Hey there,
if if receive a new email on my gmail adress the phone instantly gets it.
But when I read/archive the mail on my computer then the phone continues to notificate me about the mail on the phone for hours.. it only stops when I open Gmail on the phone..
I have this since I own this phone. And it is still there with Android 6.0. Ofc I already tried deleting cache+data of GMail and reinstalling the updates..
Have you tried using inbox app by google instead of Gmail? Far better app in my opinion

No I have never encountered what you talk about, both arrive at the same time or so close to it
No one else encounter this problem?

The email app has recently stopped working on my Z3.
I can manually refresh the app to get emails, but for some reason it wont autosync.
Is anybody else having this issue? And know of any fixes? Thanks
Had the same issue after upgrading FW through Flash Tool. Unfortunately I didn't find the solution, so I did a factory reset.
I hope you find a solution my friend.

After playing around with the settings, I changed the sync times to every half an hour?
I am now at least getting now sync notifications, which is a good sign.
However, it's only worked for one account so far
The updated Gmail app supports using other accounts, I use it to sync my Outlook and Yahoo, you could try that. I think they will slowly depreciate the E-Mail app just like the Android Browser.
I'm new to Honor and EMUI and i'm having trouble with push notifications with Gmail, specifically that it seems to be completely broken and I only know i've recieved email when i manually unlock my phone and check. I've been all through the settings pages of Gmail and EMUI to make sure notifications are on and that Gmail is allowed to run in the background but so far i've not found anything that fixes the issue. It also seems that Gmail is a system process rather than an app so Gmail often doesn't show up in the various app lists for controling battery management/optimisations etc. I'm on EMUI 5 on my UK spec phone if that matters.
Anyone come across this before?
Thanks
Do you have unlimited data enabled for Gmail? My phone had that problem
Nope, that was not enabled. I'll enable it and see what happens.
Is your Gmail app the latest version?
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
Yup, everything is up to date. There's doesn't seem to be any real logic to it either, sometimes an email notification will come straight through and then another email minutes later wont. I'm pretty sure it's doing for Facebook Messenger too.

Is your Play Services the latest version? Because it manages the GCM notifications that Gmail uses.

I've exempt Gmail from optimization, sync is all one, no data restrictions etc.
I definitely dont get notifications during deep sleep, they only came through this morning once i'd turned the screen on.
Rommco05 said:
You lost too much if u make factory reset?

I've already done that
Actually, I haven't exempt it from optimization because Gmail doesn't even show up in the list, I think because it's seen as a system process rather than an app.

Hello there!
I've noticed, that sent e-mail are not saved/moved (don't know which mechanism should be) into "Sent" folder. Well... they are, but they're just available from phone - there's no sign of e-mails on webmail or directly on desktop e-mail application (like Thunderbird or eM Client). Does any one experience similar issues?
my email app working good , sending and incoming mails all are good
Is your email account setup as IMAP?
Besides, I remember there's an auto BCC in the Settings menu that you can set to always auto BCC yourself...

I don't have this exact issue, but I noticed that any email more than a week old seems to be removed from the app and has to be searched for manually, especially the starred emails. I'm using a Yahoo account for mine though.

I'm not the OP, but the stock mail app is just a portal to these various email servers. For some reason though, the stock app doesn't continue to store messages older than about a week and you have to search the email server to retrieve them. It's annoying, but it works.
I tried using the Gmail app, but it lacked some of the features I use in the stock app. I also tried inbox and Yahoo's own app but neither of them would connect to my work email account.
So just like the OP, I'm having some issues with the stock app but it works better for my needs than the others. If you're also using the stock app, please chime in with your experience.
On stable Android pie., Gmail keeps notfiying me that I am being switched off push to 30 min updates for exchange. Anyone know why I keep getting moved off push sync? Very annoying...
Thanks
Same here. Although I noticed this behaviour on Oreo too. If you are using exchange for work emails like me then I suggest switching to Outlook. If you really want Gmail then disable battery optimization for it.

I tried to disable but Gmail is not one of the apps that shows up under batt optimization. How do I do that?
Was there ever any solution to this? Still happening on the 6T on the official stock OOS 9.0.12.
I don't really want to go to using another mail client.

Same here on my OP3. I don't want my work email to be synced every 30min. I need it to be immediately. Any solutions yet?
Is it firmware dependent that my Xperia 5 doesn't have the email app installed?
Nvm got it from my XZ1 and attached it here if anyone wants. ?

Did you check if it is available for download from Settings - System - Software update - Apps?
And the one that you obtained from your XZ1, does it work like in XZ1? Are you able to sync the calendar?

I spent a while trying to figure out where this had gone but a suggestion that popped up on the settings page said to use the GMail app instead, which now supports accounts with POP3 or IMAP.

It is turning out to be a massive battery drain Overall a bit disappointed with this Xperia 5..... Xperia actions is gone as well, also am stuck with vertical app drawer
Why not just use Outlook, as comes with the phone? Has dark mode, calander sync and likewise,from inside the app. I use it prior to Gmail's own, on Xperia 5.

Somehow I do not find the Outlook interface as user-friendly as Sony's email app? And the last time I tried it on my Xz1 Compact, there was no option to display the calendar in System/Google Calendar..... let me give it a try now

Here Outlook syncs with g calander both ways, and to 3rd party widgets and back. Just tried again to be sure.

I don't really notice the battery drain as I've always charged my phone twice a day being a heavy user.
The vertical app drawer is proving annoying. Reordering apps is not smooth and no support for icon appearance ?

Can the Sony Email app be used on non-sony devices? I just moved from my XZ2 Compact to a Samsung Galaxy S10e and the stock email app is horrible. In desperation I downloaded Outlook for Android to see if that would help, but that's even worse.
If it can't be used, are there any alternatives that look, feel and behave as identically as possible to the Sony Email app?

Why not use k9 for email it's a very good mail client. Available in playstore and f-droid. In f-droid there are also prereleases too (the k9 people are doing a big overhaul of k9 just the moment.

It doesn't support modern versions of Exchange.
What was it about the Sony Email app that was so great? If you get an APK will it work flawlessly?
