I've setup my gmail account on my desire HD. Sometimes it worked well, I can receive notification just when I received a mail, but sometimes it will be several minutes later, and for now, it didn't show up at all.
I've checked all settings, it's correct. And if I changed some settings at sync&Account options, it'll show push message several minutes later; but after a while, it won't work again.
I never faced these problems when I use Iphone. So could you give me some advice on this issue?
BTW, when I received a message from i.e. whatsapp messenger, the push mail notification will show up at the same time.
My GMail push works flawlessly. Instant notification as soon as I get something. No idea what's wrong with your account/settings though, sorry. The only thing you could mess up is turning synchronization off for the whole device or even only for your GMail account by accident, but you said you checked that...maybe double-check it again, that would be my only idea right now
Always remember you need data connection for gmail to work.

Thanks to all, maybe network problem.
I finally got my notification 30 minutes later. It's work status seemed not stable. And today I got my mail notification much sooner, I mean less than a minute.
Maybe it's network problem, I'm not sure because it's all OK when I used Iphone.

i get exactly the same problem...
i do notice that notifications work perfectly when i am on my wifi..however under cellular data (3G or H) sometimes the notifications can take their time..sometimes it comes immediately..and i know because i set up a notification widget at my work pc and that works flawlessly,
so what i end up doing is to set exchange for gmail!..
and that works perfect..well almost 99% of the time..
for this to work..you set up exchange put your username and no domain..
and server for gmail is m.google.com
set the update for push..and thats it..
now gmail on cellular network gets push correctly...
it sucks cuz i rather use the gmail client...but it will do for me...
so ..am guessing that if it works on wifi ..it might be an issue with the cellular network..i am with vodafone..
I'm with Optus and I get new mail notifications on my phone near instantly over 3G.

I noticed this too when I started using my phone
exchange server seems to be real push, gmail app takes a while to update for me but i like the gmail app more than the standard mail app, maybe theres a better one out there.
hello everybody, i just got my Epic 4G yesterday (love the phone!), but unfortunately im having an issue with it today. for some reason, my sync icon in the notification bar will not go away, and i have no idea what caused it. i went through all my accounts and disabled, then re-enabled the sync (even when its all disabled, the icon wont go away). now when i try to sync facebook, it gives me an error. ive attached two pictures, please take a look and help me if u can. thank you all in advance.

If you are getting a sync error with Facebook, it will keep trying. Do you have good 3G/4G in your area? Is Wifi available? Reboot your phone and connect to wifi if you can and the sync will go through. Make sure all accounts and passwords are correct. Worse comes to worse delete all accounts and add them back. This worked for my facebook. The first sync takes a long time.

i removed everything except google and the icons went away. when i try to log into the facebook account, it keeps saying "login failed, try again later." so im assuming that was the thing causing my problem. so i just wanted to thank you very much, and ill add that facebook account later and let you know what happened.
looks like Oovoo was the actual culprit

Ah ha! As for Facebook, there are 2 apps, one is stock in the phone system and then there is Facebook for Android in the market. I forget which one worked better, but one works when the other one fails.
I noticed that the Nexus misses LED notifications and won't go out to check for email unless I wake the phone and open the email app. Pretty annoying. Does it have anything to do with the sleep setting on the phone ?
For example: I work in an environment where I can't always pick up my phone, that's why I prefer the LED notifications. Someone called through the land line and asked if I recieved an important email, they also texted. I wake the phone and there was a text with no LED notification and no email. So I opened the email app and then 10 came through.It is set for 15 minute intervals and SYNCH on all accounts. WTF ?
Later I wake the phone, to find 2 voicemails and no LED notification. It is also set to vibrateand ring on calls and sometimes I believe it doesn't even ring, or vibrate.
Anyone else having this issue ?
I can't say I've had this problem but I'm pretty sure the notification led does not light up indefinitely. You would need a third party app like light flow.

