Is there any way to turn off the option to undo when an email is deleted or shorten the duration that the undo message is on the screen. I can't open any other emails for 5 seconds or so while the undo message is up on the screen.
It gets very annoying opening an email to read it, hit delete, and then have to wait to open the next one only to repeat the process.

Are you referring to gmail or samsung mail? Probably the easiest thing to do is find another email client. The mail.com client is based on K-9, but has a very familiar interface and uses the more conventional "are you sure" type warning with the checkbox not to show again.

I'm talking about the Samsung email app. I was thinking I was going to have to check out another email app to get around it. I've used K-9 before. My email account is on an exchange server and it was hard to find a good app that worked well with exchange.
Im not entirely clear on what youre talking about but i have no issues deleting emails and just taping another one with the deleted message with the undo button still there.

Hi,
After upgrading to official wm6.5, the inbox pops up from time to time. Sometimes it's the sms inbox, other times it's mail inbox. Usually this happens after a message is recieved and read. Then every 1 or 2 min for maybe 10 minutes.
Is it some setting? Am I missing something?
I see this....very frustrating. Do you have several email accounts set up? I have an exchange as well as an imap account and I suspect its when I have the 2 set up that it does it.
No, I only have a gmail account. Sometimes it's the mail, sometimes it's the sms.
However, if I leave the sms program open, it doeasn't happen.
I mean, if I just press the home button, instead of the close soft button.
I have an annoying bug with the gmail apk.
When I hit the "sync" button to look for new emails (I have autosync turned off) and I have a new mail, the app would show me "Inbox (1)" in the upper left corner, meaning there should be one new email. However, sometimes/often that one new email just won't appear in the emails list. I can see my old mails but the new one just isn't there, altough the (1) is displayed. When I go to my the "All mails" Category instead of the "inbox", I can see it, also when I look it up on the PC.
This happens sometimes more, sometimes less often (last time yesterday), and I have no Idea why so. Sometimes I would get for example 3 new mails, but only 2 are displayed
Anyone else with that problem?
me too facing this
You don't have to "sync" gmail as it uses push. So just check the "sync" option and emails should get pushed to your phone when they are received. Why did you turn that option off?
Sent from my brain
Do you refer to the "Auto-Sync" option under Accounts & sync? Because I cannot find a "Push" option anywhere...
If you mean that, I deactivated it because it sucks alot of energy as it refreshes all the time in order to fetch your mails. I'd rather just go into the app and check for new mails myself.
And the fact that sometimes I see the mails in my inbox and sometimes I don't (only the number in brackets appears in the upper left corner but no mail) tells me that this is indeed a bug.
How come only 2 people are having this?
That's not how PUSH works

That's not how PUSH works. Resources are NOT used, or used so little to be insignificant when you have GMail set up to Sync. Basically, as long as there are no messages, you will never get a notification, and your phone will not check mail. When a message is sent to you, ONLY THEN will your phone "do something" by displaying the fact that you have a message.
However, if you use HTC's mail function, that's another story. There you have to actually decide how often you want the app to check mail, or do it manually, as you are doing now. So, even if you get no mail, it will still check as often as you have it set up to do so. This uses far more resources.
Again, if you have GMail set up properly, just leave it alone. It will only "do something" when there is mail. Otherwise, nothing.

Thank you for the input, much appreciated. Guess I had the wrong Idea of how Push works. I know people kept saying that it eats battery life like crazy on the iphone back then.
So, is "Auto-Sync on" (Accounts & sync menu) = Push on?
Because I still can't find an entry that says push.
Finally, I still have that bug in gmail....
Hello all,
Ok - this is really mind boggling and as such I decided to make an account and ask all you experts about it.
I used to have an HTC Thunderbold and with its very poor battery, I had set my 5 emails to synch manually. So, whenever I felt like it, I would just go to settings and click on sync all.
Yesterday I got my Galaxy S3. I rooted it right away, and then plugged in all my email accounts. 5 accounts - 3 gmail, 1 yahoo, and 1 private. I set them up all under the stock app, because I don't like the gmail app and I don't want to download any other apps. That's how I had them set up with my Thunderbolt too.
Now, with the Galaxy S3, the battery is better, so I have set it to check for new emails/sync every few minutes during peak hours and every hour during off-peak hours. But I am just wasting time here - let me just get to the problem:
If I go to Settings -> Email (under Accounts), then all my email accounts are there but the little "loading circles" are greyed out and they all say "Sync disabled". I have a screenshot that I wanted to post but as a new user I am not allowed. So, the button at the bottom of that screen that reads "Sync all" simply doesn't do anything. I click it and it stops loading in a split second.
If I click on each individual account out of that list, then the only option I have is to Sync or Delete the account. If I go to the settings of each email account, then I see that "Sync Email" is checked on all of them, and I have edited the sync schedule for each of them too.... So... how is it that they all say "Sync disabled"??
Moreover, and most importantly, how can I change it so that when I click on Sync all, ALL my email accounts are actually synced?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

