Help intermittent email synch issues - yahoo & hotmail

I've noticed in the last couple of weeks, maybe couple of months, that my hotmail account will often stop retrieving new emails for long periods of time using the mail app for my RAZR MAXX. I can still send emails from the account int he app, but I don't see any new items in my inbox. If I push the refresh button I don't get any errors, but it doesn't recognize/pull any new mails either.

I've found that deleting and re-installing the account will cause it to go get all of the items in my inbox, and usually for a couple of days it will work correctly. But then it will stop pulling again and I will be unable to get emails on the phone without going through the web browser.

Just yesterday, my Yahoo mail account started acting the same way, not pulling new emails. This is starting to get frustrating. Any ideas?
 
This has been a known issue with the GB operating system on the Razr. There are reports that ICS has fixed this. Do you have GB or ICS?

You could try the free app "K-9" it seems to eliminate this problem on GB.