I am having the exact same issue and it is really starting to annoy me (especially since I spent $900CDN to get this device). Anybody have any suggestions on a fix? I have to enter the email application in order to receive new emails. I have it set to check for emails every 10 minutes, it just doesn't.
There is another options for mail - you can setup different notification options for each label (folder) - by default you have there only for inbox. For gmail - there are also options for other labels too (and by default - there are no notifications specified).

I wonder why it worked for a few days and then quit.
Sync is fine here. And so is indicator. Used lightdlow for a bit but the repeated superuser requests made me uninstall

It might be because of your mails belongs to Inbox and Priority box or other labels and you might have notifications and synchronization only for some of them. Not really sure.

Do you have to have the sync feature enabled for it to work. I want to be able to delete emails from my handset only so sync is not important to me. I just can't seem to get my device to "grab" the emails unless I physically open the email app.

The phone will not poll for emails at your set interval (ten minutes) if sync is not on. The reason you get emails when you open the email app is because it auto-syncs when you open the email app.

Actually, mine worked at the beginning too, but for the last 2 days, nada. Just turned the "sync" feature on but it doesn't seem to have cured the problem.
I've found that my "sync" keeps turning itself off, somewhat randomly. Which would cause the problems mentioned in this thread. So just because you set it on doesn't mean it stays on.
I have a thread on it in the Q&A thread. A poorly visited thread =(

This does annoy, greatly.
EDIT:
Oops, realized this would affect google account related stuff (gmail, voice) but probably not email related notifications, since they are not 'syncing' an account, but just polling a server.
on that note, go to your Gmail account under accounts and make sure mail is set to sync

Ahh... found out my problem. User error.
On the power widget, I thought the rotating arrows was for auto-rotate.
They are not.
Apparently that's the universal sign for SYNC.
Or auto-rotate.

Precisely. That threw me for a loop several times when my brother has come to me asking why Gmail wouldn't sync. The problem is you can (intentionally or unintentionally) hit the "sync" button on the power widget, then delete the widget, and have noooo idea why you're not getting your mail .
Glad you figured it out.
Posting this in general, as I'm not asking a question. I'm stating my findings. Though, feel free to chime in with your experiences.
I'm quite frustrated with mail on my One X. It drives me so insane, I want to go back to my Gnex or iPhone because mail works flawlessly on those. I have read others claiming they don't have this issue, but that's bull. I have had the AT&T version and now the International version and this problem is very real.
I have two accounts set up as Exchange accounts: One is my work e-mail, the other is Gmail. I also have Gmail set up through the native app.
Mail will work fine for a while, then just stops coming in. Today, it was my work e-mail account. I went into Accounts and Sync and there was a "!" on Calendar. It seems like when it can't sync one component of the account, nothing else comes in. I could be wrong. Most certainly, mail stops coming into the Mail app from time-to-time. It's like it just goes to sleep.
It will then inexplicably start working for a while, then stop again. It drives me batty. The moral of the story is, I can't rely on my phone for e-mail at this point, which is kind of a fundamental function of a smartphone. It's even more frustrating when I see the mail come in on every other device and my One X just doesn't get it. If I open Mail, it comes in and sometimes it will work normally for a while after that, but then it stops again.
Really hoping HTC fixes this soon, because it's a serious issue. The only thing I haven't tried is using a 3rd party client, but I don't want to do that because then the mail conversations won't be threaded in my contact history. And honestly, I shouldn't have to.
Also, disclaimer, I am NOT set to Smart Sync on any of my accounts. They are all push.
I can confirm that I am having the same experience and its really pi##ing me off!
Occasionally I get a message stuck in the Outbox as well and then it just keeps on resending the mail. 27 times once!
It also really sucks the battery when it plays up like this.
Always seems to happen after low or no connectivity.

It happens to me with WiFi here at home. It's not just Mail but also other apps that need to sync like Weather. It's not because of the apps but because even though it shows my WiFi is connected, it is actually disconnected.
I went to another house with WiFi the other day. Perhaps they have different settings... Either way it never happened there. NEVER. I received e-mails right away on my Mail Exchange... Right away. My Weather never missed the update schedule.
Btw, have you enabled the security thing with Mail For Exchange? Something to do with the server. I have only enabled it yesterday.

