hey guys
im not sure whats wrong
im using stock 4.4 with some Xposed modules, nothing else.

my Gmail app is working really bad
at first i had 5 newmails, (sync off) went on with my day and came back home, 15 mails in GMAIL and 5 in app so i swyped down, it says "updating" and keeps displaying 5...
so i restart phone, nothing.
i wiped all data from the app and when it repulled it took all the new mails. i thought to myself, AWESOME! shows all 15 new mails.
i go to my browser on the PC, delete 9 out of the 15 mails, 6 are left. in app, there are still 15.

iim not sure why but it just doesnt update properly.. what should i do?

edit:
now after like 10 tries it did work but only after a LONG time (around 2 mins)
also for some reason when i delete a mail on my phone it DELETES it on my real box.. i thought it doesnt work that way.. or used to not?

Nice to hear that your problem solved. I hope it stays like this :)
As far as I know it has always been like that. Using your phone to delete an e-mail from your gmail-inbox has the same effect than using your computer.. which actually makes sense to me :) If you're afraid to accidentially delete an e-mail: No worries, there's a recycle bin which lets you restore deleted e-mails :)

Ah okay :D I use gmail as my primary and only e-mail account.. basically everything is linked with it :) I want to keep it clean :p On my Nexus 5 I'm using the Gmail app and on PC I use my browser (Firefox) since I really like the Googlemail user interface :)
