LG Stock Email Experience

Apologize for the repost (Verizon sub forum), but I meant to post this in the main forum...

Does anyone know if there is a way to make the stock email app refresh appropriately? To explain, if I have my Exchange or Gmail accounts synced with the phone, and I get 5 emails, I get a notification and in the pull down area, I see the short previews for the 5 emails. Say I read them on a different client and just swipe away the notification. An hour later, I get 5 more emails, and in the notification area, instead of showing 5 emails, it shows 10, even though if I click into it, it refreshes appropriately to show the 5 new emails.

This is a bit annoying to me, as I rarely read emails on my phone during the day, as I mostly read them on my laptop. By the end of the day, I'm getting notifications that say I have 100 new emails, when I really only have 1 or 2.

You might try an alternative email client. Here is one I read about that sounded interesting:

MailDroid: A more versatile, user-friendly Android email client - TechRepublic

The link is to an article but the app is available in the Play Store, I just checked. Why I thought it might be suitable for you is that it has Rules capability, including time based rules and time based notification rules. You can probably set a rule for working hours that marks emails from work as read and not notify you of them. And, perhaps at night you can set a rule to only notify you of certain emails and mark others as read or not notify.

While this may take a bit of work to set up just the way you want, it looks to be very powerful. I haven't tried the app. But one warning: the Pro version is like $18; but if you're like a sysadmin or similar, something like this, if it does what it looks like it does, would be very worth it.

The non-Pro version is ad-based but no new functionality is gained by going Pro, so it's safe to try -- at worst you lose a few hours, at best it is what you are looking for. Good luck.

My GS3 does the same thing so not sure its just a G2 thing. I think its because you are not actually opening the email app by looking at them in the notification window so the app feels as though you still have those new emails.

On my Galaxy Nexus, the stock email app did not perform this way, which is why I thought there might be something I was missing. I might look into getting that back on the G2. The one thing that I disliked about the stock app was the inability to change the notification icon for different accounts.
