Gmail not working on mail app

Frustrating! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some steps to help you resolve the problem:

Check Gmail settings

  1. Ensure that your Gmail account is set up correctly on your device. Go to Settings > Accounts > Google > Gmail and make sure your account is listed.
  2. Check that your Gmail account is not suspended or disabled. You can do this by logging into your Gmail account on a web browser.
  3. Verify that your Gmail account is not experiencing any issues on the Gmail website. If you can't access your Gmail account on the web, it might be a server-side issue.

Mail app settings

  1. Check the Mail app settings:
    • Go to Settings > Accounts > Google > Gmail.
    • Ensure that the account is set up correctly, including the username, password, and server settings.
    • Make sure that the "Use SSL" or "Use TLS" option is enabled.
  2. Try resetting the Mail app settings:
    • Go to Settings > Accounts > Google > Gmail > Reset.
    • This will reset the Mail app settings to their default values.

Common issues and solutions

  1. Authentication issues: If you're experiencing authentication issues, try resetting your Gmail password and then re-entering it in the Mail app.
  2. Server issues: If you're experiencing server issues, try restarting your device or checking the Gmail server status.
  3. Cache and data issues: Try clearing the Mail app's cache and data:
    • Go to Settings > Apps > Mail > Storage > Clear cache and Clear data.
    • Then, restart the Mail app.
  4. Account sync issues: If you're experiencing sync issues, try restarting your device or checking the account sync settings:
    • Go to Settings > Accounts > Google > Gmail > Sync now.

Additional troubleshooting steps

  1. Check for updates: Ensure that your Mail app and operating system are up to date.
  2. Try a different account: If you have multiple Gmail accounts, try setting up a different account to see if the issue persists.
  3. Contact your email provider: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, contact your email provider's support team for further assistance.
