Is it possible to be notified of new e-mails arriving in just one account if you have multiple email accounts set up on your WM 6.1 device? On my Touch Pro, I have two email accounts configured. One is my activesync work account and the other is a gmail account which gets polled every 15 minutes. I only want a notification to play when a new message arrives in my gmail account, but not when one arrives in my work account which receives upwards of 150 messages a day! My phone would never shut up if I enable notifications for this account.
Thank you for your time!
The issue I keep having is when I set up my exchange email account on this phone it syncs my emails just fine for a few hours and then stops syncing. I had it set to push automatically and also used the "every 15 min." setting. Both seem to stop syncing my emails until I delete the account and set it up again. What can the problem be? I have deleted and set back up my account 3 times today just to get my work emails. Any ideas?
My Exchange client is working fine checking every 15 minutes. I haven't tried Push, it's not necessary for me and the drain on the battery seals the deal. However, when I set it to sync my calendar as well, it almost always fails. So I've set it to only sync Messages and I dont' have any trouble.
Never had a problem at all with the HTC client. Works great with my Exchange 2007 setup. (I am the administrator)

Hi all
This was a new one for me and i hope its a one off.
I was reading my emails using the undread option across mutiple accounts and once i had read them all and switched back to all mails view all of my mails had gone from the device.
I then exited mail and went back into it and it showed the setup account choices screen.
I checked settings and accounts and they were all still there with a green sync icon but checking the mail app they were not showing as registered.
The only fix i could find was a factory reset.
Has anyone else experienced this and is there a better fix? I have searched the forums and found nothing so far.
Annoyed

This also has happened to me multiple times. I had 2 accounts: exchange for work and pop/smtp for home email. Mail client crashed (do not remember exactly what i was doing) and upon re starting it i was presented with the screen to set up mail accounts.
Checking the Account & Sync in Settings listed both accounts, but the mail client was unaware of them.
First time this happened I simply re-entered account details in the mail client and everything worked.
Second time it happened I could enter the exchange account details but client reported that it could not connect.
This required a factory reset to fix. Called north american support line, they had no record of this problem on file & suggested I use k9 client due to history of mail client issues on other devices. I could not get k9 to work on exchange.
When it happened the third time, I was able to reenter the accounts into the email client again and things worked.
I am now evaluating touchdown mail client for exchange. I use the gmail client for some other accounts and it works fine.
I use the stock email for my hotmail account which is my main email account so i have all my other email accounts forwarded to that one. I have it set to Push, and it does...sometimes, but not always, which I find to be weird. I have auto sync checked, data or wifi is always running so its a data issue, I've deleted the account and set it up again and im still having the same problem. I am on Tweakstock with PJB. Anyone else having this issue or know of a solution?
I have never found touchwiz email to be useful. I would always have to sync it manually with my college's email. Eventually I integrated it into my gmail (used pop3 in gmail to add to inbox and smtp to send) and the gmail app on my phone will even allow me to send as either my gmail or my college's email. You should try doing this to your hotmail.
I'm using hotmail app to sync and it's working fine. The one that you used is Window live.
ill try the hotmail app, thanks, its just weird cuz i never had a problem until this past week.
I have three email accounts using the stock email app, and a gmail account using the gmail app. The three accounts using the stock app are all set to sync manually, and the peak schedule set to off. The stock app still syncs throughout the day, does anyone know how to set it so it will only sync when the app is opened up?
I had the same problem. Only way I could keep it from syncing was to turn sync completely off in the email app's settings. Then turn it back on when I wanted to manually sync.
Same problem with manaul sync of email
Bought my S7 today and have discovered the same thing. Setting sync schedule to manual does not seem to have any effect. If Sync account is on, I get mail; it's if off, I don't. I'd like to set Sync account to on, then request mail when I want it. The pdf manual reads 'To manually retrieve emails, swipe downwards on the screen.' But if Sync account is off, swiping down doesn't retrieve emails, and if Sync account is on, the emails are downloaded before you swipe.
Bug?

Move your Gmail account to the stock email app and you can set it however you need. It would be easier to have all accounts in one place anyway.

Have you tried through Settings > Accounts long press on Google and turn off Automatic Sync in there for G-Mail and any other Google services you don't want to sync automatically.
Then when you open the G-Mail app just pull the screen down to update your messages which will sync manually.

If you turn auto sync off, it will nor sync by pulling screen down.

If you turn it off then when you open your gmail app and slide the screen down you will see the circle icon rotating and any new emails will be loaded into you inbox, I know it works because I use it, if you have no new emails nothing will change.

Same here. For the gmail account I use the gmail app. For the other two accounts (one is yahoo one is work POP account) i use the S7 stock email app. The stock email is better for me as it allows me to sort by unread and select all. All set on manual but keeps synchronizing. Very annoying...

Yes it is. And there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it.

I have the exact same problem.
I want manual sync (no automatic sync) for my work email after 17:00, but I want to be able to open the app and browse emails offline (WITHOUT the app instantly triggering a sync). This worked in my S5 but has now changed in S7.
Agree that it is a bug!

Any suggestions??? More bugs - bought S7 -just set up my business email as POP3 (yahoo small business with email on Yahoo server) thru email that comes with S7. Want all my emails from my email acount on phone - several years of them that amount to under 2GB (sometimes need see all conversations from past with client while not hear laptop in home office) and then want to sync every 15 min and have new emails sent to phone - (on laptop use microsoft outlook set up as pop3 to leave on server when download). Also since I am starting new bus but want to see emails from old bus only way to do on phone is Pop3 (if stop paying Yahoo yearly fee will delete emails from its server for that email account). My old Blackberry did this perfectly - downloaded all , then every 15 minutes just downloaded new when synched and could just flick thru them. In prior Samsung S (did not own one) used to have setting in synch to "period of time" to sync - in S7 now asks "how many emails to load"- even if set on TOTAL does not seem to be willing to download all my emails. to the phone. Only loaded three months then went back while phone still on, and only one month shows. Whole purpose of Pop3 is to download ALL emails in an email account. Then when delete an email deletes from phone and server. Any fix for this anyone knows? If this just a limit in the native email app in phone or in Android OS so in all phones? If just this app anyone know an email app for non-exchange and exchange servers that will permit you to download ALL emails in email account set as pop3?
Yes - this sucks - I have used a note3, note4 and the manual sync rmail works great - I tried a note5 and it would sync automatically (even though I set it to only manual sync) I KNOW how to so this (since I did it with the note 3&4. ---- the note 7 also has this problem - WHY didn't samsung fix it? It's ANNOYING to be woken up with email alerts, and it's annoying to have to turn sync on and off. We paid a lot of money for this phone - it should work.... come on Samsung......
