Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped

[AC Question]

I removed an exchange account from my nexus 5 (running Android 6.0.1) since it has expired. As soon as I removed the exchange account, I started getting the 'Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped' error and I am not able to open my gmail or any other exchange accounts associated with it.

I tried to uninstall gmail app, but the only option is to deactivate and then uninstall. And I was not able to deactivate gmail from play store.

Kindly help! How can this be solved?

Have you tried a Cache Partition wipe?

Wipe app data then wipe system cache via recovery like mentioned above.

Tried clearing cache and data! Doesnt work. Can I uninstall gmail somehow?

Clear cache and data in the app. Force close. Reboot phone.

Also, have you updated the Gmail app in the pLay store?

Tried the ol' Force Stop, Clears Data/Cache too. Didn't fix it. Nor did uninstalling and reinstalling GMail.

I started getting the same thing a few days ago. I think another app on my phone may have updated and gone rogue, bringing down gmail. Here's why ...

After gmail starting giving me these messages I re-imaged my phone using a nightly cyangenmod build. While I was re-imaging I also installed GApps. The phone came up and Gmail worked fine. It wasn't until the cloud restore of all my apps started happening that Gmail once again started crashing. That's all on a tmo Galaxy S4 SGH-M919.

I also have an S3 SGH-T999L which I just, minutes ago, did a factory reset on back to the tmo supplied ROM. Same story. As soon as my other apps restore Gmail crashes with the same message. So now comes the arduous task of figuring out which is the naughty app. I mean I only have 72 apps on my phone.
