God damn this app is pissing me off! Every few minutes i get a notification that i have new email. I open the app and its the same damn emails i already marked as read. Few mintues later same thing all over again, sometimes it marks a few new ones as new that were read previously. Wtf!!
Can someone recommend a better email solution for these phones please?

Are you using a Corporate Email with this app or Gmail/Live/Yahoo?

Just a regular cox, comcast, at&t kind of email. My home email.
gmail works fine.
Interesting. I have my Client Location, and my Company email both tied in through the on-board S5 email app and have no issues. Both of which I use with Outlook or Office365 online. I'm sorry, I thought I would be able to have a suggestion for you. Other than perhaps slowing your push times, or sorting through the emails at time of receipt. Good luck to you.
I think it is because it is based upon email count, not time, such as 30 days, which is annoying. I miss the checkbox always there to mark as read, now you have to hit setting to get select, so annoying.

You should select S5 email (Other mails), not corporate one, and select "automatic push" so it will only notify you when new mail arrive.

Check out Nine. I use it for corporate email, but think it's a great client overall.

This. I thought that I was just gonna be using Nine to bypass the exchange security stuff but I really like it. Enough to where I'll probably use it on all future devices even if I can use stock without exchange security enabled.

You can get the checkboxes back. In the app go to settings>display> uncheck "Hide checkboxes." Works fine here. Once you have that activated, you select whichever message(s) you want to mark as read using the checkboxes then push the button on the bottom right that looks like a little open envelope to mark as read.

Not sure if there is a way to change this but the same thing happens on both my and my wife's G1. If I get an email to my gmail account I get the notification like I'm supposed to, but only the initial email from any given mail chain gives me a notification. If I reply to it, and they reply back again I receive no notification.
I've checked the settings and I see no way to change this. Am I missing something or is there nothing I can do about it?
Are you coming all the way out of them mail when you have read it, (pressing the back button till at homescreen)???
Additionally what ROM are you using is it stock or modded??
I've stopped using the default GMail app the moment I discovered K9 Mail.

Hmm, I must have missed something. I'll check it out again.
I have the same problem, after I've had my first notification I dont get anymore until I've cleared the top bar notification. I would like a way to get a notification with every email even if I've not cleared the last one.
I've switched to the HTC exchange app which does notify you with every email however I dont really like that mail as much as the gmail one.
Can anyone help?
Is there a way to have all your email accounts show up in one spot or an app that does it for you? Also on my BB8330 there was an auto turn off/on feature that turned your phone off at a certain time and back on again at a designated time. Does the Hero have the same capability or an app? Sorry for all the questions.

You can connect just about any emai account to the 'Mail' application that you have, you don't have to check g-mail through the gmail app. If you use the Mail app you just have to change the IMAPI settings on the gmail website.
Auto on and Off like a BB? - Never used it when I had one. Seemed kinda pointless lol.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about a unified inbox, like what is possible on the Blackberry. I'm not sure if that can be done or not. There is this great feature on the Market though, it's called "Search". It's amazing.

Like the gmail account you need to use the phone
Then you have a unified inbox, separate inboxes via labels, a favorites folder across all inboxes using the starred feature, and battery saving push mail alerts. Other than Exchange I see no reason to use the actual mail app as it's inferior.
Blackberry users need to realize Gmail = BIS, without the 7% downtime.

I'm having troubles with pop email accounts, I'm not being notified for new emails, they do not show up in my inbox until i manually open the email client - I have my client to auto check every 5 minutes, yet if I don't check for half a day and then login I have emails from all times of the day being loaded into my inbox.
my friend is having the issue, was wondering if anyone else was?
It's with hotmail, yahoo and ever business emails servers.
suggestions?

nobody noticed that there email isn't polling when it should be?
If you are using an app-killer, make sure your email app isnt killed with it, since that would eliminate the option to auto-fetch emails.

Let your computer do POP3 work.

On the first day I got the phone, before doing anything (root) to it, I also noticed that it didn't poll. Had it set for 5 minutes, background data on and it did nothing. Never polled once all day.
So rather than waste my time with something (else) from SE that didn't work I just installed K-9 Mail and never looked backed since
i have all my accounts forwarded to my gmail which i believe is push on android phones (someone correct me if im wrong), although this probably doesnt save battery life, i prefer having my email pushed

agree...just let gmail take care of it
I prefer to reply or send emails from my actual email account, I did use k9 for a while and it was working and i do like all the additional advanced features it offers. All I need is basic send/receive from a basic client and the android email app is suppose to work like that.
thanks so far guys

The regular email client is a bit lacking. Your issue isn't common though. Must be just missing something in the setting somewhere...if not you could always do the total reset on the phone i guess if you really had too.
I recently just caved in and made the full switch to Gmail for all of my accounts. Much easier to manage. It IS full push email I believe, plus imap makes things so much easier it's not even comparible.
It's too bad the gmail app on the phone won't let you send from multiple addys, but the web interface is good for sending from a diff addy in a pinch.

Is anyone else having problems getting alerts or notifications for new email that hits exchange?
New email flows in but the notification bar never shows it, despite it being set to do so.
For whatever it's worth, exchange notifications do show up in the status bar for me.
They work for me as well. It must be something unique with your config.
They work for me sometimes, and sometimes not.
I am hoping the Verizon update due out anytime will help.
Darn. Just noticed after last nights update and reboot that I did have a new message come in with no status bar notification.

