[Q] Gmail sync issues - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My gmail account hasn't synced in two days. Just gmail. Google contacts and calendar sync just fine. I'm not getting notifications about new emails. However...if I launch the gmail app...it shows new mail in the inbox under labels. But I'm not able to view the new emails in the actual inbox.
Anyone experiencing this as well? If no one else is having this kind of problem can you suggest a fix?
Sidenote- I thought about deleting my account from my captivate but I get a notice that I have to do a clean wipe in system settings to do so.
Help please!?!

I have been getting this for awhile even before ther recent update. (Im on the Desire)
HELP!

[Q] Option to *NOT* Sync Gmail?

I'm running CM9 Nightly (8/8/12). I obviously need to sign into my gmail account in order to use the play store. However, I don't want to sync anything from that account. The reason is that the tablet is shared by the family and I don't want anyone to accidently send e-mail from my account. I also don't want everyone reading my e-mails. After I signed it I went to accounts & sync and turned off syncing with google. However, my e-mail is still in the gmail app. I tried clearing cache and data on the gmail app, but that didn't work either. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Should I create a new gmail account like 'ryanDONTSYNC' in order to have something to log into that doesn't have e-mail / contacts / calendar items?
Thanks,
Ryan

[Q] Native email problem

I am using the standard email application and am syncing 2 btinternet accounts and 1 gmail.
The problem i have is that on one of the btinternet accounts it keeps syncing old emails and notifying me that i have a 'new' email. If i they mark the email as read or delete it then when the app next syncs it brings up another old email and notifies me i have a 'new' email.
The other issue (and possibly why im getting this problem) is that it only shows the last 25 emails. If i click the load more then it does load more of them but it seems that after a couple of times syncing that i am them back with just the last 25.
Anyone know how to get over this or what the problem might be?
I know there are other apps available but actually i like the simplicity of the standard app. I have tried aqua mail etc but had different sync errors with that .

[Q] Gmail syncing slow on 4.4

I know I asked this before but every since I updated to 4.4 my gmail sync has been painfully slow. Once in a while I'll get an instant notification other times I'll have to wait upwards of 5 minutes for it to come through. I didn't have this issue on 4.3. All I noticed when I checked the sync settings is that the sync icon was stuck on gmail and I had to manually refresh it. Does anyone have any suggestions. I already cleared the data and rebooted but there is no change.

Check the sync settings on the gmail app.

All those are fine. I'll send a test email and it will be instant but if I repeat it I'll have to wait 5+ minutes for it to come up again.
Mine Is Just Slow To Sync
My issue is similar, but different. My Gmail app on my phone is not syncing (or at least it takes forever) to sync with the Gmail itself.
If I delete 10 messages from my phone (Gmail) then go to a computer and visit my Gmail account via a web browser, the messages are still there.
I'm running HTC One. 4.4 Kit Kat Seems to have started around the time I upgraded. I also have a Google Apps domain, not straight Gmail. But we all know Google Apps mail is just Gmail with your own domain name.
Anyone else having this issue?
DISREGARD, I RESOLVED BY: FORCE STOPPING MAIL APP, CLEAR DATA. THEN RECONFIG CLIENT/APP.

Gmail emails notification not showing as email comes in?

My Nexus 6 gmail emails are not showing as they come in. The account is synced but I am having to pull down in the inbox to get it to refresh and get emails. This is causing me to get emails late. Is this a lollipop problem??
Tried deleting the gmail account in Nexus 6 and reading the account with same results.
I am testing now in my ONe Plus One phone which is on kitkat with no issues and all emails coming in on time and showing notifications.
Exactly same problem I'm also facing..

Did you at any point install Inbox and used it to turn off notification from gmail?
Over the last few days, I've been having sporadic problems with inbox as well.
Easiest/best solution is to enable IMAP and SMTP on your gmail account, and use k9mail instead of gmail application.
I had uninstalled inbox but just reinstalled and gmail notifications are on. Uninstalled inbox again and only using gmail. Using my OPO till figure out issue. Can not be missing emails.
Thanks,

Gmail has been very buggy and not reliable. I've had issues where I link all my e-mail accounts or try to move emails and it does not work. If you have several email accounts under gmail, and you are trying to do an action while under the "all inboxes", switch to your individual e-mail account where it says "inbox" and then try deleting it. Gmail does not work reliably under the "all inboxes" feature.
The app could use a lot of improvement, imo.
