Gmail and Apple Mail not working together on iPhone
I've been trying for over a week to get my Gmail account hooked up with my iPhone's Mail app. I have googled as much as I can, verified my settings are correct, and nothing is working. I have enabled IMAP in Google, I've added my Google account to my iPhone and enabled Mail. I've setup the notifications to "Fetch" automatically. Nothing is working and it's really frustrating as I already have the Gmail app hooked up to my school email and I'd like to keep them separate.
My Mail app just spins forever and says "checking for mail" and nothing ever happens. I've deleted my Google account and re-added it. I've shut down my iPhone and restarted it. I have the most current iOS 16 update. Nothing is working!!! any help would be greatly appreciated before I lose my mind. Thanks.