Is it because of sync setting?
I have 2 work email account, one set as push and another set to auto sync every 4 hours, both works fine no matter i'm on 3G or wifi. Besides, my Gmail using the native gmail app also works fine. The moment i saw a notification on my desktop then immediately the phone will notify me.
This is a very real issue for me, i was just about to make a thread on it myself. I have 2 email accounts, a hotmail and a gmail, neither refuse to sync. I Cant see new or old messages, sent, deleted etc on either account. It did work at one point but then it stopped again for no apparent reason.
100% battery
doesnt work on network or wifi
everything else syncs fine, inc dropbox and weather.
using default mail client.
set to sync when i open app.
Er... Is it because it is set to sync only when you open the app?

There is definatly an issue on HTC's side.
My exchange mail isnt working well as well. Set it to push...the first few minutes/hours AFTER I turned off the screen pushing works more or less good.
Test mails arrives a few seconds/sometimes minutes after I sent them to my own mail account...but when the phone is idling for some more hours it wont sync the mails anymore...it starts syncing the mails again when I turn on the screen.
Really annoying imo. On gingerbread push mail was working fine..mails arrived seconds after you sent them to the maila ccount that syncs the mails on the device.
I think the issue is smartsync in the settings.apk.
It tries to handle the data connection of the device to give better battery life..but therefore breaks for example proper mail syncing.
On gingerbread you was able to deactivate that feature, it was called "constant mobile data" or similar..if you unckecked it, your mobile data went to sleep after a while when your turned off the screen....on ICS you cant control it yet...Hope htc will fix it for the next OTA.

Well if thats the issue then its poorly designed. I'm seriously considering exchanging for the S3.
Regardless of when it is set to sync, it should sync when i want it to. So if i have manual sync, then when i refresh it i should be able to see new email, correct?

Yeah, that's what it seemed like to me: That HTC was defaulting to smartsync, even when it was set to Push, because it'll start working fine for a while, then stop again. This is really my only issue with the phone currently and it's also one of the most critical. It needs to be addressed sooner, rather than later.
This has been happening to me too. It is not new though. It happened on my HTC Sensation. E-mail would gets stuck in the outbox and tells me it has failed when in fact it is sending it over and over and people end up with multiple e-mails from me. It is extremely frustrating. I also get the exclamation mark when trying a manual sync. It ONLY happens over WiFi and it is not all the time. It happens on different WiFi connections, not just mine and it can sometimes be fine for days. The annoying thing is, I do not know I am unable to receive e-mail until I try sending one and it fails. As soon as it fails I know the problem is back and I have to switch WiFi off.
Glad I am not the only one with this issue. I may end up trying a third party mail app if it isn't fixed.
Yes, this is very annoying.
Happened to me once too, and I had to remove my account and re-create it.
Fixed it - but that's just really a work around for a problem that shouldn't exist...

I've never had a problem with stock email, I mainly use IMAP but have occasionally set pop. I did however have to go to my email provider settings and tick allow IMAP.
I have used K9 before which seemed OK, not sure how frequently it'll check though

If I'm honest it sounds like somewhere you're entering the wrong settings
I use the stock mail app for my work emails from without issue.
Thing is these pop servers are really sensitive to the ports you try to use and what type of encryption you use etc, get one wrong and it will fail
Have you got another working email client on a pc or something that you can literally just copy the settings from, ports, encryption and all?

Does it give any errors when connecting?
Password definitely correct? Normally greyed out otherwise so I guess there's a slight slight chance that that's wrong? Can you reset it and try again, just to be sure? Unless of course the password you're trying works elsewhere like Web mail etc

Tried it about 10 times and works fine on my server and windows mail, really don't understand what it can be.
Hi just done this again and seems to be working, but one more question where do i change the sound for email alerts ?
goto normal settings (not email settings)>sound>notification sound
i could swear the old mail app used to let it have a separate sound of its own though.. weird.
