Sycronize only one gmail account - LG G Watch R

Hello,
i've not bought the watch yet.
i would like to know, first, if it's possible to sync just one of the several gmail account that syncs on the phone.
thank you

The watch receives any and all notifications you have on your phone. So if other emails are set to notify in the phone it will show up on the watch.

Whilst it is possible to mute an app (so that alerts only appear on hte phone and not the watch), I think that would apply to gmail as a whole. In other words, you would either get all gmail notifications (for all accounts) or else you would get none.
HTH

Use 2 differents mail app for each GMail account and block notification on watch for unwanted app(GMail account).
You can also use "eNotify" for the watch and not send GMail with your all account notification to your watch.

Sound Notification with Hotmail

Hi All,
Have tried to search arround but cant seem to find anything (my apologies if I have missed something obvious - so if anyone does have a link to a thread, ill more than happy to read through it rather than someone re-writing the answer!)
Is it possible to have a sound notification if there are any new hotmail messages. I understand this maybe difficult or not possible as its not physically receiving a message, more sync'ing with hotmail and showing the unread items.
Any help or guidance will be much appreciated!
Regards,
Craig

This should work by simply assigning an audio file under "new mail notification" in the sounds setting. I get my hotmail account pushed instantly as the mail comes and the sound does alert me of it.
I thought it was that easy....but in the "sounds and notifications" settings I have choosen a sound file, display notification, and illumination for new email notifications and still get nothing for Hotmail or Comcast new emails. I do however get sound/display/illumination for new mail from my Outlook account which is why it seemed odd to me. I have only had the phone for a couple weeks and thought that it giving me notifications before I upgraded to the latest R2A rom X1A american version...
Bigfeat - Thanks for your help, like zeffX1A, I have assigned a sound in the options, this works when I receive email via my POP and IMAP accounts but when Hotmail Syncs, I dont get any notifications at all (sound, Illumination, Vibration etc)
I really would like to see a solution for this.
As far as I know, you do get a notification when you select the syncing option as "when they arrive" aka push. But for me push hotmail is not working at all. (Messenger on home computer signed in, but not as online or on the phone) Sometimes it does work, but more often it refuses to do so.
Is there maybe different software that gives notification on new hotmail mail when you check periodically?
hi i seriously need a solution to this too.
i selected sync frequency to As Items Arrive, under the Sound and Notification settings, i also assigned a tone for new email msg, but i still dun get a notification whenever i have a new email, its not notifying mi at all, not even a display of new mails on the Today screen.
i need push setting for my hotmail account. can any1 help how to set it to notify me whenever there is new mail?
appreciate ur help
found any solution for it?
Same problem: No alert notification on new Hotmail message
Hello!
I have the same problem described above (more or less)
I can ear the sound that I've assigned to new emails when I receive a new GMAIL message (I have it configured to query server each 60 minutes for new mail), this works perfectly.
But it is not the same with HOTMAIL messages , I don't understand why is this way! (I have configured HOTMAIL to read mail each 60 minutes too)
Ok, the reading and downloading methods for GMAIL and HOTMAIL are different, as second it's done by the Windows Live Application, but in both cases the messages ends in its inboxes in HD2, so... why the GMAIL alert sounds, and HOTMAIL not?
What can we do? T_T
Regards!
you can get hotmail sound and vibrate notification if you setup your hotmail at Windows Live app. It works for me
Solved for me
Hello everyone,
It's weird but now, suddenly, it works!... without doing anything special
It is possible, too, to work sometimes and sometimes not (sometimes you can hear the sound notification in hotmail and sometimes only receive mail without this sound alert)... but I'm not sure of this.

