Anybody having an issue of the stock email app not syncing?
I have tried clearing data and cache of the app multiple times and re-setting up my account.
The app will download my emails the first time round after setting up.
However after that, new emails won't show up even when pressing the manual sync.
I am very sure my settings are correct as the stock email app on my S4 with the same settings are working fine.

I had a similar problem, I couldn't get push email to maintain a connection so I only got mail when I opened the app. I had initially configured it for timed sync then changed it to push only. No amount of messing with the settings would fix it!
I wiped my phone to get the MJ1 update and now my push email works, so maybe the update or maybe freshly inputting the settings did the trick?
ME TOO!
I am having this same problem. Anyone know the fix outside of an update? I am on AT&T Note 3
Same on t-mobile. I can manually refresh but it is not downloading messages even though I have push settings on.

Same problem here i have no idea what to do Im using K9 but it sucks
Rooting my AT&T phone with the MI9 firmware fixed my push email problem, but I have no idea why, or if it was just a coincidence, or what. It's been working just fine for the last two days using K-9.
Its very simple
1. Make sure you use imap and automatic (Push) is selected while u set up the accout
2 Make sure you have sync enabled under the settings /device/notification panel/then drag the sync button to notification panel and make sure its green

It's only "very simple" if it actually works, which in this case, it doesn't, necessarily. The settings on my device were correct, but that didn't stop push email from being completely unreliable.
Same on EE Note 3 (UK)
I have the same issue with my Note 3 stock email - multiple IMAP accounts, and only the default account syncs properly, despite ensuring all of the settings are the same for each account (I have 'push' enabled for all of them, with phone set to sync, obviously it's not THAT simple...).
It's definitely the stock email - I installed K9 and it works fine, but as mentioned above looks cack. When I re-set account settings on the stock email, it syncs properly initially, but doesn't continue to do so. I really hope this doesn't need a factory reset, just spent 2 weeks getting it set up how I like... Disappointed that something so fundamental doesn't work on a supposed business-oriented phone, not to mention continuing lack of Google Tasks integration on S-planner...
Any updates or did the latest FW update change anything? It didn't for me.
I have the same issue with manual refreshes on my IMAP email account. Was about to post a thread but apparently I am not alone. I have another Hotmail account on the stock mail app that have been sync'ing fine nevertheless. I don't have any problem with the Gmail app either.
For me I found 2 really dirty ways to get it to manually refresh. May not work for others.
(1) Scroll to the bottom of the mail list and drag upwards. I have a lot of residue email in my mailbox upstream so when I do that it loads more email, and by doing so it seems to get a chance to synchronize with the IMAP account. Of course, I will get more and more old email on the phone.
(2) Change the number of email to download in settings and then hit the refresh icon seems to work for me.
Both are bad. Or should we just use another email app? Any good ones to recommend?
Should set d email manually or should try with other account

No, the problem is not with push email or automatic refresh. It's even manual refresh with the button click that is not working. And since I can get it to refresh by using dirty tricks without touching account credentials, it's not account misconfiguration either.

Tried this, it makes no difference, IMAP is still not working.
Not quite sure why you wrote this four times, it doesn't make it any more correct or helpful.

So I set up my Gmail account and everything was working fine, then after I rebooted my mail wont show up! I though the account might have been deleted somehow but no its still there, it wont show my mail though, when I press inbox It only has 2 options, SMS/MMS and Setup Email, no option for my Gmail. Also when I go to account setting, my Gmail is there, not sure what the problem is. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Did you set it up using ActiveSync or creating a new inbox?

Did you install SWYPE?
I had the same problem with it cos it seems in that leaked version passwords and general entries arent saved regulary. It just saves entries by time.
Use the normal keyboard and your accounts wont disapper in the tab.
The account is still there.
just go to email tab and click ->menu->account settings
Then you will see the accounts and when you click on it you will see that the important settings are missing (like imap and smtp server settings)
You can now enter the settings again and the account and inbox will be accessable again from your email tab.
My hint:
Just uninstall SWYPE and use the regular keyboard.
Hey all, I'm lost on this, maybe I cannot find the feature.
How do you schedule syncing? I can go into settings-accounts & sync, but I don't see anyway to set it up to lets say automatically sync ever hour or every 2 hours.
I'll use my gmail accounts as an example. How can I get them to sync on a schedule, not when the phone itself wants to sync them. Thanks!
Yeah I think I'm a moron becasue I coudn't find the sync buttons anywhere. In my G1 it was pretty easy to find, but not on this phone.
Think button is in accounts, scheduling does not exist here. I think this feature is in droid x
If you go to accounts and do a long touch on your selected account the settings for it will appear. Within this you can change the frequency that your email syncs.
Gmail syncs automatically and its push, that means as soon as you get an email the phone will download it, there is no time to set.
the other accounts (via email app) you can just press the menu button and go to settings when you are in the account and tell it how often you want it to check (5, 10, 15 mintues, etc)