. . . at the top of that Accounts & Sync screen is a "switch" to turn "on" or "off" the sync capability . . . should be toggled to a "green" colored ON. . .
Over the past couple of days, when I receive an email, I get a Facebook messenger style chat head pop up, with an actual pop up of the email message. It's really rather annoying because it steals the focus away from whatever I was doing, so if I was in the middle of typing a message, the focus would instead be given to the pop up, so I would be typing in that. It even appears over my lock screen (I don't have any lock screen security), but means I don't have to unlock my phone to interact with the pop up. And yes, in exactly the same was as Facebook Messenger, I can press and drag the chat head to the bottom, where a little trash icon pops up, to remove it from the screen.
I have been searching online for anything about this, but can't find any information, and I've searched through the settings to try and disable it, but nothing appears obvious.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I'm running Android 6.0.1 with the Gmail android app (version 6.5-1.123769152.release).
I've attached a screenshot so you can see what I'm talking about.
I found the problem.. It was a third party app I had downloaded, Notifly. I have since removed it

Does anyone know a workaround for using the stock email app. I absolutely hate using it but I can't get the correct notifications and things to work on my watch if I don't. I was using Aquamail on my phone but it doesn't really work on the watch very well. This thing need root! My Huawei is fun but I do like the S3 better.
I use Nine Outlook for Android, it plays very well with both Tizen and Android Wear. I don't create emails from my watch but when I get an email that comes in on Nine I can delete/mark as read/flag for follow up/show on phone/clear/reply/reply all. I mostly either mark as read or delete the emails. I occasionally respond.
It works great. If you are looking to create an email you can't do it with Nine on the watch.
I use my mail app, which has all my email account in one app.
To see the notifications I use an app called notification wear.
Once installed you get all the notifications for email, whatsapp, facebook and so on. It also stores your recieves messages so you reply to them. I like the stock notification where once you have opened it, it's gone.

What isn't explained too well is how to delete a message.
So I'll try to explain.
For example, if you receive a whatsapp message. You swipe left once to read, you can then scroll up and down.
Swipe left twice to reply, you can rely by typing or voice.
To delete that message. Go back to 1st screen of the message and swipe right.
When you receive a message, it stores the sender. So you can reply at any time.
Just one major drawback. When you turn off the watch, you loose all contacts that messaged you. So you need to wait till they send again and then it is stored until your restart your watch.

I downloaded and installed it yesterday on my S3 Frontier. I had high hopes as I've been looking for a way to display notifications from my default mail app on my Samsung phone - which is Aquamail - and the problem is that sometimes new email notifications come up on the watch and other times they don't - there's just no consistency. But frankly this Notifications Wear app is awful.
Firstly, it doesn't actually integrate with the native notifications interface on the S3 watch (which is found by turning bezel anti-clockwise from home screen) but instead the notifications come in via its own app on the Gear, so you have to run that. An then the app interface itself is awful. Looks like it was designed by a 2 year old. The first line or two of the notification displays in a tiny letterbox style space. And it's also not intuitiave at all how to read them fully. I kept accidentally deleting notifications completely by swiping right after tapping on the notifications. The app developer also doesn't seem to have even settled on the name of his app. The app logo calls it "Notifications Wear Style" but the app title is "Notifications Style Gear S2/S3". On your watch it displays app name as "NWS S2". And you have to install the separate app on your phone - which is not of course a problem in ittself - it's just that again the app is hideous. I can honestly say this is the most amateur looking and poorly designed app I've EVER seen!
I don't have such a problem with it. Yes it does not interact with the native notification but I turn it off and just accept this app. As long as you receive the notification it does not matter if it's the native app or not.
As you I made the mistake of swiping right and deleting everything but once I realised what I was doing I easily adapted. I can use the bezel instead of swiping to see the message, reply or delete.
Correct the first screen is a small window of the message, turn the bezel or swipe to the left for the full message and you can scroll up and down to read it all.
There is an option to change the font size if it's too big or small.
It could do with better instructions, once you get the hang of it, it's easy.
Receive message notification :
Swipe left once to read, twice to reply.
Delete is swipe right.
I use MY MAIL for my emails. I have Hotmail, Gmail and yahoo,i receive all of them.
As for the appearance, yes it could be much better, but is there another app that can do better than this?

Maye there is not a better app available, but I am trying to use this on on a phone which costs 350 - 400 dollars depending where you buy it, so I don't want an app on the phone that looks like it was designed by a two year old. Sorry but it's just awful.
For me, functionality comes before appearance and its not that bad.
When I receive a whatsapp message, the background is of the photo from the sender.
When I receive an email it's just plain black.
The issue I have is when you turn your watch off and you loose all messages and contacts. Messages I don't mind loosing so much as they are still stored on the phone. But I'd like to have my contacts stored on the watch.
Until someone comes up with a better alternative then I'm happy using this one.
