Android Work Profile: Message stuck in outbox

Christian_ 10 months ago

Hi there,

we see a strange behaviour on our Android smartphones using work profiles:

I take a photo on the phone
photo is stored in my private area
I open my gallery app in my private area
I pick the photo and share it with my Gmail app in the work profile
I send the mail with the photo attached to my corporate address
Mail is stuck in my outbox

Am I missing any firewall exceptions or mobile permissions?

Thank you very much for any idea!

Christian

Thank you for reaching out to our community forum.

Are you only observing this behavior when sending an email with a photo attached to it or you're also observing it when sending a plain text email?

Plain text email is working. Problem occurs only when sending attachments from private area.

Hi Glenn,

thanks for the support. Here are my answers:

Gmail 2024.01.14.xxx

Our own Exchange Server.

No special config, just mailserver and credentials.

EAS Proxy is not involved.

In Gmail, the mail stays in outbox and "Fehler" or "Error" is shown on the mail. No logs on the firewall or in central.

Hello Chris,

Thank you for sharing this. Can you specify which exchange server you're using and what version?