[Q] E-mail Question (False notifications)

Basically, i'll get a notification saying I have new e-mail (number of new e-mails is random), so i'll slide down the notification bar, click the e-mail notification and it takes me to my inbox... where I have no new e-mails.
I've tried refreshing the inbox to see if it was seeing e-mails not in the inbox yet somehow, and that didn't do it. The only thing I can think of is that my gmail account has an [Imap]/Trash Folder now that has 36 unread messages, and those are the e-mails I deleted without reading (Spam mostly). Is that what's triggering it?
It seems to be the same number of e-mails I received recently, so I think it's sending duplicate notices. Example: I'll receive 4 emails, 2 from a friend of mine, one from a newsletter I read an another spam. I'll read 3, delete the 4th unread, close the mailbox and then 5 minutes later i'll get a notification saying I have between 1 and 4 new e-mails, whereupon i'll check my inbox and there's nothing there.
Anybody know what's going on? I'm using the default captivate mail app to check my e-mail, not the google e-mail app. The google one never gives me this issue. (two different gmail accounts linked to the two different apps so I know which one mail is coming from)
Mine does this too. It's not random though. Whenever I delete an email and it's sent to my trash folder I will receive a new email notification shortly after. If I delete 3 emails, I will receive a notification for 3 new emails the next time it syncs with the server.
So how do we stop it? Stop using the default e-mail app?
Are there other/better e-mail apps out there?

I had the same kind problems with mine, it was also slow sometimes while downloading messages.
The gmail app is good if your using gmail. If not I've had good luck with MailDroid. There are other email apps in the market you can try.
had same problem. this fixed it for me:
from home screen
settings buttong > select settings
Hit applications > manage applications
hit settings button > filter > select all
find "GMAIL" and "Gmail Storage"
For each one, click and do the "clear data" and "clear cache"
let me know if that helps

I figured out why this is happening. I recently went back to the native email app (because Yahoo! Mail for Android is brown poop, and MailDroid's ads can get annoying -- plus it's only push email...I don't like seeing I have 4 new emails, for example, and each time I tap on each item, it downloads just that email through the internet. I want my emails to be downloaded all at once, ready to be viewed. I digress...)
Anyway, the native email app shows you have X (false) new emails when you delete X number of emails because it downloads a number of (older) emails after it syncs, after you had deleted some new ones. In other words, you delete 3 newer emails, it downloads 3 older emails. Scroll down and you will see those 3 at the very bottom as "unread" even though they're old. Annoying.
Is there a way to fix this, perhaps tell the email app to not download emails older than 3 days, for example?
Here's a work around though. This is what I did. I use Yahoo! Mail* and I have thousands and thousands of emails in my Inbox. This might work for your corporate emails too.
1. Create a new folder on Yahoo! (or your corporate email client) called Inbox2 (or whatever).
2. Move all of the messages from the Inbox to that new folder.
3. Sync (Refresh) the email app on your device.
4. Your device will begin "move" the current emails away and will eventually show zero emails.
You'll be starting fresh. Each time you get a new email and you delete the email from your device, the app will have nothing to download and it won't show false notifications. If you decide to keep an email, it'll stay. When you get a new email that you decide to delete, still, the app won't have any older emails to download -and- it won't show any false notifications. It's a workaround. Hope this helps.
*I'd like to add. I've enabled POP3 on my Yahoo! Account and I'm using the native email app as pop 3. I have all of my emails downloaded as they come in. So when I'm in an elevator or in a poor 3G area, I have all of my emails (in its entirety) downloaded ready to be view without fetching for the rest of the messages.
I am using the email client for Exchange and POP3 and I don't have this problem, so maybe it is specific to something the server is doing. Gmail app works fine too for my Gmail account.

I tried what you suggested but unfortunately it doesn't work.
I think the problem of the false notifications occurs, cause the email client synchronises each folder (inbox, spam, trash etc.) separately. So when we get a new mail which goes to our inbox, we get a notification and then we go to our inbox and we find it there. When we delete an email, we move it from inbox to the trash folder. So the client synchronises the trash forder and sents a notification that we have a new mail. Then we go to our inbox but we see no mail, cause it's in the trash folder. The same occurs with spam. When we receive a spam mail, it is directly sent to the spam folder. So we get the notification of a new mail, but when we go to our inbox we find nothing.
That's the only way i can explain the false email notifications and i can't find a way to solve this annoying problem. If anyone can help would be much appreciated.
Happens to me too. Must be a bug. It only happens with IMAP and not Exchange mail. If you delete emails it will download older ones and do the notification.

