[Q] Email Sync Issues - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I'm having an issue with email sync. In the email app, one of my email accounts will sync for a few days then just stop syncing. I don't notice it until it dawns on me that I haven't gotten new email in a while. It won't let me manually sync either. At the top, the last sync date will remain static showing a few days ago. I've deleted the account and then set it up again twice and that works for a few days, then it fails again. This is an old verizon.net account that I've never had issues with on any other device. Any thoughts?

Mine was acting up this morning, I just rebooted, and I was able to sync again.
Not sure if that will help, or if you have tried that, but that has helped me.

Oh yeah, well past that. I've rebooted, unchecked and rechecked the sync box, messed with the sync settings... the only thing that seems to work is deleting the account and adding it back..

Mine does the same thing. I have yet to figure out a permanent solution.

With which email provider are you having trouble? Is it Verizon as well? (hoping that we can at least narrow down the problem...)
Thanks!
Also - Is everyone still using the stock email app, or are you having issues with another app too? I'm stock and am getting ready to try something different.

I run 4 separate email accounts (POP, IMAP, and Exchange, but not Verizon) and don't have any problems. The only thing I can think of that hasn't already been suggested is to clear the cache and/or data for the email app in the application manager. If this is an Exchange account clear the data/cache for the Exchange services app also.

I had an issue with the stock e-mail app not syncing properly with gmail. New e-mails would come in, but old ones that were read would not be marked as read. As such it had over 50 unread e-mails even though the gmail app or gmail website had 2 or 3.
I switched to K-9 Mail which works much better.

This dude is just trying to get his post count up. Besides adding nothing to the conversation, he is becoming quite annoying repeating what others say in other threads.

I think I'm going to have to end up running another email app as well.
That leads me to another quandary. K-9 won't do hotmail. Mailbox and Cloud Magic won't do anything but gmail and iCloud. I need to find something that can handle a hotmail (IMAP I think) account, a verizon POP3 account, and a Gmail account. Any thoughts?

Where I work, we have 5 Galaxy S5's and we have all experienced this issue. One of my users has it happen every Tuesday. This is only with the stock email app. Other apps seem fine, but that's ridiculous....it shouldn't be doing this.

Calendar app loses calendar info at least once every day

Sometimes when I go to the calendar it is blank. Going to the Calendar app settings for my Google account, my calendars aren't listed. If I go to the main settings>apps>Calendar Storage and delete the data, I can then get the calendar back by going to the app and selecting refresh.
Any ideas why this is happening to me, but not my wife's N7? When this first happened I thought it was because I was using the QuickCalendar app so I deleted it. No joy.
BTW, my Bionic doesn't lose the calendar data--just the N7 loses it.

ANYONE? surely someone here as seen or heard of issues with the calendar app on the N7. ANY info is appreciated--I even created a secondary Google account to see if the N7 would lose it's calendar also. It does--just as often as my primary, which is many times per day.

Wife has exact same problem with calendar. It actually does the same thing with the contacts, which come back even less often then the calendar. Google cal and exchange accounts.
She tried calling the support number and the guy was clueless.
Haven't seen this and I use my N7 every day for calendaring stuffems.

I fixed it myself. didn't get any help from google forum. the fix was to reset the device. I told some folks about that in other forums, and when they reset THEIR devices, they too, got joy from the Calendar app.

Yahoo mail problem

I am reading my Yahoo mails via standard HTC Mail app. Is anyone else having problems with Yahoo! email lately? Mine stopped syncing 4 days ago. Looks like it is server side issue. Clearing data, etc, only syncs it up till 21st. No newer mails is available.
I have two accounts, and both work at this moment. (as always)
I got a email that there was suspicious activity from my yahoo account and it was locked
" At Yahoo!, your*account safety is our top priority.
*
Recently, we have detected some unusual activity on your account and as a result, we've temporarily locked it for your protection. You may unlock your account immediately by logging in on a PC. "

Thanks, this is something else. Apparently another folder syncs fine. The main inbox does not. Access via mobile yahoo website works too.
Does anybody have more than 1500 mails in the inbox and is it still working?

Figured it out myself. This was happening due to the number of emails or the total size. After a cleanup it started working again. Still wacky.
I'd expect at least some warning.
yea what gives?
Been having issues with Yahoo app for a couple months. Always seems to be server or sync type issues. I send probably 5 feedbacks a week.

Anyone know of a good Email app?

I'm looking for an email app that can handle multiple email accounts. Originally I was using both GMail and Outlook but as soon as GMail started adding ads that could not be deleted I dropped both apps and switched back to Aqua Mail. Now I'm having a problem with Aqua Mail and can't get a resolution from the official forums.
I've since switched to Blue Mail but it seems to be a heavy app and is draining my battery. Plus, I don't get any type of notification when I get emails even though I have it setup to do so.
So, what is everyone using and what can you suggest?
I use K9

I used to use K9 as well, but there was something really goofy about their UI I didn't like. I'll give them a go again.
OK, I tried it again, now I remember why I didn't like it. I use Hotmail/Outlook and I can receive emails but can't send them.
I use Aquamail

I've been using Aquamail for years. But about 3 days ago it stopped working. I asked about it on their forums and got no answer. This isn't the first time I've had problems with Aquamail; I've tried to stay loyal to it since I paid for it. But I'm just sick of it working, then not working for no apparent reason.
I just installed K9 this morning. Seems to be working well enough for now. I haven't had time to sit down and mess with some of it's features yet.
Mail Droid
I have been using Maildroid for some time and highly recommend it. It is highly customizable and easily supports multiple accounts. The developer quickly responds to problems and there is decent web support.
I use [email protected], don't know why I never went to K9. Works well with multiple accounts and PGP integration. Couldn't ask for anything more.
+1 for Maildroid
What's wrong with the stock one? Mine checks an exchange account and 2 imap accounts just fine.

