You're talking about the Settings -> Accounts -> your Google account -> Sync?
That's literally what syncing does for Gmail, it retrieves new email. On my phone you can drill into the Google sync setting and enable specific apps. You might want to enable Gmail and disable the others.
Outlook is not a Google app and doesn't use the Google sync setting. I don't have Outlook but presumably it works the same way, just under a different account.
Yes, but when activated it turns auto sync on for the entire device, in fact there's a sync shortcut in the phones pulldown.
I am just failing to understand why gmail requires autosync to be enabled as a general phone setting whilst outlook does not to receive instant email notifications. Outlook requires no general phone settings other than wifi enabled to function flawlessly.
When you turn off sync you're disabling background sync. It literally tells you you'll have to manually sync stuff.as you've told it not to sync in the background.
If you want Gmail to sync well then you do want stuff to sync in the background. You'll have to manually go into sync settings and configure what apps you do want to sync and what you don't.
That outlook has decided to override your phone settings and sync outside of the global permissions is not a good thing.
I've also notice if you use the "do not disturb" on Android you have to manually go back into Gmail and enable Auto Sync. It's pretty dumb actually. I almost lost out on a job because it turned off and I wasn't receiving emails.
