on a Nexus 7 tablet and it works very quickly every time. I tried reinstalling K9 on the N4 and starting with a fresh configuration but it doesn't help.
Anyone else seeing this?
Any other good and free IMAP client I could try as an alternative to K9? I know there's the stock "Email" one but it doesn't allow multiple identities per account.
Same situation here, multiple account on k9, only the imap takes long long ( too long ) time to get the mails.
Curious if anyone else has encountered this issue or may know if a solution.
I like to use the stock email app instead of the Gmail app. I setup my gmail account to sync via ActiveSync/Exchange instead of IMAP. However, this doesn't work on my Nexus 4. I get the following error:
Code:
You don't have permission to sync with this server. Contact your server's administrator for more information.
I find this highly strange as I setup all my android devices in this same manner and don't have any issues with the others. I know I have entered all the information correctly since I could probably do it blind and hands tied behind my back I've done it so many times...
Oh, and this seems to happen on both pure stock Android and CM10.1.. only one my nexus 4
Any thoughts or ideas would be great.

See the announcement part of this post.
http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/30/google-exchange-activesync/
We reached out to Google and received this confirmation: "As announced last year, our plan is to end support for new device connections using Google Sync starting January 30, 2013. With the launch of CardDAV, it's now possible to build a seamless sync experience using open protocols (IMAP, CalDAV and CardDAV) for Gmail, Google Calendar and Contacts. We'll start rolling out this change as planned across all platforms but will continue to support Google Sync for Windows Phone until July 31, 2013."
Wow... so I'm forced to either use Gmails crappy IMAP or use the official Gmail app which I despise. Thanks for the info. I read something about that but for some reason thought it only applied to non-android devices... must have mis-read.
Now if only I can trick my Nexus 4 into thinking it's my SGSIII or Gnex...
I'm in the exact same situation as OP and stumbled on this post in search for a solution...
Sigh...if anyone comes up with a solution please post it!
It's changed alot and is one of my favorite e mail apps but that's just the opinion

This is the solution I've come up with:
Create an Outlook.com email account
Go to Settings -> More Mail Settings -> Your Email accounts
Click "Add a send-only account" and enter your gmail address. Follow instructions to complete tast
Change "Default "From" Address" to your Gmail address
Log into your Gmail and go to settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP
Add your Outlook.com address and forward all mail to that address
Setup the email app up on your android device to connect to your Outlook.com account via ActiveSync (m.hotmail.com)
Done
I know its all really simple and not needed but see the attached screen shot.
It sounds like a pain in the ass but it works almost just as well. You will continue to receive your gmail on other devices just as you always have. When you reply to an email with your device that is syncing up with outlook.com, as outlined above, it will still be shown as coming from your Gmail address. Read the text below "Default "From" Address" in Outlook.com settings.
Email delivery is not as fast as directly connecting to gmail via ActiveSync, but it's not a 5 minute delay as it would be with IMAP either. Anyway, it's not ideal but in my opinion it's better than using the Gmail app.

I have the same problem. No fix there yet?
I use the Mail app as I don't like the layout of the Gmail app.
I have my mail accounts set so that my Google mail account should send emails as my main ntlworld(virgin) account.
Until recently this all worked fine, but now all my emails are been delivered from my Google mail account. I have not changed any settings so it must either be a change to the gmail servers or the mail app.
Strangely using the gmail app the spoofing still works.
Anyone experienced this or know how to get things working again.
