I am incredibly upset that I keep getting a permanent notification about missing permissions to schedule alarms. If I don't want the app to do that, then I don't want to give it permission. Given the open-source nature of the program, it is very frustrating that this happens. The desktop version is wonderful on Linux, but fairly limited on mobile for some reason. At least don't bug users for permissions they do not want to give the app. It isn't a feature I use.

We're sorry for any frustration with the permissions, and our system works this way as an additional layer of privacy protection on Android, bypassing many Google services. To avoid this, using polling which pulls email at a regular interval would probably the best option. We hope this helps explain our development choices!

Used to love this app but it now loads my old emails first. I have thousands of emails going back to 2012 that I leave in the inbox (don't ask!). Now there's literally no way for me to see new ones because I'm only loading 100 emails at a time so I can't see anything but 2012 emails, tried changing sort order, clearing cache, reinstalling & went through all settings. Help pages are mostly questions with no answers. I can't use it like this so I guess I very sadly have to find a new email client.

One of our community members with a very large inbox tried to recreate your issue this week and wasn't able to. We think it may be an IMAP issue, and it would help to know your provider to see if there are any known issues! We still encourage you to open a question at Settings > Get Help, but you can also share that info here and we'll try our best

Fantastic! Moved over once I found K9 became Mozilla's. They didn't yet rename it at that point & then split it off. Its been fantastic the entire time. Does all I need & works great for me. Obviously, using gmail app directly for gmail offers things it does not, but am not concerned about any of those things. They're also still working on it. While I understand why some people rate it low, even though I don't have issues, its still improving. Some people need that.
