Troubleshooting Common Issues with Gexonic E-Mail NotifierGexonic E-Mail Notifier is a lightweight utility designed to keep you informed about new messages across multiple email accounts. While it’s generally reliable, like any software it can encounter issues — connectivity hiccups, authentication failures, notification errors, or compatibility problems. This guide walks through common problems, step‑by‑step diagnostics, and practical fixes to get your notifier working smoothly again.

1. No Notifications Arriving

Symptoms:

  • No popups or sounds when new messages arrive.
  • The tray icon shows no unread count or isn’t updating.

Quick checks:

  • Ensure Gexonic is running in the background (check the system tray or task manager).
  • Confirm internet connectivity and that other network‑dependent apps work.
  • Verify polling intervals in the app settings — if set very high, notifications may be delayed.

Step‑by‑step fixes:

  1. Restart Gexonic: close it completely (right‑click tray icon → Exit) and reopen.
  2. Check account settings: open Gexonic’s account list and verify each account’s status; re‑test connection if available.
  3. Lower the polling interval temporarily (e.g., to 1–2 minutes) and save settings.
  4. Ensure notification permissions are granted in your OS (Windows Action Center, macOS Notifications).
  5. Disable any Do Not Disturb / Focus mode that may suppress notifications.
  6. Temporarily disable firewall/antivirus to see if they’re blocking Gexonic (re‑enable after test).

2. Authentication or Login Failures

Symptoms:

  • Repeated prompts for password or OAuth authorization.
  • Error messages like “authentication failed” or “invalid credentials.”

Causes:

  • Changed passwords, expired OAuth tokens, or multi‑factor authentication (MFA) requirements.
  • Account provider blocking less secure apps.
  • Incorrect server/port settings for IMAP/POP/SMTP.

Step‑by‑step fixes:

  1. Re-enter credentials: open account settings and update the password.
  2. For OAuth providers (Gmail, Outlook/Office 365): re-authorize Gexonic using the provider’s OAuth flow.
  3. If your account uses MFA, generate an app‑specific password (if supported) or complete the OAuth process.
  4. Check provider security settings: enable access for less secure apps only if recommended by provider (prefer OAuth when possible).
  5. Verify server addresses and port numbers (IMAP: usually 993 with SSL; POP3: 995 with SSL; SMTP: ⁄587).
  6. Review any account security alerts from your email provider—if they blocked the login, follow the provider’s steps to allow access.

3. Incorrect Unread Counts or Duplicate Notifications

Symptoms:

  • The unread count doesn’t match the email service.
  • Multiple notifications for the same message.

Causes:

  • Sync glitches between Gexonic and the mail server.
  • Multiple accounts configured pointing to the same mailbox.
  • IMAP folder subscription or cache issues.

Step‑by‑step fixes:

  1. Refresh or resync the account within Gexonic (if there is a resync option).
  2. Clear Gexonic’s cache or database (backup settings if needed) and restart the app.
  3. Check that you haven’t added the same account more than once with different protocols (IMAP and POP).
  4. Review IMAP folder subscriptions—unsubscribe/re‑subscribe to Inbox.
  5. Update Gexonic to the latest version (bug fixes often address sync problems).

4. Attachment Preview or Download Problems

Symptoms:

  • Attachments fail to download or preview correctly.
  • Errors when opening certain file types.

Causes:

  • File association issues on the OS.
  • Temporary download folder permissions.
  • Server blocking large attachments.

Step‑by‑step fixes:

  1. Test downloading attachments directly from the webmail interface to isolate Gexonic vs server issues.
  2. Check the download/temp folder path in Gexonic (if configurable) and ensure the app has write permissions.
  3. Verify OS file associations so the correct application opens specific file types.
  4. Increase attachment size limits on the mail server if you control it, or request smaller files.
  5. Update Gexonic — attachment handling bugs may be fixed in newer releases.

5. High CPU, Memory Usage, or Crashes

Symptoms:

  • Gexonic consumes excessive CPU or memory.
  • App freezes or crashes unexpectedly.

Causes:

  • A corrupted cache or extremely large message database.
  • Conflicts with other system software.
  • Known bugs in an older version.

Step‑by‑step fixes:

  1. Restart the computer to clear transient resource locks.
  2. Update Gexonic to the latest release.
  3. Clear the app cache or rebuild its message database (follow official instructions; back up settings first).
  4. Temporarily disable browser extensions, VPNs, or security software to test for conflicts.
  5. Check system event logs or crash reports for clues and submit them to support if needed.

6. Problems With Specific Providers (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo)

Provider-specific tips:

  • Gmail: Use OAuth where possible; enable IMAP in Gmail settings; check for “Less secure app” restrictions; create an app password if using legacy authentication.
  • Outlook/Office 365: Ensure Modern Authentication/OAuth is used; for organizational accounts, the admin may block third‑party access.
  • Yahoo: May require app passwords or toggling account security settings.

7. Mobile/Tablet Specific Issues

Symptoms:

  • Notifications not delivered on mobile devices.
  • Background syncing stops when the app is minimized.

Fixes:

  1. Allow background activity for Gexonic in OS settings (Android battery optimization exceptions; iOS Background App Refresh).
  2. Ensure push notifications are enabled and the app has notification permissions.
  3. Keep the app updated to maintain compatibility with mobile OS changes.

8. Logging, Diagnostics, and When to Contact Support

Collect useful diagnostics before contacting support:

  • Gexonic version number and operating system version.
  • A concise description of the problem and reproduction steps.
  • Relevant log files (check app settings for an export log option) and screenshots of error messages.
  • Note whether the issue affects all accounts or just one, and whether it occurs on multiple devices.

What to include in a support request:

  • Steps already tried, timestamps of failures, and any recent changes (passwords, OS updates).
  • If possible, enable verbose logging, reproduce the issue, then attach the log.

9. Preventive Tips

  • Keep Gexonic and your OS updated.
  • Use OAuth where supported instead of legacy password auth.
  • Limit polling frequency moderately to reduce server strain but keep it responsive.
  • Backup settings periodically and archive old messages to keep the local database lean.
