Has anyone noticed that what they do within the Gmail app on the Xoom isn't syncing with your desktop machine?
In other words - when I read or delete or change labels on an email in the Gmail app, I don't see the changes reflected if I go to my Gmail on my laptop. (They are still sitting in my inbox, unread).
Go into settings/applications /manage applications/all applications. Open Gmail and "clear cache ", them "clear data "
Ignore the warnings. Back to home page and open Gmail. You should be good to go.
That worked!
Thanks!
Sync hangs
I'm not sure if this is the exact same problem but I tried to send some large attachments recently and the sync seemed to hang all night. It would not send the email I originally was going to send plus three other I did afterwards before I noticed the issue. I was more concerned with sending these emails then checking to see if the sync error was affecting the receive mail process. Rebooting did not help so I ended up deleting the account and adding it back again. It took a while to do the normal initial syn but it seemed to clear the problem.
A week later I had the same issue although this time I noticed right away (instead of the next morning like before). I did a search and found someone advising to go into the Androids Setting then manage apps and then Gmail. To hit clear data and click
ck OK to the warning that tells you that all data, including any mail, will be deleted. I was not worried about the outgoing mail I was trying to send as I could easily redo it. This did work Ase I went into Gmail and it had to sync up withe servers but everything was back. The weird thing is that my message was sent and no longer under Outbox marked as "being sent". So either it sent it this time but was not showing this or it sent it real quick before I cleared data.
Either way it's fixed for now but who knows if it will happen again soon.We shall see.

Okay, the one issue I have here... I'm using the activesync with my gmail account and the domains I have hosted with google. I notice that when on my handheld, when I open then delete a message, it shows the message still as unread in my desktop email client, so I then have to go in and mark as read.
Is there a way I can change settings somewhere so I don't have to go through this every time or is it just an issue with "is what it is" kinda thing?
Another thing I notice is sometimes when I delete something on my desktop, sometimes the email indicator stays showing up on my phone until I open the email app then it clears... a little annoying. It didn't do it on my iphone, so I tend to think it's an issue with android. Any ideas?
I have the same (first) issue as you. I need to clear the cache in order to get rid of these "unread" emails.

But don't you have to do that every time then? It's not like a once in a while thing, it's been going on on any android device I use. If I clear the cache, and then an email comes in again and i read and delete on my android, it's just going to re-surface as unread on my desktop, hehe
A huge annoyance really.. whenever I go to compose a new SMS, I type in a letter and expect to just get suggestions from my contact list. But a ton of email contacts that I know longer even use show up.
Any way to clear all of that? I recently went into my gmail and deleted a TON of email contacts out of the account, so that is nice and clean now.. except, I still see the ones I deleted showing up on my phone auto suggestions.
I've force stopped both the gmail app and the stock email app, cleared settings and cache. I double checked and still see all of the emails still being auto suggested.
I've also force stopped, cleared cache and removed facebook.
Help
I have had this issue with two different phones. All of a sudden, no indication, emails from inbox will completely vanish, ALL of them, and the inbox screen says "No Mail"
If I go to check out some other folder, Sent Items, or something else, it updates and shows me emails. Just nothing on the inbox. Reboot does nothing. All other things are there. Apps and all. I thought maybe its the SD card... changed it, still same issue is happening.
This is on an Exchange 2010 server.
Ideas anyone?

have you check the settings of both your email and the email application of how may the IMAP or iPOP is set up on both ends? that might be a problem if it's not set up well on both ends hope that helps! [:
Thanks for the reply but it doesn't apply to me. I'm using ActiveSync Push with an OWA server.
It sounds like more of a question for you Exchange Server team, but then they probably aren't use to dealing with smartphone users....
I got this same issue! At first I was able to nicely see mails in my main inbox, now it just says empty! All other folders works (sent, deleted, etc.).
OP did you find a solution?
Quite a lot of corporate Exchange servers will be setup to also host 'webmail'.. if you just open an https://... connection to the Exchange server name then it might give you a login prompt. It would pay to check whether you still have full access to emails via this method in addition to your phone.
Before blaming the phone / ROM, you should make sure that the Exchange server still has the actual emails on it. If they're gone from the Exchange server, then they would also disappear from the phone.
Did you clear caches or anything similar just prior to the disappearance? One other possibility is that some email corruption has caused the email app to just no longer be able to recover the locally stored emails. Try using an app like Titanium Backup to remove the app data for the emails and reloading things.. if this sorts out the issue it would narrow things down.
My email seems to be working fine. I can send and receive email and view the contents of my various folders. But, it seems like every time it syncs (e. g. Every time I send an email), it displays an error message saying it had a connection error. As shown in the attached screen shot.
I went into Settings / Accounts. I only have one email account and it's an Exchange Activesync account. It is set to sync mail, calendar, contacts, and tasks. I toggled the sync for each one off and then back on. After I turned each one back on, that thing would sync and then display this same error.
Any idea what's going on?
I have had this problem also, but only when I was losing a weak wifi signal, or I was VPN'd to my work network. Either of those scenario's playing out with you?

