Anyone know why my phone might have stopped syncing email automatically? I checked my account settings and it still says sync for email is on and find is auto with background enabled.

This has been a bit frustrating.
When you go through set-up, it gives you the option of adding a Google account which is necessary for using Market. But it also syncs your e-mail into the Gmail app and syncs your contacts. I don't want either of those because my Exchange has both contacts and I want to use the HTC mail widget for my Gmail.
I have tried various ways to prevent this from happening, but all have failed.
1. I went through set-up connecting to wifi and adding my Gmail. Then I went to options and removed syncing. But my e-mail and contacts are still in the Gmail app.
2. I did not connect to wifi so that I can first go to options and removing syncing, but that didn't help.
3. I created another generic gmail account just so I can use it for market. However, now that account is connected to my GTalk app instead of my normal account.
So here is my goal:
Use my everyday Gmail with GoogleTalk app, but without it syncing my Gmail contacts or my e-mail with the Gmail app.
Is there any way to do this? Am I missing something? Can you go to the syncing options without actually setuping the Google account first?
Thanks for the help.
Also, while we are on the topic:
What is the main difference between the two? I keep reading online that the Gmail app is supposed to be Push e-mail, but I have also read just as many posts saying it doesn't work or it doesn't do that.
I figured out a solution:
1. Go through set-up and connect to Wi-Fi, but do not set-up a Google account. Skip it.
2. Go to Settings>Syncing>Checking Auto-Sync and Sync in Background
3. Settings>Add Account>Google Account
And here is where you need some fast fingers...
4. Settings>Check Sync in Background and Auto-Sync and quickly click on Google Account you just set-up and uncheck Sync Contacts, Calendars, and E-mail.
I was able to uncheck e-mail sync, but it had synced some of my contacts already. That wasn't a problem b/c I haven't set up my Outlook account so I just deleted all the Google contacts it had synced. But I was fast enough where I didn't let it sync Gmail account.
Now no e-mails in Gmail app and I can use Google Talk.
Hello
Can someone please help me out with this
On my phone Xperia X10 2.3.3 i have a synced with my gmail account. But the emails are not pushed automatically.
I have to enable the auto sync and then the email arrives...
Can some one help me out to enable true push to my gmail account without enabling the auto sync option (because it consumes a lot of battery)
I have a Tab 10.1 WiFi running Task 14 with Pershoot's Kernal (not overclocking).
I find that Gmail won't sync in the background. I have to manually load the Gmail app for it to sync and show me new/changed messages. I have Wifi sleep policy set to never and background sync enabled in the settings.
How do I get Gmail to automatically sync?
Thanks
I've had that happen before. Just clear data for gmail app and it should be good to go then.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this and at first thought it worked but it hasn't. Gmail has gone back to not autoupdating until I manually launch the app...
Have you checked your sync settings?
Go to settings > accounts & sync > your gmail account > check sync gmail is checked.
It's normally pretty good at indicating on one of the latter screens whether there are sync issues or not.
You need to do it manually in sync as he said ^
Might want to change to alert per email.
Hi
I am using 2 imap accounts within the messaging application but the emails are nto being pushed to my device (the problem described in this thread.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432778 )
Yesterday I found the "Accounts and Sync Settings" application in my phone and as I checked it there, I found that my email accounts are listed there but the synchronisation settings for them is set to "OFF" which may be the reason why is the push not working...
I checked all the settings regarding the email accounts and their delivery options but they are set to be pushed, there is no data saver or whatever - simply are conditions are fine but I can't get them to sync in the background (yes - the folders are set to work in the background sync mode....)
Anyone knows what is wrong? - why are not the imap accounts enabled to use the background sync???
thanks
Setup:
Stock Z3
I use the native mail app with active synch for work
I have a gmail account also in the native mail app
Both of these are configured in the "mail" settings and operate fine
Under the "google" settings I have pretty much everything turned on for sync but have turned off the gmail sync which I would think would conflict?
The issue is that if I get a gmail message, and read it in the native mail app, the next time it syncs in seems to make that same email a new email again and shows unread.
What am I missing? I assume that if I want the other google stuff to sync that I have this configured correctly but something is off from a gmail perspective.
