[FIXED- see below]
This past 2 weeks, I've been looking for a new email app...... I've tried about 25 or 30 different ones. Today, for some reason, none of them would log into my main Google account? I can access it through Chrome (on my phone and PC) and using the Gmail app, but no other email app? It used to work until today? I've tried 5 different email apps and none work with my main account?
Did I trip some security feature?
[FIXED]
More like "resolved".....It started working this morning?
I tried all the following: 1) restored my TWRP backup 2) tried several email apps 3) changed my security (password, reset devices, a bunch of other stuff) 4) Restored my A7 to stock 5) flashed 2 custom ROMs = Nothing got it working, so I figured I'd work on it in the morning. Woke up this morning and tried it, and it worked firs try.....There's 4 hours of my life I'll never get back, Lol Must have been an issue with my actual Google account authenticating with different apps?

for some reason since yesterday i cannot add more google accounts to my epic4g?? i stalls for a few minutes then i get "cant establish a reliable data connection to the server. i tried using wifi instead of the internet on my phone, i get the same issue..then i restarted my phone a few times...still the same problems even until today. i had already 4 gmail accounts synced, so i thought i had maxed out...i deleted 1 and tried to readd a new one, same issue...whats worst was i couldnt even get my old one back in there now! anyone having the same issues lately? thanks
I had same issue. Only I had one google and one google account synced through exchange. When I swapped it to a google. Yes first deleting it then re-adding. I got this issue. To make things worse I lost the ability to install apps from market. It took 3 hard resets to then allow me to add 1 google account. After installing all apps I wanted I went ahead and added the other account but not as a google instead as exchange again. Wasn't worth the headache again. No idea why something so simple has become so complex.

I've found other references to this problem both here and on AndroidForums.com, but haven't found a resolution yet. Looking for anyone who can lend a hand.
I've been running the Epic Experience ROMs for the last couple of months, both on Eclair and Froyo with no problems.
Last week, I had to change my password to access my Exchange email at work. Ever since the minute I changed my password, the stock Email program within EE FCs whenever I try to access that account.
I have changed the password from within the "Accounts" section of my phone. No dice.
I have deleted and re-added that account, still no go.
Now, when I go into that email app, I can't see any of the accounts that I've added there. The screen just displays nothing, and eventually FCs.
From what I've read, several people have had this problem with Froyo, both with stock builds and with custom ROMs.
Do I have remedies other than moving to a different email app such as K9? I like the stock app so that I can sync calendars, contacts, etc etc. I'd REALLY like to keep it and keep it working.
Ideas?
I've been on android for many years, and know my way around for sure. I've been running the CM10.1 nightlies with the faux123 kernel for quite a while and everything was working well. Suddenly in the last few days, Gmail sync stopped working. The odd thing is that Exchange emails are getting pushed, Chrome to phone works, calendar, browsing etc. all work. Gmail will eventually sync, but I need to open the Gmail application app and force a sync.
Here is what I've already tried
- Disable and enable gmail sync
- Clear cache
- Clear data
- Installed stock 4.2.2 ROM (bigxies)
- Reinstalled CM10.1 after a factory reset
- Installed stock again
- Reinstalled new baseband and radio
I'm now running stock 4.2.2 and still can't get Gmail sync to work. Can anyone offer any advice?
When reinstalling/changing ROMs are you restoring account system data with TitaniumBackup? I had one account not syncing for like a month across three different ROMs. Had to just delete and add all my accounts again to fix it.
You haven't tried removing and re-adding your Google account?

No, only restoring apps + app data. I never back up system data.

Yes, I did this first (forgot it in my list), and did this when I did a factory reset with stock ROM twice as well.
This happened to me whenever I tried restoring Gmail app+data from Ti Backup. Whenever I wipe, I have to uninstall Gmail and redownload from Google Play.
It was odd. I finally got it working but turning off Gmail sync for 24 hours, and then back on. It was the oddest thing, but I guess it fixed itself.
2 weeks ago I flashed PA 3.6 on my N4. after a day or so i noticed that i was not receiving any incoming emails on a Hotmail or exchange account. BUT if i went into the email account and manually hit the "sync" button emails would populate. I was previously on a PA 3.XX Rom and had no issue.
I installed the new rom, wiped cache, installed Gapps update, Fix and still nothing. The only new app i installed was Swipe, i uninstalled that, cleared email app cache and still nothing unless i manually sync. I then moved up to PA 3.65 yesterday and the same issue. So i decided to delete all the email accounts and re-create them. Now it lets me create an account and verified the credentials on the accounts but never completes a "sync" and seems to be stuck in a constant loop.
This is on wifi or the network. Anyone have similar issues? i have found no posts regarding this. Worst case i could just do a factory reset and try that if i have to.
Thanks!
I get this all the time with new ROMs. The last ROM that acted up was MakoColors, before that was MIUI, then PA before that. It must just take time, because my Nandroid backups (I rotate between PA and MIUI every week or so; I love them) seem to be working. I encounter it every single time I try a new ROM, then it just magically fixes itself after a few days. I don't understand it either, OP. I have a Gmail and a Hotmail account; the Hotmail account is the only one that has problems (makes sense that the Gmail one wouldn't act up). I have no idea how to fix it though. It's quite annoying.
I wish that was the case. I had 3.6 installed for about 9 days and it was still the same story. I've tried to change from push to a different interval and back to push and same outcome.
Ok, I gotta bump this thread because I'm now getting this problem with the 4.3 leak. My email refuses to sync no matter what I do. It's a Hotmail account. Anyone know what could be the cause? Stuck on the sync screen with no emails or anything on my phone.

