Besides Gmail, I also am using Exchange Mail through my Comcast account.
This is what I have experienced and wonder if there is a solution.
After having loaded my mail and having read it on the GN, after some time of receiving new messages, the old messages that I have kept drop off the bottom. Then some time later, I get a new email notification and it is one of the previously read emails and it shows up as not having been read. Is anybody else experiencing this?
Also, I had a DroidX before and was able to select all messages from the settings to delete them without having to individually select each one to delete. Is this a feature that went away in ICS?
Thanks for your responses.
I just had a very frustrating incident where the Galaxy Nexus appears to have buggered up and it deleted emails I received with no undelete available.
Saturday night I sent my friend email #1, and he replied Monday (#2). I replied the same day (#3), and he replied again today (#4).
While I was writing my reply today (#5), on several occasions I had to put the phone to sleep and return later. Finally once I finished, I pressed Send. At this point I noticed something odd: two incomplete drafts of email #5 were still present in the thread. So I discarded those incomplete drafts. Then I noticed, alarmingly, that emails #2, 3, 4 had vanished. All that remains in my Gmail account is #1 and #5. Moreover, the quoted text section of my reply is blank, so my phone has deleted all records of two incoming emails and one outgoing, without my consent. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Is this with the gmail app or regular mail app?
I've never experienced that problem, but I also don't save drafts. Maybe the bug is how saved drafts are being handled?
I hope you sort it out
I've experienced this on the desktop Gmail so I don't think it's Galaxy Nexus isolated..
This was on the stock Gmail app. I never actually exited the app while writing email number five, but when you sleep the phone it saves a draft automatically. Still didn't explain why discarding extra drafts resulted in deleting emails that I never even wrote in the first place.

I was able to reproduce it again. But I think I have a strong suspect as to the cause. The same account syncs with Thunderbird on my desktop, which was on at home while I exchanged these emails at work. Thunderbird does strange things sometimes with drafts. My theory is that Thunderbird synced a draft while I was writing on my phone, and somehow, the unique ID numbers of the messages got tangled between the two clients, and it was Thunderbird that replaced the received messages with drafts.
This explanation is bolstered by the fact that I can't reproduce the bug on my phone after closing Thunderbird.

Okay I've ruled out Thunderbird as a contributing factor. I was able to reproduce this with Thunderbird completely closed.
It's a bug in the ICS Gmail app for sure. My workaround for now is, if I need to sleep it while writing an email, I enable Respond Inline. That doesn't stop the bug but it ensures that I won't lose the content of the message I'm replying to.

Anyone else having a problem with the new version of the Gmail app not sending message from their Dinc? I'm running Evervolv ICS a3. Any messages I compose and send on the phone never change from showing "Sending". I confirmed that the intended recipients aren't getting the messages.
Try removing the account and readding it, also ensure syncing is enabled for Gmail. Both of these have worked for me in the past.
For future reference, this type of post should go in the question and answer forum.
I have a customer that is having issues with her yahoo email. First, the problem she had was that everytime a new email came in. It would show some form of spam message in the notification bar but when you clicked on it it would go to the right email. I recommended remvoing the email account and re adding it to the phone. Now she's not having that problem but she's not getting any notifications and old emails that she had read are now showing up unread after refreshing the email account. any help will be greatly appreciated.
Is she using the default email app or the Y! Mail app from Yahoo? I haven't had the issues you described when using either one, but maybe she can try a different app than the one she's using now.
She's using the phone email app. I tried the Yahoo mail app but it wouldn't show old emails because it's a business's email.

Hmmm... not sure - I don't know why being a business email would have any issue with showing old emails on Yahoo. Only other thought I had was to try a different email client like K-9 or Mail Droid and see if you have better luck with that.
my one x keeps telling me it is unable to send emails from my hotmail account (using built in email app). used to work fine but recently they just sit in my outbox and wont send. or sometimes they resend 20 times and spam my contacts! any ideas? is this a known issue?
