Help Email problems

there's a gmail bug where messages with attachments sometimes just get stuck in the outbox, and it's just sitting there "sending" forever. I usually toggle airplane mode or wifi to get gmail to actually send. Apparently this issue has been around for a long time, and google doesn't really do anything about it. I currently use the stock HTC mail app to send messages with attachments. clunky fix, sigh. Over the last two days, I've had one or two incidents where the stock mail app gave me a notification: "failed to send".... but I just pressed resend and it went through.

I got that failed to send last Friday using my work email on the stock email app. Weird?

Why don't you use the gmail app for gmail?
