none relevant or helpful to the real problem: disappearance from the server (including Trash and Spam mailboxes, of course) that is set on my account to send all messages without spam filtering. On most Android devices, users can simply pull out an app by long-pressing and swiping it to an X icon above the screen. To thoroughly search emails that aren't in your inbox: Open the Gmail app.
#Why do emails disappear from my android for android#
Heidi's answers refer to smartphones, caches, cookies, app troubleshooting, etc. Why do apps randomly disappear As for Android users, the commonest reason is that you (or someone else) removed the app icon from your home screen manually. Emails might skip your inbox if they were accidentally archived, deleted, or marked as spam. AT&T email tech support was clueless and promised to have an escalation specialist call me back - they never did so (of course do they ever?). All are using IMAP, and the only feature they have in common is they connect to the AT&T/Yahoo server as a email address is the issue, so the problem must lie there. Nor are missing emails related to the email client in use since mine disappear simultaneously from the K-9 client on my smartphone and tablet and also from my desktop client, Thunderbird. Nor are disappearing mails necessarily related to using a smartphone - it can/does happen looking a the same inbox on a tablet and on a desktop. You can set a timer to have everyones messages disappear from an end-to-end encrypted chat at a time you choose after theyve been seen. Caches and cookies related to visiting websites have nothing to do with emails disappearing from the Inbox (or other folders).
