Strange Gmail/iPhone Problem

I have 4 gmail accounts on my iPhone- always worked fine so far. Since about Thursday my main (gmail) account exhibits some odd behavior.

The most recent message doesn't appear on the iPhone (Mail). It may take up to 24 hours for the most recent message to finally appear in Mail. If a newer email gets into my gmail inbox, the previous message (that wasn't available on the iPhone) suddenly appears in Mail- but the most recent message doesn't.

I've deleted/re-added the email account on my iphone, and disabled/reenabled IMAP in my Gmail account- to no avail. The other 3 gmail accounts work w/o any problems.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

17" PB G4 1.67GHz DL, Mac OS X (10.5.1), iPhone 1.1.3

Mine isn't fixed either. I have to grab my gmail with my old POP workaround.

I spoke too soon - after functioning properly for several hours yesterday, the problem is back...

It's not a dot or something as my account doesn't have a dot and I'm also experiencing the problem. Some accounts are affected and others aren't.

It's not fixed here. Still have the same issue. However, mine started later on than some others here.

Hey, that's a pretty good idea until Google gets things worked out. Thanks for sharing.

You could also create a new Yahoo email account, and forward all of your Gmail there.

This gives you the added advantage of Push email... a feature which is right at the top of my Gmail wishlist!

I'm having the exact same problem and I've contacted google and have not heard back yet. I hope it gets resolved soon.
