[Q] Tasker and Email Sync problem

Hi all,
Not 100% sure if this is the right place to post this (if not could someone please move?), but I have a problem I could do with some help with!
I currently have gmail, hotmail (for personal emails) and the normal android email (for work emails) apps on my Galaxy S3. These are set to receive emails all day long, however as most of the time at work I am in front of a PC, I would like to stop syncing from these apps at those times.
I have set up tasker to recognise when I am in the vicinity of my work wireless router, and gone to the Net section and disabled auto-sync when the tasker profile is activated.
This seems to work perfectly with gmail and hotmail, however my work exchange emails still come through on my phone. I recall reading that this might be because there are separate setting for sync actually in the email app?
Is there any way anyone can think of to get this to work?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: It does appear I just received a notification for a hotmail email too? But all others haven't come through to my phone today, so that may just be a blip?

Nobody have any ideas? I'd be happy to explore other ways of achieving the same...

[SOLVED] [Q] No Hangout Notifications

Solution:
Deleted Google account from my phone and re-added it. Hangouts seem to work now
Bit of a weird issue, wondering if anyone has some thoughts. I don't receive notifications from a Hangout, SMS notifications work fine from the Hangouts app though. I've checked the usual sources; I'm not reading the notifications on another machine, and I have notifications enabled in the settings. I also don't seem to be syncing properly, as in the Hangout messages I receive take a long time to show up even when I have a strong network connection. Any thoughts on what this might be?
I'm on the CM 11 M1 snapshot.
EDIT
So looking around it seems the Google account associated with the Hangouts is reporting a sync error however when I go to see what the error is no Google component has an error.How would I go about logging the account syncing, the log might have the info there

Does this happen over wifi as well as 3G/4G?

Yup, network type does not matter.

I had this exact same problems for the past couple days:
- not being able to receive Hangout messages
- SMS worked fine from Hangout app
- sending Hangout messages were ok
- sync errors in APP DATA
I tried everything from logging on/off from other devices, and logging on/off from the Nex5 and rebooting several times. None of this worked. Last night, I completely deleted my google account on the Nex5 and relogged in. That did the trick. But I'm still experiencing sync error under APP DATA.

[Q] New e-mail alert

Hello everyone,
My question is that if there is any solution / answer when someone send me an email and it doesn't alert me at the right time. In the settings of the mail option it has 4 choices (none, 5,15,30,1 hour) but it hasn't right now.

Same it seems to not sync to well, maybe the mail app is closing down now n then and only sync manually when opened I don't no but it isn't very good.
Sent from my HUAWEI MT7-TL10

Install a 3rd party email app. Cloudmagic, AquaMail, Nine, etc. Thats the only solution for it so far

I want to share my experience with that - I often, read most of the time, don't get email alert on time. The mails are there but the phone is just not ringing...I tried several 3rd party email apps and the end result is always the same. From what I observed, the only on time delivery notification is still the google mail application. For me that's bad since I have 5 email accounts that I constantly need to be alerted of - shame I have to power on the phone, unlock it and check for mail...waste of energy (phones AND mine)...

Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync

None of my Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync accounts are syncing automatically anymore on my VZW Galaxy S6. I have them set to receive Push Notifications, no Peak Schedule is set so they should come through as soon as they arrive on the exchange server. The only way to see if I have emails is to open each account's inbox. Very annoying. I'm missing important emails when I'm away from my computer. I have two Exchange accounts through different companies so it's not my company policy or server settings. Everything worked fine before Marshmallow.
I have notifications allowed for the Email app.
All permissions allowed for the email app.
AutoSync is turned on for all accounts.
I've tried with Power Saver on and off seeing as power saver now seems to turn off background syncing when the device is asleep.
Here are my account settings:
-Show Images: yes
-Auto Download attachments: yes
-Download only via WiFi: No
-Sync Schedule: Auto (when received)
-Period to sync: 1 month
-Limit Retrieval Size: No limit
-Limit Retrieval Size when roaming: No Limit
-In case of conflict: Server Has Priority

Have you made any changes to phone like upgrading anything that might effect knox ?
Exchange servers I believe go through knox, so any changes may effect how you are receiving the mail.

No, not that I'm aware of. Just updated to marshmallow and did a factory reset immediately after to have a fresh slate. Emails still sync manually.
I also noticed that now all my emails if/when they sporadically roll in say "Content Hidden" in the notification preview. This was not the case in Lollipop. Maybe the same security setting that blocks notification previews of the text is blocking the syncing?

the problem is with marshmallow and Microsoft exchange.
You may need to up date the exchange to be compatible with marshmallow.
The new marshmallow update has caused Microsoft to break the links from the exchange to the phone. Manual is unaffected because manual sync means basically you are polling the email and asking it to reconnect to the exchange.
Marsh mellow is a new UI and firmware which unfortunately still has bugs to be worked out.

I think it's Power Saver mode. It's now extremely aggressive in Marshmallow. It turns off sync. Period.
Pretty much only SMS and calls get through.
I noticed that if I wrote an email, pressed send, then immediately hit the power button to turn off my screen to pocket my phone while using power saver, it would immediately kill any syncing before the email could be sent. I was wondering why I had 10 unsent emails in my outbox. You must keep the screen on until the email sends or it won't go anywhere. Nor will they show up in your inbox unless you manually check.
Man... regular power saver may as well be Ultra Power Saver now. I used to leave it on 24/7 and get 1.5 days out of my phone with my phone still being fully usable. Now I don't get any more, in fact battery life is definitely worse thanks to the ridiculous auto-brightness control that's way too bright 90% of the time.

Receiving multiple times the same e-mails in Gmail

Hello,
i have a odd problem with Gmail on a Nexus 5X running stock Android 6.0.1. I didn't find any solution using Google so far...
What I did:
- changed my phone from Nexus 4 to a Nexus 5X, on the Nexus 4 everything worked fine (running CyanogenMod 13)
- set up two mail accounts in Gmail (one is GMX and one of my university). Incoming servers are both IMAP.
- set the synchronization to every 30min
The problem:
every 30min when the mails are synchronized I get a notification for new mail, I read them, everything is fine. The next 30min when it gets synchronized again I get the same mails marked as unread (plus additional mails I may received). Even if I delete the mails on my phone I get them again. Same behaviour on both accounts.
Shouldn't there be something like a respond to the server that the client already received/deleted those mails? I think I also used IMAP on the Nexus 4 and no problems with it.
I hope someone knows how to fix it, it would be highly appreciated!
Thanks

solved
A Gmail update (v. 6.6.126913422) today solved the issue!
