Email setup on LOS? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

OK. So because gmail is not part of the basic mindTheGapps package used on Lineage I am trying to configure the lineage email app to get gmail. I have searched the web for hours and can't seem to find a combination that works incoming and outgoing. Does anyone have a clue what the working settings are?
I am using the LOS16 build.
Yes I know I can download the gmail app. Just trying something new.
Thanks.

Can't use voice to reply to SMS or email?

Hi all,
So far everything has been working smoothly but I've run into one issue with the 360 that I can't figure out. When I try to reply to an SMS it seems to do nothing vs. asking for a voice response, and for email, it just opens the app on the phone with a reply message waiting to be typed in.
I had thought that you could use voice to respond? I'm using a Nexus 4 with CM11 M11, and Google Now API 1.4 through Xposed.
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks,
Ben

I had the same issue when I first got mine. I found that replys are currently only supported using Hangouts for SMS and the actual Gmail app for email. The stock SMS/email apps only support viewing. Once I switched them over everything worked perfectly.

Well that's lame. It's just like how Google leaves out an easy way to get unread counts for non-Gmail accounts in the beginning. Hopefully they adjust this.

There are several third party apps able to do it, like 8sms.

Thanks, I'll have to look into that. I've also found WearMail which seems to handle emails better, but given the low review count and the fact that it's a closed source app which asks for login credentials, I'm going to hold off on it for a while.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 12 Stock App Issue

Hello everyone,
Relatively new Android user here. I've been running Cyanogenmod 12 Nightlies on my Sprint HTC One m8, and for some reason, I cannot seem to get the messaging or email apps to work properly.
When I set CM Messenger as my default texting app, I can receive messages just fine, but when I go to send, it's as if the sending button is disabled. From what I can tell, setting Messenger as the default texting app should enable the send button, but that's simply not the case for me. The only info I've been able to find online said that Voice + caused this problem, but I think that was specific to CM 11. I don't recognize any apps on my phone that would be the Android L equivalent of Voice +.
As for Email, whenever I try to connect my gmail account, I get a message saying that verification couldn't be completed because the password is wrong. After this, the app closes automatically, and upon reopening it, the app seems to be hung up on syncing but never actually does anything. I've tried linking my account both automatically and manually — both methods yield the same result.
The odd thing is that 3rd party messaging and email apps work just fine. I've been using them as a workaround, but I'd really like to use the stock apps if possible! And aside from that, I'm totally stumped and would really like to figure out what is causing this issue. Any insight you could provide would be very much appreciated!

Update: I got the email app to work — I had the sync parameter set to never because I like to manually retrieve my mail, but it seems like that completely stops the app from syncing at all. It's still a little buggy, but at least it's working. Still no fix yet for SMS app.....

You can try bringing this up in the CM12 thread or download a 3rd party sms app

Hello,
Thanks for your reply! I have been using a third party sms app for the time being, but I'd still really like to figure out what's causing this issue. Call me a glutton for punishment I've searched a lot on XDA for a specific cyanogenmod Q&A, but I'm new here, and I'm finding the search interface a bit confusing. Could you post a link to the specific thread you're referring to?

Google Contacts app causing signal drop - Lineage OS in Oneplus2

I have been facing this issue for quite some time. With Google Contacts app, Signals keep dropping randomly and it is really very annoying to see this that while dialing a number, it suddenly says No Network available. I read it somewhere that Google Contacts has been causing some issues, so I disabled Google Contacts app, and now things are very much fine for me. Is it something wrong with Lineage OS or with Google Contacts app? I can live with Google Contacts disabled, but everytime when I have to add a contact, I have to enable the app, add contact and disable the app again. Has anyone else came across the same issue??
Sohail.
I have disabled contacts app, but still the network issue persists.

Support/Issues should be posted on the following Official LineageOS thread for your device:

I don't think it is google contact's problem. I always see the network column in status bar go grey (but not completely blank) and I still managed to call or use internet.

No alert from Gmail when receiving new email

My gf's verizon s8+ does not ping her when she receives a new email in gmail app. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix this problem?
Thanks!

There are a lot of reported issues with this. A lot of reported fixes too. If you search the S8 forums you can find some info. However, I have never been able to get the issue fixed long term. I have been able to get it to work for a while by reinstalling gmail, wiping data, etc, but this gets to be a pain. I am using Aquamail. I tried Bluemail and it was fine, but I like Aqua better. There are probably other good ones. I always get notifications now. Not the best answer, but it works.
Edit - I also tried all of the battery tricks like having a bunch of google apps not optimized and that didn't help.

Problem with K-9 Mail OxygenOS 5.0.3

Greetings,
I have just installed OOS 5.0.3 and I am unable to use K-9 Mail. Initially, I can open the app but if I try to import account settings or after adding an account it force closes. I didn't have this problem with Open Beta, is anyone else using K-9 Mail with 5.0.3 and having troubles?
Edit: would anyone else who is running 5.0.3 please try installing K-9, setting it up and letting me know if it works on their phone? This way I would know if it is just my phone that's not working on.
Edit: I installed OB 37 and had no problem until I removed Chrome. K-9 would not open. I reinstalled Chrome and it started working again. Strange.

Get a log and that will tell you what is going on. This way you can send the log to either 1+ or the k-9 dev. Depending on the issues. Might even be both.

Thanks @zelendel, I sent feedback to the K-9 dev with that automated massage that appears when an app force closes. I have no clue how to go about reading a log. I was just hoping someone else could confirm that the app is working or not with 5.0.3 first. That way I would know if it it just on my phone and I could clean install or something.

For something like that I would have posted on the one plus forums as there is where you are most likely to find people using the OEM software. Not many people here use the stock software.
