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.

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
my gmail app is not deleting emails from my inbox on my computer just on the phone, any ideas how to fix this?

I assume you have IMAP configured correctly?

It's not going to.
One method is to use an email client that support IMAP. Then when you sync your email on your computer, the client will make the changes you have made on your phone and vise a versa.
Google search imap gmail for more info. I can't post a link yet.
My phone has has had issues with Gmail as of the last month or so.
Would not delete emails on my Gmail account, but would from within the Gmail application.
Read emails sometimes wouldn't be listed in the Gmail application on my phone.
Opening the Gmail application would automatically bring me to the first unread email rather than the inbox.
A simple phone reboot resolved the issues each time. It all usually happened when I had a phone uptime of 25+ hours.
Stock DI18, not rooted.
Use "m.google.com/sync" as your server, this turns your e-mail into push.

have u guys changed the account settings or sumthin???
cuz i can do whatever on my gmail in my phone....web based gmail(on pc) updates within a minute, if that.
make sure ur email/contacts/calendar, and junk is backed up. delete the account and try to set it back up. if the problem still persists, its possible u might have to hard reset..that has happened to me once b4

I also don't run into any problems. I use the Gmail app, and when I delete an email out of my inbox on my phone, it instantly happens on the web based email too? I have never configured IMAP, nor any other functions. Just used the stock gmail app that came with the phone.
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.

Hi,
I'm using the stock EMAIL app that comes on the phone (not sure if this is the stock Jelly bean app or a Samsung version). I'm using it because it works with my work's Exchange email/calendar nicely. I also have a Gmail account and my personal Email (my own website with email support) which is IMAP. The Exchange and Gmail seem to work fine. I have Exchange setup for push and I'll sometime get emails even before my desktop/Outlook see them. I don't use Gmail that much (only a couple emails a week) so I set it up to sync every 4 hours and that seems fine.
My personal IMAP account I get probably 30 email a day. I set up the program to sync every 10 minutes. It seems to just stop syncing for some reason I cant figure out. For example today, I received several emails overnight and a couple in the morning and the phone synced them fine. When I got to work and checked ~11am I had 5 messages waiting (using Thunderbird on my desktop) and when I checked the phone it didn't have them. If I go to the Inbox it says last sync was at 8:49am. The program will then do a sync and presto, all 5 messages popped up. But now all day the phone will not sync unless I go check my inbox which appears to force a sync.
So I know the information (account, password,..) are OK since it manually syncs no problem. I didn't try today but in the past if I change the sync interval to something else (5 or 15 minutes) it seems to sync for a while and then stop again. I tried deleting the account and then re-created it and that seemed to work for a while.
I have "sync while roaming set" and I do not set up a peak sync schedule so it should always be the same.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Here's a weird one.
Just got my Note 3 on Thursday. Woke up today and my email had stopped syncing.
Went into settings for the Exchange account to look at sync settings to see what was set up - and sure enough Saturday was not marked.
Selected Saturday so my email Sync settings were now set to 7 days a week between 6am and 10pm.
Went out of Sync settings to see if my email was updating - nope....no Sync...
Went back to Sync Schedule and Saturday was again unselected. Have tried to select many times - but every time I go back to the settings it is unselected???
Go figure...any ideas?
SAME !!
Don't worry, you are not the only one having the same issue
I have the same issue with Gmail, Drive and Calendar
bump: issue is still present!
or does someone have a solution?
you have a great alternatives such as: yahoo mail k9 mail etc:highfive:
Remove the account, readd and tick sync for ALL days. - Once you set up for example mon-tue-wed only then tick you want thurs-fri-sat it for some bizarre reason won't sync them. Once you remove the account and readd it'll fix.
