Have been unable to find elsewhere where this issue is acknowledged by Samsung or any work around.
Two Samsung Gear updates ago S7 email notifications from the stock samsung email app to S2 stopped respecting per email account notification settings. Now when you set email notifications to on or off in the gear software, it is on or off for all your email accounts. This makes S2 almost unusable if one of your accounts is high volume. And if you turn it off, you don't get important email notifications.
The S7 notifications continue to correctly respect the Samsung email app per account notification settings on the phone.
Can anyone here confirm the issue and if it is in line for a patch? It started the same time that people noted that exchange and other email was no longer displaying on their S2 and had to be read on phone. Different issue but same patch broke both.
Any info welcome. Considering dropping the S2 from use.

I have been trying to setup my hotmail on my new galaxy s7 edge. When I go to just sign in on the email app from samsung. It will just spend and tell me checking incoming servce settings. I can manually setup the email account but it wont send or retrieve emails. Does anyone else have this issue or any ways to fix it. Thanks in advance.
I have the same issue and I would suggest using Alto or Newton
Ok to get rid of the PIN issue I did a factory reset on my Gear S3 which solved that problem. But now, even though in the Email application within the Samsung Gear App I have the corporate email account turned off, my Gear has prompted my a couple of times that to get corporate email I have to set a PIN because of our AD policy... is there a way to "turn this off" / remove the corporate email account from the email application so I don't get prompted to set a PIN or am I just going to have to live with this and just ignore the prompt when it comes up?
The problem is your phone , if you remove the corparate account from there then no pin issues. I use corporate email and only when i pickup the watch from the charger it asks for a pin

I was afraid that was going to be the answer.. so since I need to have the email on my phone I will just have to live with the PIN prompt.. thanks...

Try a different email app on your phone. I use Nine, and it works great for my work's Exchange email. It doesn't have the same security issues as other email programs., like the built in Samsung/android on. I never have issues with my watch and PIN prompts, and I do get notifications and emails from Nine on the watch.

I second highlordkram's recommendation on using Nine for corporate email. I have used it for over a year and find it to be an excellent program to manage email. It plays very well with the S3, easy to read, mark read, delete emails from the watch, no PIN prompt.
I 3rd Nine. Excellent replacement for corporate email.
For all those suggesting another application my question to you would be does your current Active Directory policies requires your phone to have a PIN to lock the phone if you get your corporate email to it? that is what caused my Gear S3 to need a pin...
Several months ago, using my iPhone and Samsung account, I set reactivation lock on my Gear S3 watch for security purposes. Last month I switched to Galaxy S8 and I successfully paired my watch with my phone using the same email.
After a while, I had to change the country of Samsung account to receive notification emails in English but I couldn't do it using the website, therefore, I had to completely delete the account from Samsung portal and re-register it using the same email.
After this action, Samsung prompted login error on my Samsung S8 device which by a signing out the account and signing back using the same email and password, it solved the issue.
Now here is the problem. Yesterday after a factory reset of my Galaxy S8, I tried to pair my watch with my phone again but during the reactivation process, the watch didn't accept my Samsung account. I came to this conclusion that the activation lock somehow registered a key on my old account and by deleting the account I deleted that too. Samsung account should have informed me before deleting the account that I have an activation lock on my account and I can't remove the account until I unpair the device with my account. I have already contacted Samsung support and they gave me a non-relevant answer.
How do you think I should solve this issue which is caused by an error from Samsung?
Me too have the same issue... How did you solve this???
Remember : DO NOT DELETE A SAMSUNG ACCOUNT, not reversible. You lost your activation lock AND all your bought apps for this account
Samsung not responsible if you lock a watch and delete the lock account and not know if you lock or not a watch.
I recently switched phones from an android to the Iphone 8 plus. I also have a Samsung Gear S3 watch that worked flawlessly with my android phone. I realize it will be limited with Iphone, however I am getting texts and other notifications I just can't respond, which I know is how it will be.
My question relates to email. I don't get my email on my watch now unless I put the Outlook app on my phone. I was wondering if there was any way to use the Apple email function on the phone and still get emails on my Gear S3 without having to download Outlook? I haven't seen any options on the Samsung Gear S app that I downloaded
Thank you