Im pretty sure Gmail does not have "push". Unless they changed it in TouchWiz, Gmail never had push notifications. I use "Tasker" to schedule my syncing every morning at 4am.
I am not sure how long it's been, but it's been a while. I had a blackberry and HD2 and if you use their Gmail app instead of the email app native from the phone, it will be push and that is why there is no setting where you can change how frequent you want it to check. I can send myself an email from my work to my gmail and my phone will alert me whithin 5 seconds no matter how often I send the email... so it is push
More of a jelly bean question than an n7 one really, but either way...
I'm desperately trying to find a way to arrange for my work email to be pushed during work hours and not synched at all during other times. Don't want to resort to touchdown as it's so ugly. Thought I'd finally found something workable using tasker and the synker plugin. I can set this up to disable sync on the exchange account at a chosen time.
Doesn't work though
Testing the situation manually, you can go into account settings and manually untick email under the exchange account yet it will still sync email because the frequency (separate setting inside the email app) is set to push.
Am I wrong to think that disabling email syncing under accounts should actually disable email syncing!?
Thoughts anyone?

The main sync is only for google. Try a 3rd party scheduling app like MyProfiles or something along those lines. Good luck!

Use touchdown, works great for this. But sure about the ugly part.

I can understand my notifications not being immediate but 10 minute delay is crazy. I this isn't a S4 issue because it's happpenef on my evo and HTC one x. Anyone else notice this? Will using the Email app reduce lag I get in the gmail app ?

I temporarily left notifications on for both the android e-mail app and the gmail app, both set to sync every 15 mins. the gmail app notifies much faster every time.
I want to use the stock e-mail app because I can move e-mails from my inbox to folders, where on the gmail app I think you can only apply labels. the notification speed caused me to keep the gmail app on for notifications and I just go into stock e-mail to clean up my inbox.

Actually Push email saves battery the most vs Sync every 5, 10 or whatever. In Sync mode the phone pulls data while in push mode the email client is sleep until it gets a ping from the server.

how do you configure gmail to push?
in both apps the fastest settings I see is to sync every 15 minutes. gmail app usually notifies new mail faster than 15 minutes, and the e-mail app seems to take longer than 15 mins.

If you mean the native Gmail app then it pushes automatically no configuration needed, but in the Email client when you configure a gmail account account you simply don't have the option of push. I believe the quickest pull(Fetch) is 5 min.

If you need to use the email client over the gmail app then yes disable sync inside gmail and untick notification.
Note: I'm not sure If i was clear but using gmail app saves you more battery(push)
Push=batter battery life (Gmail app)
Pull or Fetch= not so much.(email client)

Since the update to kitkat, my S4 has been syncing and downloading email messages right around midnight (11:42 last night, 12:04 the night before, etc.) I have a pop3 email account set up (Comcast) and sync is turned on except that I have sync settings set to manual. Before kitkat, it would only retrieve email when I opened the app and actually hit the sync button. What changed in kitkat to cause it to retrieve email late at night? I've checked the settings and searched the forum. Any ideas? I could turn sync off entirely, but would have to turn it on each time I want to manually retrieve my email.

Press on gmail app from the phone and it will pop up sync email enable or disable. Uf you enable then them. Do for serveal time order it to eat. I have the same issues. Be careful with pop setup it pulling everything from the servers and transfer to ur phone without make copy to the servers, unless that is what u want.

I have the same issue, two email accounts set to manual sync that automatically pull emails once a day without me opening the program.
The only solution I've found is to turn on sync each time you want to check your email and then off again when you're done. This is a hassle and I wish there was a better solution. Something has to be triggering the event.
I'm also having this same problem.
