Well, in that case, you have a problem that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. If you recently encountered this issue, try some of the following solutions to make Gmail start delivering emails to your Android phone once again.
Solution 1 – Update the Gmail app
Gmail for Android is still just an app. And android apps are bug-prone. So, when you stop receiving emails through Gmail, the first precaution you need to take is check for app updates before proceeding with some more drastic measures.
If there’s a problem inside the app’s code, Google will surely address it sooner rather than later, so you should be covered. Just head over to the Play Store, and check for Gmail updates.
Solution 2 – Check the servers
Gmail uses Google’s servers to deliver new mail to your inbox. Obviously, if the servers are down, you won’t be getting any new emails. Now, this doesn’t happen quite often, and it’s unlikely servers will remain down for an extended period of time.
However, it won’t hurt if you check the server status, just to be sure. If the problem was indeed caused by a server outage, just wait some time until Google fixes it, and you’ll start receiving emails again.
Solution 3 – Clear the app’s data
Now, let’s move to the oldest trick in the book (well, as old as updating the app). Whenever you have a problem with any Android app, clearing the app cache or data is a potential solution.
So, why not give it a shot here, as well? Here’s how to clear Gmail’s cache and data in Android:
Go to Settings.
Head over to Apps or Apps Manager (depending on your phone). If you can’t find it, simply search for installed apps in the Settings search bar.
Locate Gmail in the Apps Manager (if you can’t find it, choose Show all apps or Show system services from additional settings).
4.Tap Gmail and choose Clear cache. If clearing the cache doesn’t resolve the syncing problem, repeat the procedure, but this time choose Clear data. Just keep in mind this will erase all your data, and you’ll have to set up the app from scratch.
Solution 4 – Enable automatic sync
As you can guess from the feature’s name, it allows you to automatically sync your mail across all your devices. Automatic sync should be enabled by default, but in case it isn’t, let’s check it out:
1.Open Gmail. 2.Tap the menu button in the upper left corner. 3.Go to Settings > account (your email address).
4.Make sure the Sync Gmail option is enabled.
Solution 5 – Check the filters
One of the possible reasons you’re not receiving emails is filters! If your filters are not properly set, they’ll automatically redirect your ‘good’ mail to the Spam folder or some other folder like All Mail. All in all, it doesn’t deliver emails to where it should, and that’s the Inbox folder.
So, you’ll probably want to check the filter settings, and remove all the filters that are blocking the email flow.
You can manage filters in the Android app, so you’ll have to do it in your computer’s browser. Here’s how to do it:
1.Go to gmail.com in your computer’s browser. 2.Go to Settings> Filters & blocked addresses. 3.Check if there’s a filter redirecting your mail. 4.If such a filter is created, delete it.
Keep in mind that deleting filters won’t automatically move existing mail to the Inbox folder, so you’ll have to do that manually. But for the incoming mail, you’re good.
I hope in this that your problem will be solved in this five solutions, and if your problem remains contact me immediately, in order to help you, Good Luck.
