I have had this happen also.. In fact, I wont rec any email until i reset the phone then all kinds of notifications come through.. Weather alerts, email etc.. Am i setting something wrong?

 

I've noticed the same for a couple days..

 

I haven't noticed it but gmail is not my primary account so I don't get many emails. I usually have it turned on on the computer as well as the phone and it usually gets to the phone first.

ETA: I just sent myself an email at 9:08. It arrived at my phone almost immediately and now my computer has received it as well. I do not use the stock email app. I use handcent.

 

you havent gotten your update yet? very weird

 

Gmail push is at a crawl for me as well. My corp mail is popping up just as fast as before. No rhyme, no reason

 

mine is pushing instantly so I haven't noticed any delays. gmail isn't my primary email either but what I do is to have all my other accounts forward to gmail (usually keeping a copy at the original server) and I get an instant notification and can then decide if I want to check the original email account or deal with it in gmail. This allows me to keep the other accounts on a long sync time and save battery. This has been a real time saver for me since one of my other accounts is VPN access only and I now only need to connect when I really need to thanks to gmail push to the phone. I like it.

 

I didn't know that Handcent handled any email. Is it a good email app?

 

I meant K9 mail. (I was sending my daughter a message at the time of that post and had handcent on the brain.)

 

I've been having the same problem with gmail AND my POP3 account !

 

I'm on 2.0.1 and Gmail push has not been working for me (or perhaps it's just really slow, but I have received mail on my computer that has not yet arrived on the Droid). My exchange account has been pushing fine and quickly.

 

Any chance that the provider network might be having issues? Have you tried it while on WiFI? Mine is still pushing instantly. (Magic v1.6) Hope it isn't a v2.x issue.

 

I don't think so. Possibly a regional issue. I have 2.0.1 and I'm not having any problems sending or receiving gmail.

 

I've been having similar problems for a couple days now. The notification panel sometimes claims new gmail....then I go to the screen and the inbox won't refresh and show it to me.... Or I just get no notification for hours.

I'm technology handicapped....so offbeat question....but could google be bogged down with droid updates and affecting gmail?

 

I have Google Apps Sync (push on my iPhone 3GS, Droid arrives today), the last few days it has been terrible, pretty much useless. I think this presents huge problems for Google.

1. They are attempting to lure enterprise customers away from Microsoft, yet they don't provide a reliable mobile solution.

2. People using the Droid, who are experiencing this issue may think it is their Droid and may not realize it is gmail. Black eye for the Droid?

Google needs to address this ASAP

 

Count me in as having slow "push" as well for the last few days. Not a huge concern, as emails are usually delayed 30 mins or so. I can see however if you relied heavily on emails that this would present a problem. Google is on top of things and I am sure they will get this cleared up asap.

 

I have noticed if you have your 3rd party emails forwarded vs using mail fetcher the results are much better in gMail.

 

No I am still having problems, but for me it pretty much started up over the last couple days. Perhaps not coincidentally (or perhaps it is a coincidence, I have no friggin idea), I have just recently started using Home replacements. Anybody think it could be related to a new home replacement? Got the update this morning...worse than ever....

 

ditto to all the above. My push email is.... SLOW.
just sent a test email, took 2.5 minutes to arrive. Not the end of the world, but it used to show up quicker than my browser could refresh.
yes, I have the 2.0.1 update.
