Anyone having send/recieve issues with the gmail app?
I just tried sending a bunch of photos to a seperate account and recieved the message twice, but sending through the android email app over IMAP seems to send normally.
Can't for the life of me see what the problem is.
Hi, I just got my Magic a couple of days ago and I have noticed issues with google mail.
A couple of times now I have checked the mail through the google mail icon on my phone and it has shown Inbox (1) but just doesn't download the message to my phone.
I have tried sync'ing it but it just takes forever to come down. No issues with signal at the time so not really sure what is wrong. One time the email did turn up after I manually sync'ed about 5 times and the other time I logged onto my google mail via the browser rather then the app and read the email, (that email never did arrive on my phone!?)
Hopefully some kind email genius will come along and help us both ;0)
Well I've noticed after setting the email account up through the android app that gmail seems to sync properly now and notify about new mails, though I haven't gotten around to testing if the send is working properly or not on the gmail app.
Incidentally I also switched down to 2G to save battery, but I don't think that'd have an impact...
I have four Gmail accounts syncing and set to "As items arrive". But I fail to see any sort of option that let's me get a notification/vibration when items do arrive, like the Outlook one.
Can anyone tell me where this notification setting lives? Right now, if I get Gmail items arriving, I don't know until I unlock the phone and check if numbers have popped up on the tile.
Also, are they syncing by WiFi when the screen is off?
I'm not understanding. Since I use only gmail maybe you are teaching me something...
What does the phone do when it is off when a normal POP message is collected vs how an imap is collected vs how a exchange is collected?
How do those differ from gmail?
My gmail makes a noise, a short vibrate and then the tile indicates the number of unread.
Does outlook, exchange, pop, or imap act differently?

When I unlock my phone, the WiFi status icon animates and "reconnects". Leading me to believe that when my phone is locked, it isn't using WiFi to do any syncing. This worries me.
My Exchange Outlook makes noise, vibrates, and updates the tile. But my Gmail things only seem to be updating the tile - so I was hoping there was a setting somewhere I just overlooked...
You know what, perhaps the secondary accounts dont get the same notifications as the primary or something weird. Maybe commit to a hard reset, setup only the gmail and see how it acts...I know there is goofy stuff with the calendar that is shown as the main one...
Not sure. I think we will get far more interaction int he at&t forums on certain items but it feels unnatural to leave my precious...my precious! XDA
I have one Windows Live, and 3 Gmail accounts linked to my phone. All my accounts give me the same alert sound I chose in the "ringtones & sound" settings of the phone. All are set to receive as sent. Ive tested, and showed coworkers a few times, emails always seem to arrive with in 30 seconds of sending an email to one of my accounts.

My exchange (work), windows live, yahoo, and gmail accounts are all working in terms of getting the notification via sound and a number of unread messages on the tile.
What is weird is that when I check the lock screen, I see icons for any unread exchange, windows live and yahoo e-mail. I never see an icon for unread gmail on the lock screen, I have to swipe up and check the tiles.
Is this what everyone else is seeing? No big deal, but I would like to see an icon for unread gmail on the lock screen. Oh, I have the Samsung Focus.

I have gmail, WLive and Exchange and I get unread count on lock screen for all three of them on my Focus. I have the alert sound turned off so can't be sure about it.

Thanks for the feedback dhan911. I may delete my two gmail accounts from the Focus and set them up again.

I think WP7 only shows your first 3 email accounts on the lock screen, each in a different position along the bottom.
I have 4 email accounts syncing with my phone (in this order): Gmail, School mail (essentially Gmail), Work 1 email (Exchange), and Work 2 email (Exchange). I can see notifications on the lock screen from my Gmail, school mail, and my work 1 email, but not my work 2 email. I do receive notification sound and vibration for all, however.

Thanks bremic9188, I am seeing icons for three e-mail accounts on the lockscreen, but am getting notifications for all five accounts. Sounds like that just may be the deal.
Another thought. If you are setting it to "As Items Arrive", why not try setting it up as an OutLook Exchange account?
First, delete the previous Gmail Account.
Now, setup a new account, select 'Outlook'. Use your Gmail info. When it fails, enter Your Full Email Address as the User name. When it fails again, select 'advanced' and enter 'm.google.com' as the Server, then select 'show all settings'. Now select any prefered settings, such as turning off Contacts and Calendar if prefered so it only grabs email. Probably change the Account name to Gmail, etc. Now hit 'sign in' and you should be set. It will operate exactly like an Exchange Account.
Hi guys. I currently use the gmail app for my gmail account and the typical email app for my outlook account. I have noticed that Gmail will eventually remove a notification from my task bar if I read the email somewhere on my computer. The email app, however, will just keep racking the new mail count up. I use outlook push notification, so I will get notifications for new mail while I am at work. I typically check them on my computer, since I am there. When I go to my phone after several of these, I will have a notification on my phone saying that I have X new emails. When I open the notification, they will all be read.
Has anybody else experienced this issue? Is this just a limitation of using outlook push notification?
For GMail, I get my emails instantly. Just wondering if I have Hotmail, do I get emails instantly too? Thanks.
I had a problem with this, too. You have to set it up in the Email app and set the push notifications for each account you have.
I had a problem at first because I have a Gmail account and a Hotmail account on my phone. Everything worked, but when I got a new email from Gmail, I also received a notification from the Gmail app as well as the Email app. It took me a little bit to figure out how to get rid of that annoyance (go into Gmail app and turn off notifications).

