Gmail sync issue - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone experiencing Gmail sync issues with the All Mail tab? I have set it to sync the last 30 days only, but the mails I see in the tab are ALL except the last thirty days of mail. For example, the "newest" mail is from May 9. This is present on both of my accounts. I tried clearing cache, removing and readding the accounts but to no avail. Setting sync all doesn't show any emails. It looks like this setting sets how long not to sync... I am running the M Preview, so maybe someone else is experiencing this as well?

Ok, I set so that no mail is synced, voila, everything shows up... The fails of Google are just cute.

k9 sync problem

I can't seem to configure k9 correctly, I have set it so it will only sync the last 25 messages and only from the last 2 weeks. But it syncs all other mail aswell, until it reaches 25 messages.
When I manually sync it, it first removes all messages older then 2 weeks and then downloads them again. It happens to my hotmail and i'm using a custom rom from lightning for the sgs2.
Anyone that has a solutions for me?

[Q] Problems after loading Gummy Charged

After loading Gummy Charged on my phone, I'm having 3 problems. One is that my hotmail email keeps sending me notices of new mail even after I have checked them off as being read.
Secondly, I can't seem to add my yahoo mail account. Keeps telling me my info is wrong.
The third is that my gmail account isn't syncing my phone contacts. It is listed as a synced account but will not show the contacts. I have even gone to the verizonwireless website and tried to sync there. It says that I have successfully done so, but the contacts still do not appear on the phone.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm not sure I can help with the first two. The first one I have dealt with since day one, even on stock. The second one I have no idea.
For the third one, I may be able to help. I had this same problem and it ended up being a google thing. To solve the problem I had to sign on to gmail and go to contacts. There were a slew of people listed under uncategorized. I moved them to my contacts, synced my phone, and all was well. I hope that helps.

Well I reset the phone hoping it would help and it took care of the gmail account. Still having probs with Hotmail and I just gave up on adding the Yahoo and got the app for it.
There are also no longer notifications showing for messages or emails on the icons. Is that something that was removed from Gummy?

[Q] Tweak Google Mail Sync?

Is this possible? My sync tends to be really slow sometimes. I've been waiting about 20 mins now for Gmail to push a message to my device. I'm using the TrickDroid v3 ROM.
I cleared my cache for Google Mail and that seemed to work. However, while on a mobile connection Gmail refuses to sync.
I cleared my cache, cleared all the data for Gmail and even deleted the account and re-added it. Still nothing?!?!?! IM and the web works over 3G/HSPA just not sync.
The sync use to he so much better about a year ago. They kept updating the app and other thongs and now the sync just sucks. When people tell me they sent me an email I'm forced to go into gmail and refresh myself or ill stay waiting forever.

My problem was an APN issue, I just needed to clear out some other settings I had in there. The sync seems to work fine and it's quick enough.

Nexus 5 / Android 4.4 Stock Email App - Sync issues

Hi all,
Moved from a Galaxy S3 to a Nexus 5.
Everything is working great, with the exception of the stock Email app syncing with an Exchange account.
I connect to a zimbra server using the same settings as on he gs3. I connect fine and get all my email loaded. The issue is that syncing of the inbox doesn't work. Sub folders seem to but the main inbox will not even manually sync.
I have cleared the caches, removed and re-added the mail account and I still have the same issue. I can send emails fine. I have also factory reset the phone and still have same prob. Syncing is ticked in every possible setting and my gmail app push syncs fine.
Any ideas? I am at a loss and need my company email as I work on call in the evening and weekends.
Thanks!!
I have the same problem with my N5. My exchange email account would start working again if I force it to re-verify the account settings. But after a while, it would stop working.
I've been using Nexus phones since Nexus One. This is the first time we see an update on the default email app. But it doesn't look like Google has done a great job verifying/QA their app before releasing it to public.
I'm thinking to open up an official support case with Google support if you haven't already done so.
Actually, haven't you tried changing the Security Type in Incoming settings from "SSL/TLS" to "SSL/TLS (Accept all certificates)"? I just changed it on mine, and waiting to see if it helps resolve the issue.
I'm having issues with stock email client and company exchange, too.
When set to push, as i usually did on the n4, it won't let the n5 properly go to sleep, but phone keeps awake, and consuming quite a lot of battery overnight.
Sync also has stopped yesterday, but started again 2 hours later, therefore I'm not sure wether it's the n5's or exchange's fault.

