If it's downloading a lot of emails, that's normal. (If it's a new phone, it's going to be syncing for a long time if you get a lot of email.) But 32% drain in 5 hours, considering how hard GMail was running, isn't abnormal.
Once GMail settles down, check that Awake line after charging and letting the phone sit overnight. It should be almost all white. If you get a lot of blue when the phone wasn't being used, something is keeping the phone from sleeping, and that eats battery power.
Do you still have all of your messages sitting in your inbox? Or do you have them archived?
If you have thousands of messages unarchived, it's probably trying to index all of them.
Ummmm a lot ? I get around 40 a day through 1 email client and have around 3-4 on gmail and he others get around 20-30 which I delete. Never had an issue with the native email client

40 a day shouldn't do it. I am getting over 100 a day due to the forums. Something is causing the app to hold awake and that's why the drain is occurring.
Well that was for today ...I go between 40-150 at times

This is not needed. I have never done this for GmailYeah it also consume a bit battery because its a running app if you once opened or use it. So that make sure to totally close it on your application manager.
It's not so much the daily influx I was asking about.Ummmm a lot ? I get around 40 a day through 1 email client and have around 3-4 on gmail and he others get around 20-30 which I delete. Never had an issue with the native email client

I honestly like the Gmail app but if I still have these issues since deleting the update and re-installing I'll just disable and use the native Samsung appIt's not so much the daily influx I was asking about.
What do you do with emails once you have read them/dealt with them?
Specifically to Gmail, since that is the app you are having issues with...do you archive messages you are finished with, or do you simply leave them hanging around in the inbox?
If they are hanging around unarchived, I think your phone is trying to index them all.
I would second the suggestions to clear cache and reboot, see if that clears up the problem.
And if you have a lot of messages unarchived, you might want to consider dealing with that.