Try the Outlook.com app.
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.outlook
It has push capabilities.
You have to have sync enabled as well if you don't already (a.k.a. Settings>Data>auto-sync app data). Without sync enabled it won't matter if you have your exchange accts, Hotmail, etc... set to Push in the stock email app. I get my corporate exchange acct, and hotmail messages, more or less "right away".
I don't know if I am missing a setting but many times I will have no email notification and there are new unread emails in the gmail app. I have exchange and gmail addresses setup and I think it happens with all of them or it is just the exchange emails.
I went into all the gmail email settings and selected notification for every email and not just once, the exchange emails do not have this option. I also have vibrate selected but I feel no vibration when they come in. I put the gmail app on priority notification but that didn't help.
I have a 5X also that worked perfectly up until the December update, then my email notifications broke on that phone. I ordered a 6P because I wanted to try it out and I did not accept the December update thinking that was the problem but the 6P has the same email notification issue.
Anyone else getting intermittent email notifications? Is there a setting I am missing or something? Could this be because of doze?
Thanks

I'm beginning to think that it's an Exchange Server 2010 issue...as I've noticed that all hosted Exchange providers are going to be migrating to an Outlook.com environment. If your Exchange Server provider is on 2010, they'll likely be migrating you over the next 3-6 months...
If you want this before that time, you'll need to move your Exchange email manually to Outlook.com and be responsible for your email backups.
I believe that the same holds true for corporate Exchange environments.

I'm also getting lack of notifications from the GMail app (official) and it's kind of annoying. Any Fix?
Count me in. Tried a clear cache in Gmail, tried phone wipe cache but no difference.
I've seen similar problems around. I have my gmail IMAP accounts and 3 POP accounts and none of them syncs. I have to manually refresh the gmail app.
I'm another user with the issue. stock gmail and not rooted.
No notifications, wonder if gmail is having issues.
It has to be something on Google's end. As of yesterday, I'm having the issue with both gmail and inbox. Tried clearing data, disabling & reenabling sync, etc.. My wife has been complaining about exchange issues since last week.
Check to make sure you have gmail syncing on in accounts under the phone settings. Also make sure you did not turn off notifications from the app manager.
I am experiencing this also. I think other google push notifications are flaky too. I know my Google Opinion Rewards app has stopped notifying me. I open the app and that is when I see surveys.

I am seeing this issue on both Nexus 6P and 5X, with both exchange accounts, and actual Gmail accounts
Another thing I find odd is this... I use Nova Launcher with unread counts. Nova will show me I have an unread message, but I never get notified from Inbox.

I too am having this issue, I was thinking it was an issue with Google Fi being that I noticed the issue about the time when they replaced my SIM card due to another issue. But now this sounds like it might be a bigger issue.
I just went into the mail app, then to my google account, I then disabled and re-enabled notifications and for the last half hour or so I have been receiving alerts for mail. can someone else test and see what your results are?
EDIT: I may have spoken too soon, I just received 2 emails and didn't receive alerts.
I am going to have to resort to using a third party email app, downloaded cloudmagic and setup my hotmail on it and notifications are working fine with that app. No gmail notification but when I open the Gmail app there is the new unread email. This is happening with exchange and gmail accounts.
Did a Google search and it appears this is a pretty wide spread issue with Nexus 6p and 5X owners.

I am a Moto X Pure owner and I've seen a couple MXPE users complaining about the same. So it's not device oriented, more a "stock" Android issue. At least as I haven't seen other device users having the same problem.
It's really frustrating as I have 4 e-mail accounts and I'm not used to checking them manually.
I went to Settings->Accounts and I disabled auto-sync, then re-enabled it. I got one mail on time after that, but at the time the screen was on. So can't be sure if it helped or not.
Same issues with devices running 6.0.1 but older devices running 5.1.1 have no issues at all. Gmail, IMAP, Nine all have delayed notification or no notifications unless I manually check and sync.
Here's a link to the to the issue tracker if anyone wants to star and comment to get this some more attention.

Just bought a new nexus 6p and set it all up. Using the default gmail app for all my accounts and I'm getting notifications for all other accounts except for gmail. It's strange. I get instant notifications for the same gmail account on my BlackBerry no issues. So it is an issue with the gmail app for Android. When can we expect a fix?

Mine has been good since disabling and re-enabling notifications under my account in the mail app, some messages seem to be delayed but I am getting alerts.
Open the mail app, open settings, select your email account, 3rd item down should be notifications and it should be turned on, touch it to turn it off, let it sit a few moments to register the change, touch it again to re-enable notifications. Repeat this for all email accounts (I also cleared the mail apps data in the main settings>apps menu) and I am working again.
please report back if this helped.

Cloudmagic seems to be the only app that has consistent notifications. Tried bluemail and typeapp and even those didn't work, cloudmagic is ok but it doesn't have the ability to swipe to the next email when inside a message.
same issue here. any news?
