Gmail app, mails reappear after deletion?

[mazielol]

So I just set up everything on my new S10+, but I have an issue with the Gmail app.

I have 3 mail accounts activated, 1 being google and 2 being hotmail. When i delete mails from hotmail accounts, they reappear a few seconds later.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Have you looked under accounts in settings and see if they are there and delete?

I think you have to select delete from server when deleted.

I dont understand?
its mails im trying to delete, not accounts.

I think you have to select delete from server when deleted.

According to guides I can find, this setting should be under ingoing settings, but there's no such option.

I tried installing the Blue Mail app insted of the Gmail app, and that seems to work, so it seems like this is a Gmail issue

When you sign into a email it creates a account on the phone .

I dont think youre understanding my problem...
I need to delete actual EMAILS, not email accounts. Ive tried deleting accounts and recreating them, but still have the same issue.

Oh ok understand now, have you tried signing out then back in to those accounts?

Are those accounts using POP3 or IMAP? Make sure you're using the IMAP server. If you're using POP3, I think there's a setting somewhere to keep the email on the server (which means when the email app syncs, the email might show up again).

yes, tried removing them and adding them again.

Both are IMAP.

Hmm -- do you have Restrict Background Data turned on anywhere? Wondering if the Gmail app is somehow being blocked from syncing that email deletion with the server.

Where would i find these settings?

Im wondering if it might help reinstalling the Gmail app itself?

Definitely worth a shot.

Go to Settings>Apps, select Gmail, then Data Usage. Make sure the Background Data toggle is turned on.
