Strange Gmail/iPhone Problem

I hope to!
Google mail support emailed back and wanted some more information which I provided to !

But for my issue has not been solved wait to see ... 😟

Because I think that I submitted the report after You

My problem is fixed. I contacted Google last week with all the details and today, I strangely found a second gmail entry in my accounts list on my iPhone. It was identical to the one giving my trouble.

I deleted both accounts and created a new one, and the problem was solved.

Strange.

Same problem here. it basically seems to work when it wants. After many months of perfect and fast excellent gmail spread over two computers and an iphone (a powermac and a G4 mirror) all running leopard the last week has been a mess. deleting re-adding seems to help for 1 pass, and the messages do eventually get to the inbox, but they are not coming in like they used to. strangely the iphone seems to respond better but that is still a mess. works fine with non-gmail emails.

is it time to switch to yahoo? anyone having any luck?

I'm now getting emails in imap BUT if I email the phone from the gmail account FROM the iPhone the mail does not get through. If I email the iPhone from my desktop the mail gets through fine. Strange.

I'm having the same problems. Very frustrating. I reported the problem with Google and they said they know about it and that their "engineers are diligently working" on the issue.

No ETA though.

I'm thinking about switching to my dot mac email. I need better reliability since I use my iPhone/email a ton for my business.

One question: Why can't I see my sent messages on my iPhone when I send the message from my MacBook Pro?

If I can fix this issue, I'll switch from Gmail.

I'm having the exact same issue. I agree with everyone here, it's definitely a Gmail issue. I've changed no settings on my MacBook Pro or my iPhone but am experiencing this. I submitted the issue to Google via their tech support e-mail form (so far I've only received a canned response back).

I'm using Google Apps for my e-mail. My wife's account, so far, is not exhibiting this issue. Hopefully it's resolved soon. Very frustrating.

Here is my temporary work around for this issue. Create a new gmail account. Set up forwarding in gmail settings in each of the two accounts, new account to old account, and old account to new account. Install the new gmail account in your iphone as usual. You can delete or simply turn off your original gmail account in iphone settings for now, but this is not required for this to work, I just did it to keep from getting multiple emails. You will now get all the emails on your iphone, without any emails left behind, or at least this worked for me, hope it works for you. This work around is based on the fact, in my case at least, that this problem only happens in ONE of my gmail accounts, and not the others. I don't know why that is.

I too like many was having the same issue with the iphone, however after checking the settings within Gmail and re-adding it seemed to work for me.

I too echo your comment about this iphone and now version 1.13

GOOGLE / Gmail setting / Forwarding POP/IMAP
IMAP Access:

Enable IMAP
Disable IMAP

So far so good, mine is still working fine since about Feb 3

By the way, since 1.1.3 I had a couple of other minor problems like the iPhone not going to sleep under certain apps like Maps. I performed a reset Settings-General-Reset-Reset All Settings and all those problems vanished. I don't recall if I did this before or after IMAP started working again but it's worth a try.

I can guarantee you this isn't an iphone/mail.app problem. If you log in to the web interface of gmail, the mail isn't there yet. It hasn't been delivered. At least not in my case. I'm using an iphone and mail.app on my MBP.

EXACT same issue here...
I cant seem to find any information on how to resolve this. It is rather frustrating though.

This is very frustrating!! I have Deleted and recreated my account 3 times now with no luck.

Someone - Anyone - PLEASE HELP!

Same problem here too. Started a few days ago.

Let's go Google, fix it.
