Help Gmail App Crashes constantly

I rooted my Galaxy S II the day I bought it, back in January, and put the CoZ ROM on it. I have had zero problems with the phone, until today. Nothing has been changed on my phone for a few days now, no updated/new apps, etc. I woke up this morning to check my email, and the Gmail app has crashed on my main Gmail account which I use for the app sync and everything else for the phone. The app will open, freeze, and then start bootlooping very fast. If I press the Home button to close the app, I can be doing something else and the Gmail app will just pop up and start bootlooping again. I tried rebooting the phone, nothing. I tried Anti-virus software. Nothing. I did a cold reboot (aka power off/remove battery). Nothing.

I went to the application settings and cleared the cache and all the saved settings, which allowed me to open the app and select one of the Gmail accounts I have saved to my phone. I selected my secondary account, which is only used for certain messages, and loaded that as my account for Gmail to use.

The app worked just fine. No bootlooping, nothing. I can check messages and do everything as normal.

So then I went and cleared the cache and files again, and re-logged in to my main Gmail account. Guess what? It's acting stupid again!

What am I supposed to do!? Does it matter how many messages are saved to my Gmail inbox or something? I feel completely stupid at this point! I know how to root my phone and do all that but I can't get email to work!?
 
It might be worth flashing the rom again, just make a nandroid and backup your other files too. Some roms will just reload the system and you won't need to set up everything again, but I'm not familiar with your current rom. And by cleared settings you did the following?

Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Gmail>Clear Cache & Clear Data
 
Yes. That is the process by which I cleared the data. Unfortunately I can't figure out a way to uninstall the Gmail apparently completely. Otherwise I'd try that.
 
Same issue here only tf201 unrooted ice cream sandwich

Gmail flakes out to so often I cannot use it. Its a gmail issue I believe
