Notification for syncing emails... won't go away

[userMOAKxrr37h]

Starting either late last night or this morning there is an e-mail icon in the left corner and notification of "syncing emails...."  and notification says "1 active in background>.  When I click on that it says check background activity and notes email is running.  I think this was caused by some update in the past few days but not sure how to go back to prior.  Not sure if this is using battery to keep trying to sync.

I've cleared the cache, closed the program, etc but nothing seems to fix this.

Any pros know if there is a fix in the works?  Thanks.

I force stopped the app to make it go away. Was draining my battery

Same for most update this, and I can see the app now stuck in the back ground

I have a temporary solution 

Go to mobile settings then search "Device Admin App"

Turn off samsung Email app 

After that you can now stop apps in active app from background

I've been experiencing the same issues as you, after I manually updated the Samsung E-mail app via the Samsung Store.

If you go into settings for the Samsung E-mail app, scroll to the bottom and disallow the program from changing system settings. After doing this, then force-stop the e-mail app itself.

These steps, at least for me, have put a stop to the app running constantly in the background. Now, Samsung needs to patch this bug.

Hope this helps.

Same issue here. I keep clearing it and stopping it from running in the background but it's constantly popping up

Same issue here, native Samsung Mail app in Work Profile container. ZFlip5, MDM managed, app is in Work Profile so it cannot be uninstalled and reinstalled.
