[bearone21]

i've got 20+ in my gmail inbox & it syncs fine.

I'm having the same problem. 

Droid X, using a single gmail account, and using the stock gmail app.

I've checked to make sure sync is on and also cleared the cache for the app.

How long have you had this problem? And have any of you recently activated the 2 step verification preference on Google?

Hard to pick a firm date, but I started noticing my email not updating about 1 week ago, +/-.

I haven't yet activated the 2 step verification.

The mail will arrive on my phone, but it's always very delayed.  When I launch the app and hit the refresh button, then it'll all update.

It's never asked for my password, so I don't think it's having any issues in that area.

Have you tried Settings>Manage Apps>All>GMail(or what you use)> clear cache. ?

If that does not work you could select "clear data" (THIS WILL REMOVE YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT AND SETTINGS on your device) and then you would have to set up your email account on the device again, so you would need to make sure you have a back up or your sync'd to your inbox online.

Also it is possible you could have a sync on or off issue, here is a previous thread that was corrected.

Cache clearing didn't work, but "clear data" seems to have done the trick.

I was hesitant, but it all updates like it was never gone. (why I love google!)

Thanks for your help.

I know! I love Google. It backs everything but my ROM!

Yeah i have tried the clear data feature, 3 times now, and it still will not alert me when I receive a new email, I would really like not to have to reformat the phone, or take it back to factory install, but I really need this to work.

Have you went to the settings menu and under the battery settings there

should be a option for mobile data or data sync. You may have to create a

custom battery profile or try performance option.
