Gmail no longer sends from different account - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I used to be able to choose which email I wanted to send from in the Android Gmail app. When they updated it to 4.2.1, it would usually not stick and would end up sending it from the default email address instead. I was able to uninstall all updates and regain the ability. BUT, then my phone got the OTA update to Android 4.1.2, and now I can't go back any earlier than 4.2.1 for Gmail. The Gmail update that came out recently (4.3?) doesn't work either. Even when an email is sent to a "secondary" email address, when I reply it goes from the default email address! Any ideas how to fix this? Am I the only one with this problem?

Annoying Gmail issues

1) It constantly tells me I have new emails when in fact I don't. It can be an email I received an hour ago. I'll still get 2 more notices that it is a new email even if I have read it or deleted it. I have notifications turned off for Gmail, but I am also using the regular email client to access Gmail. No matter the notification I get I think I am seeing the email via the regular phone email client.
2) Gchat, how do I bring this up? if someone Gchat's me I get a notification. but i can't seem to find a way to start a gChat conversation with someone on my phone.
Gchat is under Gtalk and that where you would go to reply to them. My Gmail has yet to give me any problems so I can't help you with that. Maybe you should try deleting your account and adding it again.
The problem isn't Gmail, it's the default client. Any time it downloads a message from the server, you get a new mail notification whether it has been read or not. This means that every time you delete a message the message it loads to replace the deleted message will trigger a new message notification. This would happen for any e-mail account.
That behavior caused me to just avoid using the default mail app altogether. I just use the pre-installed Gmail app instead.
Yeah I have the same issue with the defaul Email app. When I delete a new message 30 minutes later when the refresh is run it loads up an old email message I have responded to or dealt with 100x stating its new and alerts me of it.

Well from reading the message it looks like he is using the Gmail app but it is giving him problems. I do not use the email app that comes with the captivate because I can not use my yahoo account on it. I do not know. We should wait for the OP to reply and see if he is using the Gmail app or the Email app.

No, i wasn't very clear i guess. I'm using the standard email client to access gmail.
The email program that came with the Captivate give me tons of problems, one is the problem with showing new email but there is none.
I've been using the gmail email app for gmail. For non gmail accounts I use MailDroid.

[Q] EC10 lost email and exchange email program

I did an update to EC10 and have lost the email program. Is there any way to recover that program so I can use my work(exchange) email and hotmail and sync them with my calandar? Yes I searched this problem before posting.
I will have same issue if I upgrade... anyone with an A: for the Q:?
It seems that the calandar is not working properly either. If I go into accounts it force closes.
I'm running pick and pack and I have the email app, i just checked the .zip and it's in there, what are you running?
I ran Pick and pack but maybe it is an older version. Do you have a link to the one you ran so I can go that route? Thanks for the reply
I used the updated version found here

It took FOREVER to download but all is working with my email and calandar now.

Yahoo Mail Problems

Anyone else having problems with Yahoo mail syncing with the Das Bamf Sense 3 rom?
i'm also having trouble, and i've not rooted my tbolt yet.
My yahoo mail hasn't synced in three days. At first i thought i messed something up because i had just rooted my phone, however, it seems i am not alone with this problem. Sure wish a fix/solution was out there.
Yep

I thought I was the only one having a problem. I'm not rooted either. Totally stock.
I don't think it matters whitch ron, I had to download yahoo app to get mail. They changed something on imap
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Yeah, I usually check my mail on my phone every morning (stock ROM, stock Mail app). This morning it wasn't showing any new emails (despite the fact that I get emails from Newegg every day). I thought it might be an LTE thing, but it wasn't working on wifi, either. I cleared all my data, deleted the account on the Mail app. Tried again, and it was telling me how many messages were on the server, but it wouldn't download any of them.
Later, I force quit Mail and cleared it's data. Now instead of presenting a variety of account options, I have just Microsoft Exchange and Other listed. I picked other, put in my credentials, and it keeps coming back with an Authentication failed message.
It could be a problem on Yahoo's end

i just tried their old pop settings also, with no better luck.
Count me as someone having a problem with this as well. I noticed it a week ago Saturday as I had just installed a new ROM and couldn't get Yahoo to sync.
Try this I've been using Mail and I think you might like it. Check it out from your Android phone:

I got tired of the problems pretty sweet app or current old troublesum way..
Setting up IMAP on your mobile device To set up IMAP on your mobile device please use these settings:
Incoming Server -imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server -smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming Port -993 (requires SSL) Outgoing Port -465 (requires SSL/TLS)
Username: full email address (for example [email protected] or [email protected]) Password: the password you login to Yaho with. If you are having trouble setting up IMAP on your mobile device we recommend reviewing your phones instruction manual or contacting your mobile provider for support

I'm having trouble synching on my TB and my wife's Incredible. Is this a fluke or is yahoo blocking IMAP on purpose?
So this will only apply for Yahoo mail. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
[1] Turn off SSL and use port 110
or
[2] Set incoming server to pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk port with SSL on 995
Yahoo has apparently a bad or expired certificate which is why people are seeing all types of errors like "Invalid Login" or when adding account "Unauthorized User please try your user name and password again" ect ect.
Again use at your own risk this was information from Yahoo support.

