Googelmail - Emails you Have to open ???

[4T5]

What's the deal with some of these emails I am getting in my Gmail account ? Usually I can just touch the tab on the side & delete any emails I don't want to open/read, Recently I've been getting a few where you cannot just delete them you have to open them to delete them ?

What gives folks of GD ?

On my mobile an S3, Only started a week or two ago & it's just the odd email but it ***** me off I can't just delete it without opening it like all the rest.
Must be some new way Google are advertising & forcing users to open the emails they want.

I'll assume this is in the android gmail app, as I have a similar issue, kind of

I do the same as you, tap the initials of the sender on the left hand side to 'check' the emails and delete multiple at the same time. When doing this, some of them don't check, they open instead

As said, I assumed this was just me clicking the email instead of the box accidentally, may be the same issue though

Sort of the same but Yes I tick the coloured boxes on the left & tehn the delete button & Yes sometimes it does open an email instead of just checking the coloured box.
The difference with these emails is you cannot tick the box, All you can do is open the email & delete from there


@DerekW - How would I check this as I haven't ticked any email addys or done anything differently.

I'm aware of those options & it's neither of those. I'm thinking it's a new way Google are sending out Advert/Spam emails that don't have the option to delete without opening them.
Need somebody else to understand & have the same problem really or it's just me being Mentals.

Sounds close Soundood but I can Open, View & Delete the emails I just want to be able to delete them without opening them.
One thing I do have my Yahoomail & Hotmail forwarded to my Gmail account so I wonder if the emails are coming from one of the accounts that are forwarded therefore glitching the IMAP issue you mention.
Food for thought, Cheers.

It's not about just deleting it's being able to tick the coloured box & delete rather than having to Open it to delete it.

I can delete these emails if I open them on my moby no problem at all. The issue is not being able to just Tick the coloured box on the left & deleting it WITHOUT opening it like all the other emails I get.


Not shouting at you Sliver I am just trying to clarify for others.

Can we just stick to the issue at hand & these Rogue emails.

To Clarify again -

I can delete emails from my moby by ticking the coloured box & hitting delete.

The Rogue emails cannot be deleted this way but have to be opened to delete them.

I thought it was a simple explanation to get a simple answer but then what was I thinking thinking it was going to be just a plain & simple thread with Solutions or Help.
