My Gmail app wont push Yahoo mail, or notify of email unless I go into the App and refresh it.
Anyone else have this issue with Gmail? My regular gmail accounts work fine.
maybe the background process is being killed when you get out of the app.
im seeing that this phone can make it easy to close background processes if you let it.
check your optimize /battery settings.
It's only doing this with Yahoo. My other two emails are fine.

I have my main email account going through gmail but it takes ages for the emails to come through.
Would I be better using the normal email app and removing the account from gmail? Does the email app have something like push notifications?
No, your Gmail account should work fine. It's push email meaning it works practically the same way as SMS: someone sends an email, Gmail will send an alert to your phone.
The Email app is crumy at best. From what I know, the Email app isn't push, but rather a constantly refreshing (at your discretion) your email boxes. In theory, it could refresh faster than Gmail, however with all the stuff that integrates with Gmail, it's not worth it.
My guess would be that you have gmail set up to pull email from your main account, which will take longer. A better approach would be to have your main email account forward to your gmail account, which will be pretty close to instant.

Agreed, I set my yahoo acct to forward to gmail and it completely bypassed yahoo and is instantaneous in gmail. I also get my phone updates within a few seconds of an email being sent.
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..
My email ( default email app, not gmail app ) wont sync automatically, I don't have a task killer, doing some research I am starting to think its because I don't have a universal inbox app.
I am not sure if I deleted it or if my ROM ( Phoenix ) came without it.. Is it why my email app wont sync automatically ? if so, can I get a universal inbox app from someone please
what is your email account which is not sync?

All of them! 3 gmail accounts, and 1 hotmail account.
I don't use gmail app, I just want one program for mail, so I have been using the default app, which I believe is a samsung app. I removed gmail, and I may have removed unified inbox thinking its for facebook and stuff I don't use. I am not sure this is the cause but my accounts using the email app wont sync automatically, I have to manually tell them to refresh.
If its just that missing unified inbox app maybe I can get it off someone, but I don't know.
Can someone shed some light on this?

you can use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync to get hotmail's email, so it will push the email to your phone.
Well I need 1 client for everything ... something is wrong. The default mail app used to work at some point, I just want to know why its not syncing mail every 15 minutes like its set to.
Is the default mail app ment to work with universal inbox? I thought mail was an android app and universal inbox is a samsung app, so I doubt it, but why wont it sync?

I am using cammster.com as one of my security applications at home. it sends me an email when it detects motion. However, I cannnot seem to find a friendly app that will send am email immediately to my Sprint Hero.
What free email program and app can I use that will send me an email when cammster sends it out, and notify me right away.
I have tried a google account (gmail), but it seems to want to check for emails at predefined intervals when using the main email client (that I also use for a work (exchange) email address).
I tried a yahoo (ymail) app and email addy, but it would conflict with my work email and stop the program from receiving the work or the ymail mail.
I quickly tried K9 app, but couldn't figure out how to use it with the yahoo mail to notify me immediately of the new email
Any suggestions?!?!?
The gmail client does push notifications. You should use the gmail client not the mail client for a google account (gmail).

Are you on a Rom? Or are you on the stock sense rom? I am curious because sense is a bit more friendly with accounts and sync.. in the settings menu, there is actually a section called "Accounts & Sync". In there, you can enable background data and auto-sync. It will probably not be instantaneous, but honestly, your battery would die immediately if your phone was constantly checking your email. I suggest WildHeroc as it is currently the bomb digity. Have a good night.
I've just got my first ever Pixel phone and must say I'm really liking it. Only issue I have is I'm not receiving any push notifications for my Hotmail account in the Gmail app. I've never used the Gmail app before but I don't think it's an issue with the app.
I've added my Hotmail account as an Active Exchange account, otherwise you don't get the push notification option. It's accepted the account fine and although push notifications is selected, it's not working. I have to manually refresh the page for new email to show.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Edit: It does seem to the be Gmail app as I've installed another email app which receives push notifications just fine. Everything is enabled as it should be in the Gmail app.