That solution is for POP email, not IMAP. Big difference.
With that being said, I have no solution for IMAP. Using POP you'll be able to get your mail, it just won't be "pushed" to your phone.
well it works with cm7
didn't notice. I like the yahoo mail app better. More features and notifications on new messages.
the yahoo mail app is great...it has push notifications
Seems like this is a universal problem amongst carriers and devices. I'm surprised there hasn't been any press about this.
I called Verizon they said yahoo is updating there system so I think that messed
with HTC settings some how I used the yahoo mail from the market place
earlier today and it works fine and I know stock android email also works
on my back up cm7 stock I'm looking for stock email apk that would work

I was told the same thing by verizon rep as well :/
- i just got my thunderbolt sat. and after my initial yahoo setup
using the htc email app, it worked great however I ended up
installing a bamf rom and since then it has never worked.
I'm only able to send but not receive
if you can find a stock email apk that works please update us
I would really appreciate it.
Ok I fixed mine. Easy!
Downloaded Yahoo mail from the market. Installed but I never opened it or used it. It somehow fixed the settings for my htc mail app for Yahoo.
My Yahoo mail now pushes like it did before!

Email app vs gmail app on lollipop

I updated my N5 to Lollipop by flashing factory image.
Now I can no longer add email accounts for use with the standard android email app, only the gmail app. I understand that gmail app wants to take over but at least I still had the option prior to the upgrade to choose either.
I preferred keeping those two separate for some of my accounts.
I tried disabling gmail in the hopes that this would restore the ability to add accounts to the email app but to no avail.
Any suggestions? Do I need to find a way to downgrade the email apk to get that functionality back.
Thanks
Manuel

Latest Chrome Update breaks Stock Email Reply Function

Try to reply to an email and "Mail has stopped working"
Uninstall Chrome updates and you can magically reply again
Based on my mere seconds of Googling it appears a bug have been reintroduced with Android System Webview (which is now integrated into Chrome and is no longer a standalone app)
Great work Google you f***in retards
Go to Playstore. Uninstall both Gmail and Chrome browser. Reinstall both again. I hope this works.
Sigh...

Reported to HTC.
Now wait and see what happens
I've hit the same issue. Funny how it works, just when I'm traveling overseas and really need it more than usual. I'm trying to fix but not certain how to uninstall the Chrome update. Info I have basically seems to need to back out all upgrades.
Can we assume they will put out a fix for this?
Thanks for the info greatly received as my HTC U11 just packed up on emails. Did as you advised and back up and running, why do they mess with something that was working and never test it properly before releasing updates?
I have the same problem. I uninstalled Chrome updates and now HTC mail works again. However now Amazon Shopping and Underground doesn't work, requires update to System Webview which is now embedded in Chrome. So how can I revert Chrome to its previous update, since removing updates reverts it to HTC stock version?
HTC mail working well here, and Gmail too.
I don't have problems with Google Chrome! Is working well! Anyway, i don't use Chrome,. I'm using Samsung Internet Browser app with Adblock Plus for Samsung Internet Browse Safe on my HTC U11, because it's much, much faster than Chrome! My second browser is Firefox with sync Windows 10 bookmarks.
I had the same problem the other day on my u11 removed the latest chrome update. Worked fine for a day now I can't send and email or reply
I ran into the same issue. I uninstalled the Chrome update and am able to use the stock email app.
HTC reported it back to Google.
And Google likely will fix it in the next Chrome update
Android mail crashes with March 2018 Chrome release
After a week or two of not being able to reply or forward I uninstalled Chrome updates and low an behold mail worked.
Next day it stopped again so I disabled automatic updates and re-uninstalled Chrome updates and yes mail worked again.
Shame I cannot figure out what chrome version this is or even release date.
Looks like it is broken again? Cannot forward or reply to emails, but composing fresh to the same address results in a successful send. Otherwise it just errors out and says "unable to send messages"
Seriously FCUK HTC I am so tired of their bullish
HTC Official Support Position......... wait for patch and use another email client in the meantime................ FCUK this company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes these are the versions I have as well. Noticed Android Webview is still at 61.x.x.x with Chrome installed, discovered I can disable chrome and enter the Beta program to get to Webview 66.x.x.x and the problem still exists. Replied and forwarded emails fail immediately, and will not send, but composing a new email works fine. Also tried setting up the gmail app to send/receive my POP3 emails and it had the exact same problem.... Sent and replied emails showed Failed when attempting to send

There is a HTC Mail 10.70.1035099 now. Might be worth testing.
This problem was fixed with the HTC Mail update
