Email notification showing too many emails. [answered]
asked 2014-01-22 17:24:56 +0200
Almost every time I get an email, it shows I got more than one new emails. Sometimes it just shows the one I received. Usually it just shows "2 new emails".
Recently I started to take a look at the folder list when ever I got an email. It shows unread mails in inbox and "all mail". I also use Gmail's filters quite a lot, to label my emails, so sometimes I get notifications for 3 or 4 new emails, even though it is just the same one email in all of these folders.
I understand it's good to get notifications for all folders but when it is the same email in every folder, I think it should only show one notification.
Oh, I have also received notifications for spam mail. These emails go straight into spam in Gmail, but for some reason I get notifications for these too, which of course is pretty annoying.
I had to do a factory reset to try & get my GPS working (it failed), but I didn't bother reinstalling the native email app as it lacks too much functionality (not least being able to delete emails in the app)
Outlook (android app) works fine for me

Can you describe the filter that is causing issues ? thanks!

And no, I have not navigated to spam folder and minimized the app and updated. Though I have navigated to the spam folder once. Does that mean it now syncs it always?

VDVsx ( 2014-01-24 11:43:59 +0200 )editCan you provide the full journalctl command to get just the email app's logs? Busy weekend ahead and don't have time to figure it out myself. :)
