Yes I have the same issue. Gmail not coming through to my iphone email app inbox. Same behavior as described above - emails come through for about an hour then stop. Some emails came through to my 'all mail' folder, but not my 'inbox'. Junk mail comes through, but not my normal email. Settings are all correct. Tried deleting and reinstalling the gmail account. restarting phone. Hard resetting phone. Now I am busy restoring the software on the phone through itunes app on my desktop computer. Been on gmail support forums and now chatting with apple tech support for over 2 hours troubleshooting. Last resort is to restore the software. Huge mission for such a seemingly small issue. Hoping this works...

Are you not receiving emails or not able to send one?

Have you configured POP3 or IMAP


Not working is a very broad term. Refer to google article below...