I fixed my issue by doing a factory wipe. nothing else worked no matter how many times I flashed.
let it in peace, it will sync. this is not a problem with a rom, not pa or miui or whatever you flash - it just takes times. i recently bought my mom a macbook air, it took one hour until her mails were there, when i set up one of my android device i just put them away to allow them to get sync their stuff. i noticed especially in the legacy mail app this can take quite long but you can be certain there is no difference between stock android and PA in that regard.
I flashed pa 3.65 and it worked, I just had to start clean. dirty flash was producing the same result every Rom I flashed.
I had this happen to my Nexus 7. For about a month. No play store. It linked fine, I could go into the play store on the N7, just couldn't install from the browser. A little inconvenience, but no biggy. Today I wanted to squash it. lol.
What I did was clear data and uninstall updates from settings-apps-all. Then opened up the play store and saw it was the old version of play, which was fine. Exited out and went back into the play store. I got a message that I needed to enable or download the play services app from the play store, which is weird because I already have it. So what I did there was clear all data in that app and sign into the play services app. Again, exited out and went back into the play store. Play updated automagically, but I still couldn't see the N7 listed under my devices in my browser. I let it go for about an hour because I got busy at work. Decided that if it didn't show up by the end of the day, I would factory reset and redo everything. So I began my titanium backup.
Before that, I let TB and went into the market update helper to attach the apps again to the market. Then I started my apps and data backup just in case I needed to do a factory reset.
About a hour later, I see the N7 back under my settings.
Hi, guys
I've updated my 910F to 5.1.1, and coincidentally - although probably not - I started having problems with Exchage/ActiveSync accounts in Gmail.
I always sideload the Exchange Services APK and configure my work e-mail as an extra account in the Gmail app. However, ever since upgrading to 5.1.1, my work account routinely and randomly vanishes: all e-mails disappear from the app, calendar won't show, and going into the "Accounts" setting does not show the usual entry. It is completely erased, and I have to reenter all of the account info to get it up and running again. However, it's always been just a matter of time (sometimes hours, sometimes day) until the problem strikes again.
Now I know there are a great many variables that could be at play here, but my questions are:
a) Has anyone been through the same situation?
b) How do I go about trying to figure out what is deleting the account from my device? Developers, how can I objectively debug/troubleshoot this?
Thank you for your help!

Ok so you stated that you got the 910f version and running 5.1.1 but is it stock rom or custom?
Since galaxy s2 I have never used stock roms as they are always buggy in one way or another. My advise is to use custom rom. If you don't want to use custom roms then you should get another stock rom. If you are running example COH4 then try ether a previous build or next build or even try and re flash the current rom.
I am on stock 5.0.1. 910f and I am having troubles with the gmail app syncing
With my hotmail account.All emails vanish (inbox-sent etc).
I have deleted and reconfigured my hotmail account through the gmail
App and also deleted it's data but the problem persisted.
I just can't get it to sync with other accounts other than gmail.
I think it is aproblem of the gmail app itself.
I have since switched to the stock samsung email client and everything
works fine!
@Zionator
It's my experience that custom ROMs allways end up having some quirks of their own; also, I'm on COI3 which is rock solid so far, in every other department.
@snatch_bill
On stock 5.0.2, I never had any problems. Also, while it works fine, the Samsung e-mail app is absolutely horrible, especially when compared with the Gmail client.
So please: does anyone have the least bit of an idea as to how to debug the problem? I'm not even really concerned with solving the problem right now, just understanding it.
Cheers,
Got the same problem. The exchanges account disappears after some days completely. It disappears in gmail and also in the account settings. I'm also using android 5.1.1 on my Note 4.
After reconfiguration the account works again for a few days until it disappear again.
Same problem here with the s6:

Seems to be a problem with the samsung rom. Guess we need to wait until samsung fix it.
