I have original HTC hero Rom 1.5 Android, waiting for 2.1. My issue is, the email application doesn't check my emails as per schedule and I don't get notified of nothing although notification sound is on, send and recieve polling check is every 2 hours. I can send emails fine I cannot recieve most of the time. My hotmail account doesn't work at all, I got all the settings from hotmail website.
In k9mail, I get old messages as new every single day so I uninstalled it.
Thx.....
Check you dont have a task killer that is killing the mail app so its not checking like it should.
Failing that get your current email (hotmail, yahoo mail, whatever it is) to forward emails to a gmail account, that way you get push emails.
So here is my query, I have searched but did not find anything that remotely assisted me with my particular problem.
I have multiple e-mail accounts set up on my phone. 2 Gmail accounts, 2 yahoo accounts, and a pop3 email account for my website. It is also likely that I will have to set up my work e-mail on the phone too here in the not too distant future.
I currently get 1 email in any of the email boxes and I am constantly barraged with constant email alerts notifying me of new mail every 5 minutes it seems. Is there any way to change them to all only notify me of new mail and not just alert until I actually read the unread mail? It's not always possible for me to get right to it and to have those notifications continually coming in is a little annoying.. Is there a way to stop the multiple notifications and stick to alerting only on new messages for all accounts?
I should say I'm a recent convert from the iPhone 4 to the HTC EVO 3D and love every aspect about it except for this.
Thanks in advance from an HTC EVO 3D & Android Noob!
I'm not quite clear on your problem. Are you receiving multiple notifications because your using multiple email applications? Or are all your email accounts set up through the stock sense email app which provides separate notifications for each different account?
I have 5 email accounts. 4 are set up through gmail and the third is a pop3 account which I have forwarded to a gmail account.
I have my accounts set up through gmail and exchange activesync. I use the gmail app and the sense app because of its unified mailbox. I have the notifications disabled for each account on the sense app and just rely on gmail to notify me.
Another thing you can do is turn off the notification for the gmail app and customize the notifications for the sense app, since you can set peak and off peak hours. So for your less busy or less important accounts you can pull every 2 hours but for your important accounts you can set to push (if your set up through exchange.)
I don't know if this is any help. If you clarify a little I might be able to provide a more clear response.

Yes, I am using the built in sense email app for multiple mail accounts. I'm beginning to think that each time it reaches out and it sees an unread message on the server whether or not it has notified me of that single unread message. I'm not a fan of linking all of my accounts to one Gmail account on here as they all serve a separate purpose and I can prioritize them as needed by looking at the status bar notification.
I don't think I've touched the native Gmail app at all since I've had this thing. I have 3 accounts that are set up to reach out to get new mails at 5 minute intervals (1 Gmail, 1 yahoo & 1 pop3) and the rest I have moved to 30 minute intervals as they are not as time sensitive.
I just checked the native Gmail app and the notifications are set to off. I guess this is just something new to me since leaving AT&T and getting rid of my iPhone. I was hoping there was some kind of notify tweak that I was missing that would only prompt it to notify of new mails period. I can't always grab my phone to check mails immediately so that's how I noticed it..
I'm so green to this, I've only had my EVO3D for a week now.. I think I got too used to the iPhone but decided to lose AT&T and move back to Sprint. Any help or other ideas would be greatly appreciative.
And many thanks to you parousia15 for your assistance in this matter thus far...
In the Notification settings is there not an option similar to "Notify me Once"? I use this option in Gmail and also in Handcent SMS for notifications. I don't use the stock mail app so not sure it is there or not.
Vdubtx,
I checked that under the native mail notification settings and there is not one that I can find. I did just start with handscent so I"m trying to learn more about it as time goes on.. So far I love my phone.. I don't think I'll be changing any time soon...
I've tried to replicate your situation, unfortunately, when I get a new email through the native sense app, it beeps once and only once. It doesn't renotify me after any amount of time. I don't know what else to recommend. Sorry.

thanks for trying! I guess I'll have to try and see what I can figure out myself then..
I did recently find some complaints over on Android Central that were exactly the problem I'm having. These were from a year ago with the EVO 4G but no one had any constructive help there. UGH... My hunt shall continue tomorrow I guess..
I have yet to find a fix for this issue. I've come to the realization that the stock email app sucks with notifications. I just want a single notification of new emails not a notification every time it checks that I haven't read the previous email. Starting to miss my iPhone for this function!
Download the actual gmail and yahoo mail app for real time notification of new mail rather than unread mail. You can use the stock mail app for you pop3 account. That worked best for me.
As a mail server admin I have seen issues with POP3 clients (mobile and computer) where the client will not properly keep track of what is new.
Even more frustrating is that the server can cause this as well.
First thing is to methodically figure out if it is a certain type of email account. If it is the POP account then try connecting through IMAP instead.
The only real way to know is to sift through the server/device connection logs.
Worst case, to be less enjoying, you could turn off just the vibrate and sound part of the notifications and keep the icon.

