Can't add Exchange account to Gmail even with Lollipop topic

Hey guys, I assumed that with the Lollipop update, I would be able to add my exchange account to GMail as I did on my Nexus 5.
Is it normal that this option is not available?

Thanks

[Q] Any good alternatives to Gmail on Android? topic

I have 3 labels on 1 gmail account. One for personal, another for a job and one for Amazon/Half/eBay sales. Any app that you can customize the email icon depending on the label?

For example:

Job label Blue Icon on notification bar.

Personal Emails = Red Icon.

Amazon/Half/eBay = Green Icon

etc,

Thanks!

[Q] Android 5.0.1: Gmail issue 5mb attachment limit with 2007 exchange accounts topic

Hi,

I am having trouble getting exchange accounts to work in Gmail in Android 5.0.1
Pre-lollipop update we were using the onboard android mail client with no worries, keen for the gmail integration we upgraded to gmail where we discovered we cannot download or send attachments greater than 5mb when using an exchange account in gmail.

When downloading an attachment I get the following error "Couldn't download. Touch to retry."
When attaching a 5mb file I get "Can't attach file over 5mb."

The debugging I have done:

• Files over 5mb can be downloaded/sent over wifi


• All settings related to limits have been disabled


• I have checked the exchange 2007 settings and there is a limit of 15mb set


• Removing this limit did not help


• Tested downloading an attachment using a gmail account, this was successful


• Rolled back to lollipop with no updates: no success


• Ensured all apps are OS is up to date


• 3rd party apps such as 'outlook' have no issue


• I am able to download attachments greater than 5mb using OWA


• I have tried multiple file types including PDF, ZIP and JPEG


• Confirmed accounts are still working on email clients pre-gmail integration

Not getting anywhere from this I rooted a test phone and got the following information from logcat when attempting to download an attachment:

Code:

---

W/AttachmentService( 2363): Attachment #346 is not eligible for download

W/AttachmentService( 2363): Attachment #346 cannot be downloaded ever

Vague results here didn't help me that much, is anyone here able to help with this issue I am having?
Unfortunately using a 3rd party mail application isn't a solution I can use for this.
Is this a known bug for the system?

Any help or advice for places to look is greatly appreciated, I have run out of ideas for trying to find what this issue is.
Thankyou
