[Q] Gmail inbox issue - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have very bothering bug in my gmail app. I know that I am not the only one but I have not found any solution. Maybe you may help.
Simply, when a mail comes, the notification appears but usually (not always) no new mail appears in my inbox. Sometimes new mails can be found under labels. But usually I cannot open them, they are not in the inbox but there is a number in counter. Going to app settings and deleting it helped but only for the first time.
It is really bothering not being able to open my mails in my phone, especially in the original Google app I am desperate because I do not want to use other e-mail apps. I use gmail so I want use gmail app.
Anyone met this and solved? Thank you!!

Sending Email Twice

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone else have this problem with the Mail app? I use my google email, through the mail app, and it sends the same email twice.
Thanks!
Rez
I just noticed this same issue on my Evo. Sent an email this morning and noticed it had sent twice, one minute after the first. I'm using a Google Apps account via the Mail app.
Just a thought, but you said you were using your gmail account through the mail app... You know that the Gmail app is already set up for your gmail account? So if I understand you correctly, you have your gmail set up twice on the phone... I may be mistaken, but if that's the case, sending from the mail app, might cause a synced send from the Gmail app as well? Try removing your gmail account from the mail app and send a message to test this out.
No, I the account in my Mail app is a Google Apps account that uses my work domain. I do have a separate Gmail account set up through the Gmail app, but this is a different account. Only the Google Apps account is doing it. It seems to be a common problem people have had, but the recipient only gets one copy, so it's just an annoyance on my end. Although it does show up twice in the Gmail thread, so maybe subsequent replies would have that duplicate in them, not that most people would even notice. Still. . . .
Maybe the haptic feedback is making the screen register as a double push with that quick vibrate? Sorry just crazy theory...

[Q] Old/read emails are showing up as unread

This has been bothering me for the longest time and I just can't figure it out. Hopefully someone else can shed some light.
I use k9 email with my webmail through network solutions. I have it set to never delete messages when I receive them, only when I remove them from either inbox. This is so that I can get them on both my phone and laptop. Well I constantly have new email reminders popping up, but when email is opened, it is emails that I have already read, usually older than a week.
Anyone else run into this problem and is there any way to fix i?. This is very annoying. As far as I can remember, this behavior was the same with the default mail app as well.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Contacts - All contacts showing up in email apps, no way to get rid of them

Hi,
I have seen various topics on contacts syncing and how to avoid sync with Google account to pollute the Contacts on the phone with what is not part of "My Contacts". I have been to apply most of this but it seems that it is only partial:
I can get the People application to show only the contacts I want, this is fine.
The issue is that when I send an email and I start typing in the To field, I'm offered all possible contacts, even the ones I explicitly filtered out and which are not appearing in People application...
Is this the expected behaviour? I hope no Is there something I can do to avoid that?
Any chance it could be a left over for a first sync? If yes, how can I clean it for good?
Thanks a lot for any help on this,
If you're talking about the Gmail app... it works the same way it does online, so you'll get all the contacts. I don't think you can change this.
I was talking about email and sms apps.
For Gmail, I'm clear it works as you say (even if the proposed contacts are not sorted in the same way on Android than in the browser, and it is a bit less convenient).

[Q] No GMail Notification on Sense 4.0 lockscreen?

I wonder why there is no GMail Notification on the Productivity Lockscreen? Why is there only a notification for the plain Mail Client, but not for GMail?
Am I just blind and can't find the option to activate it, or is it faulty, that means you other guys have GMail notification?
I appreciate any feedback
Probably deliberately missing as HTC use their own Email client
Blame Google, not HTC. Its been ages now but Google changed the Gmail app to improve security and one of the changes is that other apps are no longer able to query to the number of messages unread in Gmail.

I thought that was fixed as of Gmail 2.3.6, I believe.
Others apps are able to use that call function (SMS Unread, MissedIt!, etc)
Has anyone had any luck with this? I would love to have my Gtalk and Gmail notifications on the lock screen when I have new messages...

Only workaround I can think of, off the top of my head would be to install a Lockscreen replacement (WidgetLocker for example) and use an app such as SMS Unread Count OR Missed It! to get those quick counts in there.
I don't know of any app that can give you a quick preview of your unread emails (subject, etc) that's not to say that it doesn't exist; I'm just not aware of one.
can't you just add google mail as one of the accounts within the native app? open the native app and go to menu/new account. you can choose a mail provider, including gmail. don't know if it will run two accounts at once. haven't tried it, and am not using gmail as my main account. so take what i suggest with a grain of salt. good luck.

[Q] Can't open Google Inbox attachments

I recently got the Fire Phone and installed Google Play and all my apps from there. Everything went surprisingly well, the only issue I see is the inability to view attachments through Google Inbox. The Gmail app displays them without an issue, but Inbox does not nor can I see the thumbnails of pictures in the inbox view. Is anyone else having this issue? What version of Inbox are you using if you're not seeing this problem? I'm running 4.6.1 with Google Now launcher. Thanks for the help.
I too would like an answer to this. Unfortunately though Inbox is not available for schools which would let me see my school gmail. I do like fire phones email app with integrated inbox which allows me to view multiple accounts in one inbox.
Notification don't seem to work either
I see there weren't many replies... After a few more days of using it, I realized the notifications are not working either. Even though I have notifications enabled on both Inbox and Gmail, I never get notifications (I should say almost never, I saw them a couple of times). The only way I get notified for emails is if I enable the local Email app which I don't really want to use.
My question is, has anybody gotten Inbox and/or Gmail to work reliably with notifications? If you did, did the attachments show up in Inbox? I just want to know if it's worth spending more time trying to get this to work.