I'm having the same issue. I ended up muting the notification and just having the icon display the new e-mails. Though it would be nice to have it ring only once because I would like to actually be notified without the repeat every 5 minutes.
This is happening on my EVO 3D and also on my dad's Thunderbolt. Both using the default Sense mail client.
I actually did a little testing and it is in fact repeating only when it checks for mail. If the client checks for new e-mails every 10 minutes, it will notify you every 10 minutes. This most likely means that it's not actually a reminder alert but an alert that new mail is present like someone else said could be possible in this thread.
That being the case, there wouldn't be an option to change that in the settings unless something gets updated. What needs to happen is that the client must recognize the e-mail has already been downloaded previously so it doesn't notify again and again that there is a "new" e-mail.
My Gmail email currently notifies me as soon as I receive an email, which is very annoying because sometimes I'll check it and put my phone down and then immediately get another email. I don't want to disable notifications completely, I just want to set it to only refresh every 30-60 minutes or so. I've seen this option in the default Mail app but can't find it in Gmail. Is there any way to do this?
If you are using the gmail app on ur phone, it is set to "push" notifications. that means it gives u email right when it receives with a 5-10 sec delay. There is no way to do a "poll" notification, which is the kind of thing you want. tbh push is better because there is no battery drain while poll has to go on the gmail servers every 30 mins or however you set it to. but if u really want it then just use ur email app.

The closest I'd say you can get with the actual Gmail app itself is to check the "notify once" option in account settings. I know that's not quite what you're talking about, though.
Dataslycer is right. Since Gmail is natively push, you're going to get immediate notification of a message. The only way to do exactly what you're talking about is to enable imap in your Gmail account settings on the web, then add your Gmail account as an imap account in the phone's mail app. You can tweak as you like there. But, as Dataslycer said, imap polling will really take a chunk out of your battery life.

How much battery would polling use? I have my business email set up in the Mail app and it's set to refresh every 30 minutes. The only thing I don't like about Gmail pushing the messages immediately is I can't stand my phone going off so often and the notification LED always blinking and I haven't found a way to disable the LED for Gmail only without disabling notifications for Gmail altogether.

If you're using a separate imap for your work email, then adding gmail as another imap wouldn't be a problem in terms of battery life. Half-hour increments for polling also is fine in terms of battery life. However, if you added gmail as an imap to the native mail app like you have done for your work email, you would lose certain functionality like archiving. I had mentioned the "notify once" option in the gmail app. Check that. What it does is this: it will notify you once of a new message in your gmail (as you choose- sound, vibrate, etc.), but it will not notify you of any other new emails until you check your messages. Maybe this would be a compromise that would work for you? In terms of the LED flash notification, I'm not sure if unchecking "email" in Android settings> display> flash notifications would disable the LED for gmail. Of course it would disable the LED for new work emails in the native mail app. If that's not a problem, check it out. I'd be interested to know the result.

I haven't got any notification from incoming messages through my email account set up in Stock Email client of Galaxy S3. I've set it to check in a frequency of 5 mins for both peak time and off-peak time. It's ironic that this email client just sync mails from server but don't notify me anything even though I've used block mode or any third-party apps that can infuse email notifications.
Each time after opening the email client, new mails were always in there but I couldn't know how to get notifications of them unless opening this app by hand.
Did anyone get this issue and know how to deal with it? Personally I'm really dedicated to this email client of Samsung with ability to customize font, signature... and modern interface compared to K-9 or Mail Droid (free version with annoying ads).
Appreciate your help.
My friend has just got a new S3 and uses the Yahoo Mail app. I've sent him various emails relating to work he needs to do, and he claims he hasn't received them. This has been in the past week. So my question. Does the app support push notifications, and do they work? Would he have got some notification of new emails and is just saying he hasn't had anything. Does he need to manually refresh his inbox? Or is it likely none of my emails have gone through to him?
No I don't believe the Yahoo Mail app does support push I think it defaults at a 15 minute refresh though.
