Google's Email app isn't compatiable with CM 11

That's just a warning for people who rely on that app. That was a harsh surprise as I use that for Exchange email and calendar.

Mine seems to be working fine?

Really? Because when I try to find the app in the Play Store it isn't in the search results. So I had to Google it and find the Play link. When I clicked on that Play link, I got "This app is incompatible".

I'm talking about the stock mail app, not Gmail.

May I suggest you give this a try.

Ok I am using Gmail, just gone onto play store and I can see "inbox by Gmail" Google app and can download it if you mean that one?

I use cloudmagic for my work email and love it. They even have an app for my chromebook.

The stock native email app (non-gmail) that is found on the Nexus phones isn't compatible but the stock email app on the OnePlus One is essentially the same. I used it on my OPO and I don't think it was any different than the native email app I had on my Nexus 5. In fact, I was quite happy that the app was the same. I tried out a Sony Z3, and Sony messed up the native email app so much that I returned the phone as I rely on Outlook.com for my email (not Gmail so I don't use the Gmail app).

I no longer have the OPO nor my Nexus 5 so I can't do a full compare but I had no issues with the OPO native email app. Again, it looked exactly the same and you still had the full calendar, contact, email push sync through Exchange ActiveSync.

It works for me. I used it for my yahoo account until the recent gmail update when I merged my yahoo and gmail together. Now I use gmail for both. I also don't know what you mean when you say you had to download it, it comes stock on cm11s I believe

Miraculously, after adding my work account into "Corporate accounts" in Settings, the OS magically auto-installed and auto-configured the Google Mail app and I'm good to go!

I use the stock email app on my OPO daily for my exchange account at work.

Try "Nine" email app instead.
