[Q] Email apps force close - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, if this is the wrong place to post this, then feel free to move it.
I have an interesting problem with my device. All email apps force close when checking my email, meaning that I can see my inbox, however when I select the email, it force closes. This happens on the stock email app, Gmail app, and the Hotmail app. If I turn off the wifi before going into the email, it doesn't crash.
Does anyone have any ideas? If you need logs, how and what to attache?
Thanks!

Thanks! Do you have any ideas?

try unstalling and reinstalling. sometimes they get messed up. after that if it still i guess your next best bet would be a factory reset. do a backup first of course

---

Thanks for the reply.
I tried your suggestions, however it still doesn't work. I think it's missing something related to the wifi permissions, because it only happens when wifi is enabled. How can I verify this? How can I upload logs?
Thanks for the expected quick response.

Traced Source of force closes...
I think I traced the source of the force closes. The logs I've seen, crash after a java security exception, ACCESS. WIFI. STATE, so from what I understand, the apps crash because of missing wifi permissions. I do have android.hardware.wifi in the permission folder, however it's possible that it doesn't give permission to all uids s? Can someone look through the attached text and see if this is indeed the problem, and what's the solution?
Thanks.
