I've installed the Samsung email app on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 and >configured two email accounts - both of which can send and receive
email, so the accounts are working OK.
I notice that the Email icon (and the associated text "Email") on the
home screen constantly moves slightly from side to side among the
rectangular grid that all the app icons are constrained to follow.
I wondered whether it was telling me that there was one or more unread >message, but I've selected all and marked them as read. And anyway, I'd >expect an app to signify new messages as a "badge" numeral on the app's >icon.I can;t see anything among the Settings options for the Email app
to figure how new messages are denoted on the icon.
The info for the app is V6.1.90.16, installed from Play Store.
Any suggestions what is causing it?
Unfortunately, Googling for "Samsung email app icon moving from side to
side" doesn't bring up any relevant matches; all it mentions is *all"
apps moving around the screen as new apps are installed (because they
are sorted alphabetically rather than allowed to be positioned manually).
The icon on the Apps page (ie list of all apps installed, irrespective
of whether/where the icon are position on one of the home screens) stays >static and does not vibrate from side to side.
I notice that the Email icon (and the associated text "Email") on the
home screen constantly moves slightly from side to side among the
rectangular grid that all the app icons are constrained to follow.
I use Gmail and the Gmail app did come already installed.
Suggestion if you can't fix it, get another
email app, there are sure lots more out there...

The main problem I see with the Google Gmail app is in my tests long ago,
it does two egregious things which I personally can not put up with.
1. It _creates_ a Google Account on the phone (if no account existed),
2. It _uploads_ the default contacts sqlite database during that process.

You see? But of course I dont see. And I'm sure we're both very very glad
you're not me...

Not so far on my new tablet.

You did it long ago with your mobile phone.

If I understand you correctly, are you saying you have an icon for an app (that happens to be the Samsung Email app) which when placed either on the desktop or inside a folder on the desktop (but not when it's displayed in
an app-drawer app)... "moves" in position a little bit from time to time?
That's hard to understand and even harder to debug without information.
What launcher?
How much movement?
How frequent is the movement?
Can you snap a screenshot of the before-and-after positions?
etc.

Interesting. I'm posting this with a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9FE (the cheaper model of yours) and it didn't come with a Samsung email app. I didn't
notice until now since I use Gmail and the Gmail app did come already installed. (Google: "Take that Samsung") But I checked in the Samsung store and it's there for download so all is not lost if I ever get pissed at Google. Bottom line, I'm not curious enough to download it to see if it
does what yours does, sorry. Suggestion if you can't fix it, get another email app, there are sure lots more out there...

I was surprised that the Samsung email app was not pre-installed (eg
with an icon in the Samsung folder on the desktop) as it was on my
present phone, a Samsung Galaxy A54, and my previous one which was also
a Samsung Galaxy of some model from a few years ago. Since I'm used to
this app on my phone, I chose it for the tablet as well. I'm sure there
are other apps which are better.
I wonder if Samsung have decided (or been coerced) not to pre-install
their own browser and email client, and let people decide which app to
use, rather like Microsoft had to unbundle Windows Mail / Windows Live
Mail, and Internet Explorer, and let people chose which programmes they >wanted.

Ah. Well my contacts on my phone work great. Thanks Google.

Too late. I was assimilated (alien assimulation from a Star Trek episode) by
Google years ago... 8-O