There is a thorough Motorola support forum thread on this subject. It looks like Moto really dropped the ball on pre-release exchange testing. You should consider yourself lucky, I can't even connect to Exchange .
It's looking as if the SSL doens't even work, so if you unckeck SSL, it still looks for the cert. We don't have SSL here, so we're out of luck...they claim to be working on a fix.

This is a major oversight, I mean come on, I know that their PCS division at Moto moved to Gmail, but the rest of their company is still on exchange how could they mess this up out of the box?
I get some notifications, like 1 in 20 emails. Really frustrating.
I so I set mine to sync to the last week. First time I go in it does that slowly. Next time I hit refresh it sync's the whole damn inbox (but not my other folders). Then I can't receive anymore mail (push worked the first time) which I'm assuming is because the inbox is full on the phone... maybe.
No ssl on our server either so i couldn't connect. Had to resort to spending the money on touchdown but it works so well i can't complain. I also don't mind keeping the work stuff separate

Did you make sure push was turned on? I noticed that my exchange account was defaulted to push off.

I'm having major issues as well. To be honest this really impacts the useablilty of the device for me. We are very email centric where I work. My iPhone on the other hand somethings notifies me before the Outlook client on my laptop... Grrr.

I have been using Seven, works great, just a bit of a hassle to have to have two apps handling different types of email accounts.
This issue has been present while using WIFI. Turn off wifi and restart your phone. The phone will start getting pushed mail again.
Really annoying...
Got my new Galaxy S4. What is up with the email app? are you able to have it push email? i dont want it to poll every 5 minutes, i need my emails instantly...
I turned on sync in the email app, which apparently this is not push, anyways, throughout the day when i open the email app i get a popup saying email sync disabled. Why?
Can anyone confirm that the search function works?? I have my email set up as an imap account, whenever i want to search something in my email i get 0 results, and if i hit the search on server, it does not bring up anything either. This happens with all my email accounts on my phone, and my wife's accounts on her GS4. Any idea why??
I have a rooted S4, not using a custom rom. I have tried K9 email but it is just plain ugly. I actually like how the stock email app looks but nothing works!
I searched all over the internet and i dont see anything on most of these issues so im assuming im doing something wrong if nobody else is talking about this. Please, any help would be awesome. My wife wants her iphone back because of this.
I use the stock email app with no issues. I have it set to recieve from my work exchange account, my outlook and gmail accounts. All are push, and all of mine are searchable with no issues.
You may try erasing the account, and then resetting it. I know my outlook account is also an exchange server, but the gmail I think is IMAP. All mine have the check box "sync email" checked, and I set all to push notifications. Be sure you are setting up the account in the email app itself, that may help.

Where do you see the email push setting? only see sync, and whenever i turn on sync, i get a popup a few hours later when i open the app that sync has been disabled. Even when i enable sync, it gives me the option for sync schedule for at most every 15 minutes.
As far as the search, i use godaddy imap and yahoo. I cant search anything out of what is showing when i open the app. It shows me default of i think 25 emails when i open the app and if i scroll to the bottom it starts to load more. When i do a search, it only searches through what is loaded and when i do continue searching on server i get nothing more. The only results is what is in the 25 loaded messages, or 50 messages if i scroll down at let it load more...

The email app on the iphone is far better than the stock email app on the SGS4. I think the stock email app on the SGS4 is utter crap, at least with IMAP. Maybe it works better with exchange. I use Kaiten, which is an upgraded/updated version of K9. Another one that I looked at briefly was AquaMail.

The thing is i actually really like the email app on the GS4. I think the layout is nice and the email app is one of the few times i actually feel that the air view feature is really useful. The problem is, is that it is not reliable. I need my emails instantly and the email app is not getting it for me. I just figured out the search problem i was having. If i just change in the settings messages to load from 25 to "total" all of my messages will be there and search is fine. I still wish there is a way to have my emails come instantly rather than every 15 minutes. Aside from the push issue, what else do you dislike about the stock app that the other apps have? The only thing i noticed on the iphone is the push option...

Four major issues are (and there are other minor issues):
- Lack of IMAP IDLE (push)
- When you reply to someones message, the text in their message is reformatted in your reply (font changes and line spacing changes). Looks unprofessional for work email.
- html hyperlinks are sometimes not properly parsed and are unclickable. I get a news service hyperlinks to articles. None of the hyperlinks work on the stock email client. I have to forward the message to gmail or something to click on the hyperlinks.
- emails sent from stock email client do not sync properly and have a different format on my outlook client.
Kaiten has none of these problems. These are not problems with the iphone app either.

plus, to update on the syncing being disabled. I set the sync to on, reboot my phone, opened the mail app and i get the pop up that says sync disabled. I open the settings and the sync option is no longer checked.
Just tried Kaiten...It was downloading so many copies of my emails. It showed each email at least 4 times...uninstalled...
They are correct, the one I looked at was my Outlook.com email address, and my work address. The gmail address shows the same thing as yours.
I guess the news hasn't gotten around fully. Gmail accounts to do not support push with anything other than the native stock android gmail app anymore (since, when exactly, I don't remember. March or April of this year?). In that particular case, it's not the fault of the Samsung email app. No other app besides the official "gmail" app will receive emails by push from a gmail account, and that includes any email applications on any other system from iphone to any other operating system. Blame gmail.
The only thing I miss by using the stock email app is that I can't get it to come up in the combined inbox by default...I have to select it each time which is a bummer.
