[Q] Stupid E-Mail! - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wondered if anybody got a solution for this, really a trivial thing, but annoying for me.
I got the settings on 100mails, and autorefresh every hour.
then lets say i refresh my email, I get 4 marketing emails etc that i delete, then the email loads in 4 old emails in the inbox that ofcourse go on the bottom of the list since they are the oldest ones.. have to manually mark them as read. if I delete these ones also, it just loads in 4 new old mails...
think this is because the stock mail is persistent on keeping 100mails in the inbox at all times. and there is no option to have for the last 14 days instead .. any workaround for this? i like the stock mail app.
im rooted, cwm and xposed in regards of a workaround.

Email disappears from inobx?!

I noticed that sometimes an email will disappear from my inbox, and then when I search for it, or for all email from that person, it shows up in the search results but without an inbox tag on it (no tag at all so where is it??), so I move it back to the inbox and then it's fine again.
I think it happens when I read the email on my phone and then mark it as unread. But not sure if that's the main reason as I do this often and this has only happened with a few.
I noticed the same issue but never said anything. I got an email from an ad I posted on craigslist and when I went to back to reply the email was gone. I know it has done this to me a couple of time, most have been from craigslist and others from personal emails. What gives?
WTF it just happened again ...when I get a gmail on my mytouch and click on to see what it says. The next thing i know the email disappears, i loogged into the my gmail account on my computer and search for that email and I find it in the trash? Why is it doing this?
this happens to me too on my hero roms. are you guys on hero roms too if so which ones, if not, are you on stock roms?
it is kind of random.
Just open the mail app then press:
Menu -> More -> Settings -> Send & Receive -> Download options
Then select "By days", then scroll down and select "All"
Be happy
Sorry for posting to an old thread but seemed to be quite relevant.
I was also having the problem with my mail expiring and understand what happens now thanks to this thread.
If I change to "All" in the download options, is there anyway to limit the initial download to a set number of days or do I have to manually clear my mailbox? I know, its my own fault for having such a messy inbox, but can't really face deleting over 500 mails on my phone
Thanks for any help you can give.

How to delete all email messages?

My HD2 somehow today downloaded all my messages from my Yahoo account, all 7000+ messages from several years! Does anyone know:
(1) How to delete all these messages from HD2? One by one takes too long!
(2) How to prevent HD2 from downloading all the messages again? I checked my email setting. It sets to only download the past 3 days message. I have no idea how it can even download several years messages. I thought my HD2 experienced the sleep of death.
Thank you!

go into your inbox by going to your mail tab and click all messages. once there click menu and go to tools and there should be something that says clear "your account name" mine happens to be gmail. It will delete all your messages off your phone but not from the server( Yahoo) now for the second part I have not figured a way, sounds like you need to startt deleting some junk mail or make a new account
You might want to try moving all your older messages online to a separate folder..."archived" or something similar...which should keep them from being DL'd to your phone again.

Serious GMAIL help.

Hey guys,
I hope i can get some user insight on this. I have found this to be very odd and confusing in my gmail for quite some time.
My gmail app in my nexus s shows that some unread mail is in the INBOX. eg:Inbox(2)
when i click in it, it doesnt show it. However when i go to labels, ALL MAIL the unread items are in there.
Why wouldnt they show the item in Inbox and i have to dig through labels to find it?
also ive noticed in wifi and sometimes in 3g/2g, sending mail gets hung up and never attempts to resend email, i inspected my outbox and show 5 emails i thought i sent out like a month ago! still showing 'sending...' in read, which is extremely dissapointing because they were important!
im slowly boiling over between these two situations and would GREATLY appreciate it if someone can help...somehow. I heavily rely on email and im so thrown off by this
Many thanks!
My best guess is that the unread emails are older emails. E.g., the GMail app only fetches the first 25 emails, but the unread emails are no. 57 and 63. So, you have so scroll down to load more messages to view these unread emails.
I really wish the GMail app had a setting to show only unread emails.
Is this just ur gmail app? Did u try clearing data via settings?

Had the same issue on my evo and thats what I had to do to fix it. Sometimes phone and gmail get out of sync.

You may have your gmail setup to only show your priority inbox instead of the regular inbox. I ran into that same problem before.

[Q] Gmail Refresh Bug

Hi Guys,
Quite often I see that the Gmail app on my N7 (second generation) does not show the latest emails even after a complete sync. I have to switch between folders (say from Inbox to Priority-Inbox, and back to Inbox) to see the new emails. I know I am not the only to see this issue as I have seen a few redditors complaining about it as well, but I was wondering if any know of a solution to this problem.
Most often i have to do the folder switch trick as I do not know if the list of emails is up to date. This is a big annoyance.
Thanks,
nitro
I've never had problems with Gmail...
on an other note, you're posting this under the wrong forum, this should be in Questions and Answers
I have found no way to check all you mail accounts at once in "combined view" in the mail program. You need to go to each one and refresh it to check it.
Thats is of course if you DO NOT have your push setup.

Stock email app - archive gmail messages

I'm using the gmail app right now, but I'm trying to switch over to the stock app to take advantage of the aod email notifications (for the time being anyway....). I'm not sure if i'm missing something or I'm the biggest noob around or what, but I can't seem to archive new gmail messages from the inbox or the stock email app. My options are swipe right: Move,Set Reminder,Unread,Reply ... swipe left: Delete. I noticed if I move messages, I have to select a folder to put them in. This marks then as read, however, I would like to simply archive my messages and have them appear in 'All Messages' without having a label attached to them. Is this possible and I'm totally missing something? Or is this just gonna happen? I realize this is more of a standard email client, but given the amount of gmail accounts out there, this is something I would expect would be available for a google email account. I will stick to the Gmail app for now, but would be nice to know, even just to get the oad notifications, thanks.
ps - I searched the forums first, but if I missed the answer already, sorry.
tldr: Archive in Samsung mail client ... where is it?
Don't think you are going to get it with the stock app. However, when Nougat rolls out for the S7 I am hoping the AOD will also update to show all notifications.

Albeit a little late to reply to you, but I ran into the same issue.
The answer basically is that in Gmail terms, archiving a message means removing all tags from it.
You can do this on the Samsung mail app by "moving" it to "all messages" folder...it sucks, I know
Well, I'm not 100% to your liking, but I did not use either both gmail or samsung mail. I switched to bluemail. If you want, you should try

Jut be aware of the possible security issues using BlueMail

It's the same as on iPhones I think, where a gmail account on their default email client app will go straight to delete.
Moreover, as Yahoo app does the same (I think), the outlier might actually be Gmail which doesn't let you delete, but only archive emails.
