Help GMail doesn't auto get messages anymore

[sethgoldstein]

Hey Everyone,

I have a rooted Droid X. I love it. Recently it stopped getting GMail on its own. I have to hit refresh to have it get the mail? Anyone else have this problem? Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks!

Figured it out!

Please explain what you did to fix it.

maybe update to the new gmail app from the market?

Go to the GMail app -Select It
Find the Hard Menu Key – Press It
Select Accounts
Press the hard menu key again
Select Account Settings
Make Sure the Background Data and Auto-Sync are selected or checked with green check marks
as well as the sync is ON for your account(s)

It's posted on my blog as well: Android GMail Syncing Tip

When following those steps, I don't have any boxes to put check marks in to select background data or auto-sync...

Had the same problem, only way to fix it was to do a factory reset