Idon't think so. Settings shows WiFi signal as Strong. And I'm not VPNed.
This happened to me today too. The same connection error, but with g-mail. I had to clear the cache and data of the stock e-mail app. Then, when I restarted the e- mail app, l had to re-enter my account info. Worked fine after that.

I've gotten that pop-up randomly from day one on my Exchange account. It's never impacted what the e-mail client's actually doing. I've even gotten it while I'm watching a ton of e-mails download properly like when re-connecting after a plane flight. So I'm treating it as a false alarm until proven otherwise. Hopefully an update makes it go away.

My connection error was constant but I was only getting it from the stock e-mail app. I could reproduce it consistently by touching the refresh icon. But, when I opened the g-mail app, it could access everything fine. The error wouldn't stop until I reset everything and re-entered all the account info.
Stock email has problems with exchange server. Mine was having problems with office 365. it happens to all sgs ii, iii and note 10.1 ics versions. You have to clear contacts auto complete list. After that it was working ok with emails but Splaner is still not syncing well, only one way from server to device.
To empty auto complete list, go to file, option, email, email sending, empty auto complete...in office 2010.

I had a problem with my email the other day and ended up doing a factory reset and reinstalling all my apps, etc.. I didn't have this error before that happened.
I will try clearing the app's cache, etc. and re-setting up my email.
Thanks, guys.
ps. my problem the other day was that I could not compose a new email message (including replying to a received message). That turned out to be because I had turned on Force 2D GPU rendering in Settings/Developer Options. I wish I had figured that out before doing the factory reset... *sigh* Just FYI.
Thanks again for the help. I deleted the account, Cleared data and cache, rebooted, re-created the account, and now all seems well.

I have this error as well. It does not seem to impact emails, but I have problems with S-Planner not displaying events. I can sync events with S-Planner both ways, but some events just won't display in S-Planner. I have not yet found a common cause or a way to reproduce a non-syncing event.
[edit]
Ok, I went ahead and deleted the account and added it back again. For now, it syncs alright, let's see how it goes.
I think what I did different this time was to create an Active Sync Account from the start, whereas the first time around I selected "Email" and then Active Sync at the prompt when you go into manual setup. Could this make the difference, how exactly did you guys set up your accounts?
Now I only have one other problem: when I first added the account, the Exchange events in S-Planner were a nice green, but this time they are kind of a pastel shade pink, which I don't like at all. Can you change the color anywhere?

Since Lollipop upgrade I do not receive notifications for every new email I receive. There no longer seems to be a setting for Push notification in the mail settings but there is a setting 'receive notification for every new mail' and I have checked that in each (3) Gmail account I have. None of them work! I checked Sync settings in all accounts and it is set to on as well for each. Possibly this is a Sync issue Google is having?
Unlike other threads about 'silent mode', I want to hear that I have an email as soon as I get one! I have Notifications set to 'ALL.'
I have the exact same issue. I tried rebooting, clearing gmail data and cache, turning off sync and back on again, turning gmail sync off and on again etc etc.
Only thing I haven't tried is removing the google account and re-adding.
Not sure if this is a coincidence but I noticed it wasn't working after I installed Nine for exchange emails.
Gmail app has always only been push. There's never been an option to not push.
If you have inbox installed, that may tale over notifications - which by default doesn't notify for every bundle.
Otherwise after an upgrade, maybe a factory reset is required.
No interference from "nine" here.
It isn't pushing. I have to manually refresh to force the Inbox in the Gmail App to sync/refresh. I am getting no email notifications at all for 3 separate Google Accounts. I only use the stock Gmail App, nothing else. It was working fine on 4.4, not so much on 5.0. I expect when there are updates for there to be issues. I would find it hard to believe I am the only one. I hope others will see this thread and something is figured out.

Pushing and notifications are 2 different things. So what you actually mean is its not syncing?
Anyway advice still stands, may need to wipe

Yes and by not syncing I am not getting notifications. Calendar seems to work. I get notifications from the calendar. I don't get them from Gmail. It is reporting a sync error in the account settings. Data wipe isn't cool but I guess it is all backed up in the cloud.
I fixed it by removing my Google account from settings, accounts. All good now no reset required

OK Glad you fixed it, however I'm still hazy on the problem
Syncing = delivering messages to your phone via PUSH
Notification = Once delivered, notifying you
So it was syncing and new emails were appearing in the app, but you weren't getting the notification only?
I removed all accounts and added them back. It was also effecting Hangout messages. Everything appears to be working as it should!
The symptom that I noticed was not receiving a notification when I sent myself a test email. The cause of that was in fact a problem with Sync. When I opened Gmail the test message I sent myself was not there unless I manually refreshed. Obviously if it is not Syncing then you don't get a notification, the only part I noticed right off the bat. I was also being sent Hangout messages and not getting notice of them. Again launching the app forced it to refresh.

Thanks for clearing that up
