so many problems; first, I wanted an add-on to Gmail, not another app; Gmail has all my accounts, but this requires me to add accounts I already have to my phone; I want to go into an email and touch something and have my email read to me; this app most certainly does not do that it also only seems to be able to see a few of my emails--and not even recent ones I never even got to the point of trying to read the whole of a large message, but it looks like it only reads header info

Google blocked the app due to "security". When I tried to give Mail Reader all the permissions, it instantly reverted to all permissions denied. Pity; I hope the developer can fix this issue.

Hello, how did you set the mail checking frequency? It has to be set, otherwise no automatic reading will happen.
