Try turning off that Gmail forwarding. It could be the source of all your issues. I've used proton mail since almost day one and I've never had a problem.
Is it only forwarded emails that keep reappearing, or all emails?
I don’t know how forwarding works (push/pull/fetch/stay awake and eat battery/etc) but I’ve used the mobile app on android and iOS and never had a battery issue, so I’d recommend checking the forwarding since that’s a difference between your setup and mine.
Try setting an autobot reply on your gmail telling people about your new address instead. Bonus - robots won’t read it so only the important stuff will get redirected lol
It's only the forwarded emails, or emails that were imported as part of the initial Gmail Sync (which pulled the last 3 months of emails in) that keep reappearing.
Good call on the auto-reply for my Gmail. I think that will be the best move if forwarding is the issue. It's a shame they offer the setting during the initial setup, but it clearly isn't super functional if it's causing these problems.
Huh, that’s frustrating. Have you tried asking proton support? They’re super top notch and really quick.
ETA: I do pay for my account, so I don’t know if there’s a priority. But if it isn’t super quick for a free account, it’ll at least be good lol
I haven't reached out to their support directly, but I'll go ahead and send them a note.
Good luck hope it gets sorted
I do not recognize these issues and have been using protonmail on Android for years, so maybe do a clear data and cache action and log in again?