Thanks for your replies. Yes I have tried this, I have tried every security method (except none, which defaults to SSL/TLS anyways).
I notice if I look under Accounts > Corporate and then my Exchange account, the sync / cancel sync animation is on a constant loop. My S3, for example, just sais 'Last sync at xxxx'. etc. Do you guys notice this also?
Something deff not right with this. How do you log a ticket with Google support? I have tried with Google Groups but getting no response.
Thanks.
Same problem here. Refreshes fine when I manually sync but push is not working. Was working fine on my Galaxy Nexus/Jellybean
I'm not experiencing any of these issues, my sync is working fine, as is the app and battery usage

I have had to move off the stock app and onto K9. My problem is that the stock app is deleting emails from the server when deleted from the phone, even when I make sure it is set never to do so. My account is a POP account and I have never had this problem with any other app on any other device. I tried recreating the account but it was the same problem.
6 people in the company I work for got a Nexus 5. I tried to set up one of their email accounts yesterday, but it wouldn't do anything. It seemed like it accepted the account, but it wouldn't sync any old mail, and it wouldn't notify about new mail. New mail would only show up about 15 minutes after being sent, and only after the inbox was manually refreshed.
Tried K9 mail. Same thing. I have never had any luck with K9 mail, though.
I'm hoping Google fixes this rather quickly. I'm a developer and I need my work email to always be available, because I am essentially on-call all day.
It seems like Google, in their rush to get KitKat out, did way less QA this time around than they have in the past.

This is similar to what I am seeing. After initial sync, I would never get any new messages. Check your subfolders if you have any, these seem to sync fine.
Whats the process to raise this with Google?

Subfolders were not syncing for me yesterday, however, I'll have to wait until my phone comes in today to really test this. Most of the people I work with don't set up their subfolders correctly in Zimbra because they can never get the filtering to work, and I am always too busy to do it for them. As a result, they make subfolders, but just drag-and-drop what they want in that subfolder from the main inbox-- an utter pain in the ass.
In 4.3, "Take Bug Report" is one of the choiced under Developer Options. If that is still present in 4.4, that would probably be the best place to do it.
If that doesn't work, there is always this: http://source.android.com/source/report-bugs.html
Same as I'm seeing too. Initial email download worked fine. Manual sync works. Push sync is not downloading new emails

Got mine working eventually by following this youtube video - GT5uHXLO298 - sorry won't let me post a link as I'm new! Just search YouTube for this reference number.
Took 3 attempts. First time it got stuck in a sync loop. Second time it stuck at waiting for sync. Third times a charm and now getting push emails.
Slick Google, real slick!

Thanks for posting the link to the video. My auto-sync data is ticked in the Data Usage setting. If I turn off then back on again, it still makes no difference to the sync.
The thing with my issue is that I cant even manually sync, if I try, it does not update any emails which have been delivered to my Outlook client. The fact it only affects my Inbox is strange too, my subfolders sync fine.

Yes, I'm getting the exact same issue. Exchange push sync is working fine, but the e-mail app is keeping the phone awake. My phone went from 100% to 41% battery in 4 hours! I have changed the setting to check mail every 5 minutes rather than push to see if this helps in any way.
I have raised this with our Zimbra provider, and they have said they have seen this on another 4.4 device and are currently investigating. Still not sure if its a Zimbra and/or Email App issue at the moment - I am leaning towards a Zimbra issue but will wait and see.
For now I would personally think oft an KitKat issue, as my problem persists with an MS Exchange Server, not Zimbra.

Zimbra Exchange Problems
I'm having all the same issues with Zimbra Exchange on my Nexus 5. Sync will work the first time. Then it will either stop or get stuck in a sync loop.
I have just been playing with the settings and seem to have gotten it to work for a short time (well more than it has done so far)..
On the mail profile set the Days to Sync from 3 days to 'All'. I also un-ticked the 'Sender Image' under General Settings. After a few mins, it ceased pushing emails again, and the sync loop was showing under account sync settings. Its like it was working whilst it performed its 1st sync, then died straight after
My corporate email account has been pushing and such just fine since I set it up yesterday, we run an Exchange 2007 server at my office. Not sure why it isn't working for you guys..

Hi everybody,
I have the sames trouble with my new Nexus5.
I had a Nexus 4 with an Exchange Push Account and a Zimbra Push Account. No problem !
Yesterday,I configured my Nexus5 with exactly the same configuration. And that is a tragedy !
With a perfect similar configuration, the Nexus5 is unable to synchronize email for Exchange and Zimbra ... For Zimbra Sync loop and drains the battery.
Let's hope Google responds quickly
I am reassured that I am not alone

Sync issues

I have been having issues with my Google contacts syncing of my AT&T Galaxy S6. When I go to account setting, under contacts it shows a sync error when this happens. The contacts sync after I restart my phone, does anyone have any idea why this happens? Also for a while other apps such as my email weren't syncing as well, unless I actually opened the app. That seems to be fixed now, but all of that seemed to be related.
