Sync issues with Gmail

Basically, I get a notification of new mail on my phone before my web Gmail, which is normal. But when I read or delete an email from my phone, it doesn't sync properly with the normal Gmail client, because those emails are still unread.
I have a possible theory as to why this might be happening: From what I can remember, it seems like on FroyoMOD it was working fine, but any Gingerbread ROM I've been having this issue. Is it possible that because GB isn't really made for our phones, or the Gapps for GB are causing some sort of issue?
Thanks!

Having same issues. Gmail is not the only one having sync issues. In mine cm7 rc12 gb rom, even other apps such as yahoo mail, what's app, Google +, huddle are not notifying me anything even when I hv the background sync option on!

I think there might be something in build.prop that changes the sync. It is not always going to get everything right away as it only syncs every so often.

[app] hotmail?

Anyone found an APP that will work with Hotmail with a Captivate? Stock, tablet and even K-9 don't support it. There must be a decent one out there! Thanks!

I just forward my live account to my gmail.

Stock email app works like a charm with hotmail. I got 2 accounts configured under it and my local provider email also. Never had issues getting hotmail.
If you want to fully managed your hotmail (delete mails on server) then your right default email app on the cappy cannot do it but it can fetch the mail.
EDIT: Tried delete on the server option and it works. Fluke bug probably.

Do a Google search on "Hotmail activesync android" and you should be on your way use stock email to do push Hotmail. server deletion is supported last time I checked.

Correct .. last time i tried it failed miserably.. maybe just a bug or a bad connection.

Haven't tried it personally, but I do use Maildroid for gmail,Yahoo, and my ISP email. All set to push, even free Yahoo.

I used the exchange server for hotmail on my Captivate, worked fine with the stock email. Set it up as exchange, using m.hotmail.com as the server. Your username is your full email address. I don't have a Captivate anymore so I don't know if you need anything else (like port numbers). Google should give you the rest.
Also, if you set it up as exchange you can choose to sync your contacts and calendar with hotmail.

K9 & corp mail don't launch from contacts

I know when I first got the D3 both k9 and regular mail (not gmail - that still behaves as expected) offered launch icons from contacts, including blur contact widget.
Since rooting & debloating I no longer get the option.
Yesterday I rsd flashed -55 firmware, and now I'm bone-stock (except @ build 55 instead of 20 since we can't flash backards), but I stilll don't get k9 as an option.
Any clues how I can restore K9 mail as an app launch option in contacts?
Thanks!

Not to mention the obvious but you have K9 installed right?

Yes. Installed, reinstalled, etc.
I figured out what it was. Gmail was selected as the default mail app, so that's what comes up. I cleared that setting, now I get a choice of all mail apps when I click on the mail launch icon. Not ideal, but better than before.

Good. I love questions that answer themselves.

[Q] Sync exchange calenda, but no e-mail

Hi all,
I want to sync the Exhange calendar from work into my private phone, but I don't want the work mails in my private phone.
On the HTC Sensation I could only check calendar and the mail didn't sync.
On the HTC one Inbox of the mail is mandatory and always marked.
Is there a way to unmark it? I have also checked other apps, but couldn't really find anything just for the calendar sync.
Edit: Would be great if I could umark inbox in a system file or something

Have you tried after setup is complete going back into settings, accounts and sync, and un-ticking inbox there? Worked for me just now.

I've updated to Viper One and now I can untick the mail checkbox in the exchange account!

Facebook Contact Sync on GE roms (sinless)

I ran tylers ROM a few days and it was great, but I wanted to try the actually GE ROMs, so I flashed sinless and I've had a great experience so far but I cant get my Facebook contacts to sync with existing contacts. In fact the people app doesn't show Facebook contacts even when I select it. Anyone ran into this?

You need a 3rd party app to sync FB contacts with stock Android. I use HaxSync
