new galaxy note 8

Hi, this may seem like a stupid question but I'm new so here goes : how do I stop both mail programs (I guess the default and the Gmail) from downloading my mail and getting 2 sets of mail notifications. Would just like the default mail.

Any help appreciated. :)

Can you use stock email for Gmail? I was under the impression you couldn't. If so, is the stock a better option? I've never used it.
 
Welcome to our AndroidForums, Warwick69, and thanks guys for your responses above :thumbup: :).

Warwick69, do you have a Note 3 or a Note 8? Your post indicates both and we'd like to make sure you're in the right area for your device.

Cheers and let us know!

:)
 
Sorry guys - it's a note 8! And thanks for the response so far.
I'm new to the Android world , having had a iPhone for years. Thought I'd try the Samsung tablet and see how it went - maybe upgrade my phone to the Samsung instead of the new iPhone ?..

Anyway re the email - I only use Gmail but must have set up 2 accounts by mistake now I'm getting double of everything - incoming mail notification etc.

Still not sure how to correct it.
:confused:
 
Hi Warwick and welcome to Android Forums!

We do have a specific forum for the Galaxy Note 8, where other users can help you master your device. Get comfortable here: learn things, help others, make friends and have fun! Always feel free to ask any questions you may have.

It's great to have you here :)


EDIT: Anyway, go to Settings --> Accounts and make sure you have only ONE gmail account set up for each address. If you have two, delete the last one. That SHOULD fix it: unless you have an app or widget that is also checking your mail.
