I noticed that sometimes an email will disappear from my inbox, and then when I search for it, or for all email from that person, it shows up in the search results but without an inbox tag on it (no tag at all so where is it??), so I move it back to the inbox and then it's fine again.
I think it happens when I read the email on my phone and then mark it as unread. But not sure if that's the main reason as I do this often and this has only happened with a few.
I noticed the same issue but never said anything. I got an email from an ad I posted on craigslist and when I went to back to reply the email was gone. I know it has done this to me a couple of time, most have been from craigslist and others from personal emails. What gives?
WTF it just happened again ...when I get a gmail on my mytouch and click on to see what it says. The next thing i know the email disappears, i loogged into the my gmail account on my computer and search for that email and I find it in the trash? Why is it doing this?
this happens to me too on my hero roms. are you guys on hero roms too if so which ones, if not, are you on stock roms?
it is kind of random.
Just open the mail app then press:
Menu -> More -> Settings -> Send & Receive -> Download options
Then select "By days", then scroll down and select "All"
Be happy
Sorry for posting to an old thread but seemed to be quite relevant.
I was also having the problem with my mail expiring and understand what happens now thanks to this thread.
If I change to "All" in the download options, is there anyway to limit the initial download to a set number of days or do I have to manually clear my mailbox? I know, its my own fault for having such a messy inbox, but can't really face deleting over 500 mails on my phone
Thanks for any help you can give.

There is a long thread about this on the Vodafone eforum: http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=25304&st=100
Yeah your stuck with them mate. Forget the default email app on the magic and go and get your self the K-9 app (free) from the market place.
It DOES delete your emails and to be honest is the best email app around, best of all it's free!
You can try going into applications --> manage applications on the phones settings, scrolling down to email or google mail/google mail storage and then click the 'clear storage' button. Apparently this clears the trash can. Works on my mates but for me it just screwed up Gmail so it's up to you if you try it.
Either way go get K-9
I have had my HD2 for a few weeks...love it. However was doing some customizing tonght and suddenly my gmail account is screwed up. It shows two folders but when I click on the gmail one it only goes to the hotmail one. I try to add it and it says it is already there. I am sure if it some simple thing I am missing. Help!!
just delete all eaila ccounts and start over. go to the email tab, menu, account settings and trash them...then set it back up
I don't know if this a problem with gmail its self or my phone but gmails keep getting stuck in out box and not sending and when deleting read emails they somehow reappear in my inbox as if I didn't delete them.
Sometimes I can't view all my emails, it says ( 1 ) for example but it won't show it no matter how many times i refresh. I have my gmail account synced with SE sync and I'm really puzzled to why this is happening. Anyone else got the same?
Iv tried doing a master reset twice this week on the phone ( x10i with latest fw r2ba26 rooted ) and this has not helped.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I had the same problems and I found out eventually what has been causing them.
I will try to explain, but keep in mind, my english are not perfect!
So, Gmail works via the Google Cloud, which means that you need to be constantly connected to the internet so that you can get notification and/or send mails. Under Settings>Synchronisation the Gmail should be ticked in order for that to work.
However, if you don't want to use the cloud thing (untick the Gmail option), you can still use Gmail.
But in that case, you need to manually ask Gmail to connect to the internet.
So, after composing a mail and hitting Send, you need to press the Menu button and choose Refresh. That way your mail will be sent.
The same applies when you delete an email. You need to hit Refresh for that too.
Also, after reading an email, you should hit Refresh in order for it to be marked are read.
As for the "unread" mails that don't show up, sometimes they "get stuck" in the cloud and not marked as read, after you have actually opened them.
If you open Gmail on your PC, or on your phone's browser, you will see the mail that hasn't been marked as read.
Hope I helped!
I understand what you are saying, your english is fine The thing is i do have gmail sync turned on within the settings and even if i keep pressing refresh nothing happens about the ones which i delete or have read, makes absolutly no differnce apart from anything i deleted will come up as unread again.
I have just reflashed my phone with SEUS and 'repaired' so we'll see if that helps.
Thanks for the quick reply by the way
While googling your issue, I came across this interesting discussion, take a look!
And to save you a little time from reading, someone said that this solved the problem:
I was final able to fix this by doing the following:
Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All>
Then scroll down to 'Gmail' and select it
Then select 'Clear Data'
When you next open Gmail it will re-sync your mail. It cleared up my problem. This wipes out all of your Gmail settings, so you will need to set up your ringtone and notification options if you had made any customizations.

Thanks very much I have just finished flashing and have set up everything how it was before. I shall do that now.
Thank god for titanium back up lol
So what happens here is my Gmail is not syncing correctly. For instance right now in the top left corner it shows "5 Inbox" When everything is grey and read. It's not deleting the email from my gmail account either. When I delete the emails manually from my computer, The counter in the top left then returns to "0 Inbox" So maybe its just not deleting the email? I also used to recieve the email almost instantly. Now I will recieve emails hours late... I cant figure it out. I am running on Fresh 3.4 right now.. And I had the same problem on cyanogen 6.1 ... Any help would be great.. Thanks
Open gmail. Menu > more > settings > select which labels to sync.
Change number of days to sync up or down by one.
Have inbox set to sync all.
Go to inbox and hit refresh. It should sync now. After that set number of days to sync to 3.
I used to have this problem and since i have done this i have not had sync issues in the past three months.
Good luck.

As soon as I hit sync it brought all the mail from my inbox to the phone. I was then able to delete it... However it still didnt sync on the server... They are still inbox ...
I'm experiencing the same problem. Deleting Gmail cache from Settings >Applications helps for a day or two then it goes back to not syncing.
I do notice that everytime i do that its lasts a little longer each time. But this is a really frustrating little issue.
I'm on the latest Fresh rom. Latest Gmail version.
I actually just read the comments on Gmail app through the market. It seems a lot of people are having this issue... I hope it gets fixed soon. Its extremely annoying.
Well i tried and stated what worked for me. Hope you find your fix.

I know you did.. I appreciate it.. Thanks for sharing!
I'm having a ton of issues as well... mainly, whatever I try and send goes straight to outbox and gets tagged as "sending..." It never actually sends. HTC mail is working fine so I've just been using that.
Here's a fix:
go to Menu>Search and search for is:unread then hold-tap on each item (like to copy/paste a text box), and tap "Mark Read"
Works for me every time. It appears that the issue is that when you open and read a message in Gmail on your phone, it doesn't sync that to the server. Hopefully Google will fix it soon.
Same here, last night I read on another android phone section, to go into Settings, Sync, Uncheck sync all, then uninstall Google/Gmail account, reset phone, go back & re-add your account, sync. So far its worked for me & no more issues.
Hi Guys,
Quite often I see that the Gmail app on my N7 (second generation) does not show the latest emails even after a complete sync. I have to switch between folders (say from Inbox to Priority-Inbox, and back to Inbox) to see the new emails. I know I am not the only to see this issue as I have seen a few redditors complaining about it as well, but I was wondering if any know of a solution to this problem.
Most often i have to do the folder switch trick as I do not know if the list of emails is up to date. This is a big annoyance.
Thanks,
nitro
I've never had problems with Gmail...
on an other note, you're posting this under the wrong forum, this should be in Questions and Answers
I have found no way to check all you mail accounts at once in "combined view" in the mail program. You need to go to each one and refresh it to check it.
Thats is of course if you DO NOT have your push setup.
