1) It constantly tells me I have new emails when in fact I don't. It can be an email I received an hour ago. I'll still get 2 more notices that it is a new email even if I have read it or deleted it. I have notifications turned off for Gmail, but I am also using the regular email client to access Gmail. No matter the notification I get I think I am seeing the email via the regular phone email client.
2) Gchat, how do I bring this up? if someone Gchat's me I get a notification. but i can't seem to find a way to start a gChat conversation with someone on my phone.
Gchat is under Gtalk and that where you would go to reply to them. My Gmail has yet to give me any problems so I can't help you with that. Maybe you should try deleting your account and adding it again.
The problem isn't Gmail, it's the default client. Any time it downloads a message from the server, you get a new mail notification whether it has been read or not. This means that every time you delete a message the message it loads to replace the deleted message will trigger a new message notification. This would happen for any e-mail account.
That behavior caused me to just avoid using the default mail app altogether. I just use the pre-installed Gmail app instead.
Yeah I have the same issue with the defaul Email app. When I delete a new message 30 minutes later when the refresh is run it loads up an old email message I have responded to or dealt with 100x stating its new and alerts me of it.

Well from reading the message it looks like he is using the Gmail app but it is giving him problems. I do not use the email app that comes with the captivate because I can not use my yahoo account on it. I do not know. We should wait for the OP to reply and see if he is using the Gmail app or the Email app.

No, i wasn't very clear i guess. I'm using the standard email client to access gmail.
The email program that came with the Captivate give me tons of problems, one is the problem with showing new email but there is none.
I've been using the gmail email app for gmail. For non gmail accounts I use MailDroid.
Is it just me, or are other Captivate users having problems with the email not updating? I have my email set to check for new emails once an hour, but I only rarely get notifications that I have a new message. I have to check my email manually most of the time.
Also, I never kill the email app so it is running all of the time.

Which email are you using? Yahoo! With default email client? Then yes it has issues over WI-FI. The email does not work on wifi only works on 3g or edge.

I have this problem using the touch wiz email app over cellular and wifi. Regular gmail and yahoo aps work. Have to reboot, then the touch wiz email works. Touch wiz email blows, though.

I guess I am using the default email app... I assumed it was a standard android app on all android phones. I like the app because I can have multiple email accounts in one place.
So is this a touch wiz app? Or is it an android app?
Thanks for the replies!

I had the same probleme before, I switched to K-9 mail and it works fine now
delete your email app's cache and or storage.
Don't use task killers.

The only problem I'm having with my email is with my corporate exchange account on both my Vibrant and Captivate.
I will get notifications about mail sent to my inbox, but I have rules set up to help organize my inbox, ex. mail from engineering dpt goes to a folder, and emails about project updates from group abc and xyz go to another folder.
I don't get notifications OR email for those emails unless I go into that specific folder and hit refresh, and then I get all those emails.
Although sometimes I will get mail notifications 7 Unread Emails but there won't be any in my inbox, nor will there be any in the folders.

This is what I did when I had the same problem with the Gmail client. This resolved the issue.

Where might one find such a thing? I'm not having any issues right now, but have run into e-mail FC issues which were resolved by removing and re-creating the e-mail accounts. If a simple delete of cache data will fix it that would be a faster solution.
im having this problen too so where do i find the cache and storage? im new to this
I have only had my at&t Captivate for a few days, and I have noticed that my email client runs about 4 emails behind. When me IMAP server receives an email the email client sees it and notifies me, and if I'm watching it I can see the email for a split second, but it removes it from the client. I won't be able to see that email until I get another email on my IMAP server (4 emails behind).
I saw on this thread that someone had better luck with K9 client, so I loaded it to try. I am seeing the same basic results, except that when a new email comes in I can see it till the client polls again. Then the new one disappears and is replaced with the most next email in my account, staying 4 emails behind.
I can check this at any time by looking at my webmail or my iPad.
Can any tell me how to clear out the cache? I have completely deleted the email account and reconfigured the account with same results. I believe it is an OS issue.
Thanks!

To clear cache, from home screen:
Menu
Settings
Applications
Manage Applications
Menu - Filter-All
Scroll down to Email. Click it and clear cache. I've never actually seen anything in there on my phone, however.
On another note, I did find that ATK (Advanced Task Killer) was correlated with emails hanging in my Outbox and not sending for my Exchange Server account. I put Email on the ATK Ignore list and that solved it. (I'm only using the ATK widget to kill things like when I exit a program and GPS keeps running, but even that seemed to screw up my email.)

I have now loaded the Bionix1.2 ROM and I am having the same problem with it. I find it strange that it's only me having this problem. It stays exactly 4 emails behind.

I have now loaded the Cognition.v2.2.Beta4 and I still have the same problem. I have tried the K9 email cient, and obviousley have wipe the phone many times doing the ROM changes, and the problem remains. I would greatly appreciate any moderators feedback or help! I really love this phone and the Froyo ROM, but I need my email to work.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
I am running this app on a D2 and have both the stock email app and the official Gmail app running as I am trying to figure out why I don't receive email notifications.
I have both apps listed in my monitored app list but Missed It is not picking up the fact that I have new unread emails.
Any one have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong or have any suggestions?
Thanks.
you need to turn on missedit under android settings > acessibility.
but beware, new gmail update will not work anymore with missedit.
Hello all,
I am finding the stock email app on my Mate 7 to massively let down a great phone.
The issues are:
- there doesn't seem to be a way to easily manually check for mail. On other stock apps I have used, you just drag down or similar to check the server,
-The email app seems to stop checking for emails half way through the day. The only way to fix it seems to be to reset the phone, and then all the messages come flooding in.
Is there a fix for these issues? Alternatively, is the a basic email app that works well, is free and has no apps?
Thanks!
Use gmail app instead
Has anyone using the stock app? I am thinking of switching back to stock app but want to know if it's good or not? Rating on play store not so good
You know, I tried it and it worked ok. I've been using Gmail since it was beta, and for ease of use, I am so accustomed to that I will likely not change.
I'm coming from Outlook and I don't like the stock email app from Samsung. I went straight back to Outlook. Something about how emails are managed and how they are displayed kind of puts me off
What email server are you using (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo)?
Mine doesn't recognize either Gmail or yahoo so I end up installing the app for both servers, (Gmail app and Yahoomail app).
Is there a way to turn off the notification inside the app when there's a new version available? I want to stay on the current version.
Is there a way to turn this notification off?