[E-mail vs Gmail]

This is probably an android noob thing, but I cannot seem to understand how to use the "email" app and the "gmail" app.
I want to use the stock/default android email app, you know, the one with the black background? However, I am seriously annoyed by the fact that when I receive a single new email, I get two notifications in the notifications bar; One from the gmail app and one from the stock/default email app.
How do I use this? It's required to set up a gmail account for marketplace to work. But I hate replicate notifications.
Do I just delete one entirely from the app folder?
Whats the best way to work along/around this?
You can turn off the Gmail apps notifications by delving into it's settings.
Go to gmail app, hit menu, go to more, select settings, uncheck Email Notifications. Gmail app will no longer notify you.
but if you just turn off the notification it will still be syncing in the background so if you dont want to use the gmail app go into accounts & sync and under your mail address uncheck sync gmail
the gmail app is used for just that, gmail. the email app is used to connected to exchange servers, pop3 accounts, imap accounts, basically any email that isnt gmail.

you get two notifications because you have set up your gmail account on Email app. Gmail app is way better than Email app (my opinion)
Option1: Delete gmail account from Email app and just use the Gmail app.
Option2: Go to Gmail app settings and disable notifications and use Email app (it will still be synchronizing).
Option3: Uninstall Gmail app and use Email app.

Agreed!
If only I could make my ActiveSync account (work Exchange) to use the Gmail app for mail display instead of Email.apk's viewer.
Personally I think the Gmail app sucks ****. Its so annoying to see the Gmail notification (like push email) and then only go into Mail to actually read it after hitting refresh.
Real cockup in my opinion, but then again I don't hold android in the highest light anyway.
I personally like the gmail app. I never need to press refresh. My push works great. I see the notification or the green trackball (color I set for gmail) then pull down menu and select the notification for Gmail and it loads that message right up.

That's pretty much wrong if I understand you correctly. If I get a notification from the Gmail app of a new mail, I press it and it's right there in my inbox without having to refresh it first.
I also like the Gmail app better than the built-in e-mail app.
The Gmail Push?
I have nexus one, it normally syncs every hour (i set it so)..
Why dont I get the push option? (my operator supports push mail)
If you use Gmail app - the push is automatic and the only way. You don't configure the sync time, because it has no such option.
If you use Email app for Gmail - check if you can set it to Automatic(Push) option (it's the topmost option on the list).
If you set Gmail as Exchange, it can push. If it's set as IMAP then it has to be set to poll.
Ok did that, and and yeh, its push.
Its a lil slow though (it gets a lil delayed).. but Im glad it works..

[Q] Email notification but no new mail

I use the Email app (Vegan 1.5.1) to check a pop email account. I get the new mail notification from it even when there's no "new" mail (i.e., I get mail, touch the notification to see the mail, and close the email).
I'm thinking it might be because some of them are unread, however, it would be nice if it only notified when there was actual new mail. Which I'm pretty sure is what the Gmail app does (I haven't noticed the same problems).
Is there any way to fix?
yea its because some of them are unread. Happens to me on my gtab and my droid 2

Stock email app sync issue with Gmail only- delay, N950W

Hi guys,
i have problem with receiving gmail's on my note8 using stock Email app from samsung which comes preloaded.
There is too much of delay in receiving gmails in this app or sometimes dont even receive emails. but exchange emails work fine with no delay.
Also it happens after long periods of phone sleep would say 7-10 minutes, i wont receive gmail on this email app or comes with big delay. but if i turn manually screen up i instantly receive emails of gmail on email app. I have also chosen auto when received option in email sync.
i have not optimized this Samsung email app for battery optimization as well.
ANY ADVICE WOULD BE appreciated.......
Not sure if this is your issue but with the Samsung email app you can set sync schedule time. But 15 mins is the shortest sync time. Or if it's set to manual then it will only receive emails when you sync manually by swiping down or when you open the app.
Maybe try the gmail app, I believe that one is instant. I use the gmail app for my gmail & I use the Samsung email app for my 2 yahoo accounts.
