Hej,

I too have a problem with Gmail and the N900 email client.

I have set up my gmail account as the only email account. About 500 mails in my inbox. I don't use imap-idle, nokia messaging or any of that fancy stuff; just plain, simple imap (+smtp for sending, I guess).

Email checking is totally broken on my N900.

No matter what updating interval I set, the N900 checks my inbox only about once or twice per day. Whenever I change network (from wlan to 3g or back), it checks it too. But after the initial connection attempt, it just doesn't update anymore, or just every few hours.

This is driving me mad. I have played around with the update settings, switched on every option there is. I set any interval; the n900 doesn't care.

Right now, the email app is open, sitting there idle. Last update was three hours ago (it's set to 15min). Updating manually works fine.

Are there any hidden settings or voodoo rituals to make that email program automatically update its stupid emails? This is really ticking me off.
