just purchased a moto x pure edition. love this phone.
one problem, though--i have shut off sync in gmail.
i have shut off sync in accounts.
nothing i have found in the forums stops the issue of mail syncing regardless of what i do.
i have deleted my google account and then restarted it.
when i deleted it, it said that all info--including emails--would be wiped.
gmail persisted. all messages stayed--and continued to sync older messages with each one i delete.
i am trying to clear my inbox of all but a day or two of messages.
it is, right now, impossible.
any advice? this is really frustrating...

Welcome to Android Central! Are you talking about the Gmail app, or the stock Email app (assuming that Gmail isn't the default/stock email app on that phone)?
