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.

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..
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.
When using a POP3 account with the stock email app I checked "Delete From Server? NEVER" and it deletes the message from my server anyway.
Works fine from all my other phones. Anyone else having the same problem?

Same problem here
I am in the same boat. It appears that it does not do it immediately, but shortly after deleting. I have double checked my settings and all account say to never delete from server. This is troubling. It appears that the email app on the turbo is very different from all previous droid email apps. Messages saved from previous email apps cannot be opened by the trubo email app.
Anyone have insights on this?
Use New GMAIL App
The new GMAIL app can handle your gmail account plus any other POP / IMAP and even exchange I believe. I have my Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail and Icloud all setup in the new updated app. Much better than the stock moto email app. Deletion works too. Just a thought:highfive:

Gmail update showed up for me today. Immediately switched out of the Email app. Not sure it will fix what ails ya but, it's a legit contender to make it happen.

I tried the new gmail in both pop3 and imap configuration. When setting it up to never delete from server, it still deltes from server in both gmail and moto email in both pop3 and imap.
Over on turbo moto forum, it seems that moto is now looking into this issue.
Be aware.
Yup, the new Gmail app deletes them too.
Looks like this has been a problem with Google based email since kitkat. Sure glad Google is worried about it... /s

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.
Hi,
I have LineageOS installed on my Asus ZenFone 8,
Push notification is not working for me with the mail apps I tried,
Yahoo app, Spark app, Mail app (by Edison software), onMail app and Protonmail app.
All these apps doesn't push any notification and they doesn't even check if I got new email.
Note; I don't and not planing to get Google services in my phone as I live
Which mail app do you use in LineageOS ?
Appreciate your help!

Yahoo should be able to do push notification if you're using IMAP.
However, if none of those apps are receiving push notifications or even doing scheduled mail checks, it sounds like they aren't configured correctly.
Make sure the mail app is configured to do scheduled mail checks; has push mail enabled; is using the IMAP protocol; and is not being optimised by the system.
With some mail apps, there could be settings at both app and individual account level for scheduled mail check and push mail. If the settings are not on at the app level, that might override the account settings. Make sure the settings are on at both levels if applicable.
Try an email client that is on F-Droid like FairEmail or k-9email, these could work as no google services (in this case cloud messaging for push notifs) are allowed on F-Droid.

Thank you!!
FiarEmail do work, and it has tons of features.
One thing, Yahoo app is the only email app from the mentioned before that do appears under "Settings"->" Account" and there is a feature where it say Sync. Strangely it doesn't sync, not sure why but it should work.
Anyway FairEmail so solve the problem,
Thanks again
