On my gmail account on the mail app, I have two emails that link to it. I actually have four, but only two show up. Well, I recently deleted that website and the two email accounts that went with it. I then deleted them from gmail via settings from my gmail account via the browser.
I then deleted my gmail account from the mail app, BUT the two email accounts linked to my gmail account are still there as labels. I can't get raid of them. How?
I tried deleting them when you select folder options, but they just move further down, without getting deleted...
Might be a bug in the Mail app, but the easiest fix that comes to mind is deleting and re-adding the Gmail account.
Hi,
Open mail app, swipe from the left border, select settings, select the account you want to delete, scrool to the bottom of the setting page you have a "delete" button. That's all
Oups, i dont read the last line of the first post

Have an exchange account set up and also a Gmail IMAP account setup. Both have been working fine since Friday when I got the phone and flashed to NATF 1.1.
I rebooted my phone this morning following a Advance Config change to turn off Assisted GPS and now from the TF3D mail page, I can see my Gmail account, flip thru the messages there, but I can't open them or go to my inbox. Pressing inbox sends me to the account picker which only displays Messages and Exchange. If I'm in my Exchange inbox and flick to the next account, I can get to messages but not Gmail. If I try to add a new account named Gmail, it refuses since there is an account already by that name.
Is there any way to recover or delete Gmail without it appearing in the Account list?

You might have better luck posting this in the Question and Answers forum. It's a general question that applies across devices, so you will get more eyes on it there.

I just added another Gmail2 account. It's annoying to have 3 accounts on the TF3D, but I'll probably flash something else in a couple days anyway, so why bother?
Thanks for the tip though.
Hi
I just got a hd7 and I am trying to get my contacts synced. I have successfully setup a gmail account (hosted as google apps) and am getting mail, but I can not see the contacts in people hub. I did try it with a vanilla gmail.com account and it's the same result.
I do see my hotmail contacts in the people hub.
However, I am able to search contacts in google apps and gmail accounts (from people hub). Once I save those from the edit screen on the phone they start show up in the people hub. After I save them on the phone, these contacts go into the my contacts in gmail. So, I moved a few in gmail to my contacts to see if that would help, but it does not.
I did delete and add the accounts to see if makes any difference, but it does not.
Any ideas?
Thanks for you help.
Go into Settings > e-mail and accounts
Long press on Google and choose "Sync" it should sync your contacts then, and then they'll show up in the people hub.
Thank you for your help.
I have done that 10's of times, but does not help.
isn't there a setting within gmail that is required to be on for devices to pull contacts off gmail?
Thank you for your reply.
I don't see anything at the user level. There is setting to enable mobile access at the domain level that I has been enabled all along.
Fixed!
I believe I have this resolved. I moved my contacts out of the “My contacts” group in gmail and back into “My contacts” from the browser. (I did do this yesterday as well, but it did nothing)
Factory reset my hdc7 phone.
Setup my accounts again. Forced sync from settings -> email -> sync
After that it’s all good. Thank you very much for all your help.
I have my browser Gmail configured to send from my Gmail or my @gatech.edu email, so how do I select the @gatech.edu email address from the updated Gmail app?
When composing or replying to a message, you should see your default @gmail address in a bar across the top. If you tap that, it gives a drop-down menu of available addresses to use instead.
Ah, there it is now. I guess it had to sync the changes on its own. I tried manually syncing after adding the account, but it didn't give me the option until this morning.
I have 3 gmail accounts setup and id like to have it open the list of accounts when i click the gmail icon instead of going to the inbox of the last openned account. Kinda of like when i get an email notifacation in the taskbar, i slide the taskbar down and click on the notifacation, it opens the accounts list, when i have email in multiple accounts. If i have email in one account, it just opens that email.
Does anyone understand what im talking about?
So I setup my s8+ and setup my Gmail on the native email client. I selected as items arrive because I like having up to date email. When I go to delete a message on the S8+ it deletes, but shows a "deleted" sign and next to it "undo". I have since changed the setting to not ask to confirm, it still does it though. Now when I delete an email on the phone, it comes right back after a few seconds, I tested this with my Gmail opened on the website and it doesn't show deleted, however if I simply read them on the phone or mark them as read, it does correlate with Gmail and marks them as read. Testing the reverse, if I delete a message on Gmail, it does delete it automatically on the phone. What could be the problem? I've tried changing the web settings to auto expunge set to "off" and when a message is marked as deleted from the last IMAP folder move to the trash (used to be archive)
Maybe a bit more condensed. Basically the stock email app (s8+) has deleted emails keep popping back up. I have gmail on there with the "auto, as items arrive" setting. Marking as read does sync however., any ideas? Thank you!
My Gmail app has been doing this for a long time while using a secondary e-mail account within Gmail (My hotmail account).
I've never had a problem deleting Gmail e-mails though.
Just to clarify, this is for your GMAIL account correct?
Yeah, I am using the native Samsung Email client on the Galaxy s8+. When setting up my @gmail.com account., everything comes in quickly, marking as read works fine, the issue is when I delete an email, it comes back as soon as I refresh.
I have the same problem. And I think the reason is that your mail provider has the IMAP roth path folder named "INBOX"
But the samsung mail app has it as "Inbox"
This is why it works with Gmail and not other providers.
It can handle the incoming to place in correct folder. But when you delete it sends a request to the IMAP server to delete mail xxx placed in folder Inbox (Not INBOX)
And because there are no folder called Inbox on the IMAP server, nothing is removed.
Older samsungs/Android had both the option to "erase on server" and set "IMAP Root path folder" but the latest version don't
I have several accounts setup in the gmail app. Only one does this, my exchange email account for work. And it's not new and it's not related to the phone. This has been happening for years on multiple android versions and multiple devices when using the gmail client.
With third-party customers everything is in order and even with native problems did not notice.
"Unfortunately the stock android email app has the IMAP root folder names hard-coded in the app. They cannot be changed by user. The app expects the folders to be named
at the IMAP server exactly like this
Inbox
Outbox
Drafts
Sent
Junk
If IMAP-server uses different names the synchronization will not work properly"
So as I mentioned before. If Imap folder is named Inbox and not INBOX there might be problem. And it cant be fixed in other way than changing to a mail app that allows for manually setting the IMAP root folder name to INBOX
Me, too.

On my S8 phone I have 3 accounts (Gmail and TELUS) plus my Exchange account for work - and that's the only one that has this problem (Junk Folders messages reappear). Thank you for your post. Don't HAVE to have my work account on my phone so will remove it and hope that resolves this pesky issue.