Use Thunderbird by Mozilla

I remember using MailDroid years ago when it first came out. Haven't given it a second look before today. It looks like it's got a lot of really nice features. I'm downloading it now.
Stock email client is very good. Just don't use it for gmail. It will kill your battery from my experience.
Works fine for all my other accounts (exchange, yahoo, etc).
myMail works great....

+1 for AquaMail. That's the only email app I can find according to my needs. Another decent one is infamous K9. GMail is the worst email app I have ever used, I uninstall it practically after flashing a new ROM / wiping the phone.
I use stock for hotmail and gmail only issue I have for the exchange hotmail is you can't empty the trash in one click.

I had been using Aquamail for the past several years. Except about a week ago Gmail stopped syncing to it and I couldn't get it working. I also got not answer on the Aquamail forums. Decided it was time to move on.

The only reason I stopped using Gmail is because of their new ad feature. They send you ads that are disguised as emails and then don't allow you to delete them. Once I dropped Gmail I dropped Exchange as well and went back to Aquamail. Aquamail stopped working three months after I put it on my phone. So it got dropped too. I tried Droidmail, didn't like some of it's features. I'm currently using K9.
I use Inomail. Handles multiple accounts as well as allows html signatures. IMAP, POP, and all the others.

I use Mailbox. Only for Gmail/iCloud tho. Good for keeping the emails in the right place and the inbox clean.
Did you try "SPARROW" Email app ?

Exchange constantly force closing

Hi guys,
I have an AT&T N6 and I'm trying to get my company exchange account setup on it. I'm able to successfully but when it goes to sync it just constantly force closes. Anyone else seen this?
No one else?
Hi,
Same problem here, Gmail started a crash report after trying to sync-loop like crazy with exchange, I had to use "Nine - Exchange ActiveSync" which fortunately works fine (I was using that app with my previous phone).
Nine is pretty awesome..... Just wish stock one would work to have everything in one spot. Oh well, I'm sure it will get fixed soon. At least I hope ?
Hi,
I received a gmail update yesterday, and now it' works fine, but I went back to nine because the gmail app doesn't have a unified inbox folder (I have a lot of folders in my exchange email lol)
What version of Exchange are you connecting to?
I have two Office 365 Exchange accounts on my phone, no bubbles no troubles.
you asked OP or me? , I am very sure that's in my case it's exchange 2010 (since I'm the server admin...)
anyways with the new Gmail, ver 5.0.1 (1618411), it's works fine and doesn't "force close-crash-loop" anymore.

Had the same issue and switched to Nine. Now that it's fixed I don't think I'm going back. Nine is just so much better.
I had this same issues with my nexus the other night. Constantly force closed. Got so bad the power button and screen were unresponsive.

[Q] Gmail/Exchange Issues (5.0.1)

Is anyone else having issues adding an exchange email account using the Gmail app? I flashed my phone to the stock 5.0.1 (LRX22C) version. After returning to complete stock I rooted and flashed TWRP but the issue was present before I made those changes.
Nope. Mine's running stock 5.0.1 without issue. 2 exchange accounts and 1 gmail account attached.

Thanks. Were the accounts already setup prior to updating which didn't require you to add them back after the update?

I'm not sure what the issue is but i'm tempted to downgrade just to start troubleshooting. I know we haven't made any changes to our exchange server so I'm confused as to what's causing the issue all of a sudden. Thanks for your help though. :good:
I have two exchange accounts (going to different domains) configured in gmail. I've deleted and recreated the accounts several times over the past 2 weeks. Both are configured to "push."
The only problem I've encountered is that, on occasion, the notification sound for the second exchange account is wrong. (It's configured as one tone, but for some reason that I haven't discovered yet, it might play a different tone - but only for that second account, only about half the time, and it always plays the same wrong tone.)
(Of course, there are other issues, but they usability issues and not really bugs.)

Thanks for your input. I just tried wiping data for exchange services but it still failed. I'll have to take a look at our exchange server to see if something may be blocking it all of a sudden.
I was able to add an Exchange account on the gmail app after flashing the 5.0.1 factory image. What is the issue you are facing?

The error is related to permissions connecting to the server. I think this issue i'm having is helping to recognize a potential issue with our exchange server that may have just occurred that we were not aware of. We're currently in the process of testing other devices to see if we receive the same error message. I didn't think it was our server because nothing had changed, to our knowledge anyways. Seems the timing was just ironic.. Update to 5.0.1 and exchange server issues on the same day. Have to love technology lol.

Hi,
don't know if this helps, but i had this issue and turned out that even though i was using gmail and exchange services was enabled. Because i had disabled the old email app as i didn't think it was required anymore, i could no longer setup my exchange account.
My problem with my exchange account was with encryption. Before I upgraded to .1 it was fine. I'm aware that lolli is encrypted by default but when I upgrade to .1 and try to add the accounts it wants me to encrypt so the phone reboots like it's going to encrypt but then does nothing because it's already encrypted but for some reason exchange doesn't seem to teahouse this. This is using the gmail app. I reverted back to .0 and all is fine. So not sure what's going on but frustrating for sure.

The issue was actually on my behalf. Being a flashaholic, I had maxed out the number of devices that could be connected to my exchange account. All is fine on my end now and no issues.. Well besides slow download speeds within the app store. Not sure what's causing it but running a speed test using Ookla, the speeds are accurate but upon downloading apps the speeds slow down drastically.

Is your phone using the original google firmware, or something you downloaded and installed yourself?
The stock firmware has the app needed for gmail and exchange, while AOSP based firmware does not.
