Help gmail no longer syncing - yes, Sync is checked

Yesterday I noticed that my emails from my phone were not getting sent. Today I noticed I had a bunch in my outbox that said sending. I have the sync turned on and all my other Google apps sync (Calendar, Picasa, Contacts) but gmail never updates.
I can't force it to send and receive either. And I can't remove my account to set it up again without doing a factory reset.

Any ideas why just my gmail is not syncing anymore?

BTW I tried to uncheck all sync options turn off phone and back on then check them again without any luck.
 
And I can't remove my account to set it up again without doing a factory reset.

Why not? Click on Google in Accounts and Sync, then Remove Account. Then set it back up again. Only takes a minute, enter Gmail address and password and it's back up and running.

I tried that and it told me that other software requires the account and I would have to do a factory reset to remove he account.
 
For those interested, it just started working this morning and sent and received everything from Sunday. I didn't do a thing, I assume it was a Google gmail issue?
