Gmail app won't send any emails

I searched in this forum already, but couldn't find this.
I'm having issues with sending emails with the gmail application. They just sit in the Outbox with a sending status. I've checked the sync settings, refreshed both from the sync section, as well as in the app. I even tried just text, as well as using attachments. And, no, they're not being received either.
I'm currently running the leaked OTA and the new radio.

Uninstalling fixed the issue. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I had done the same thing earlier, so restoring it from Titanium Backup may have been the issue...

That makes sense. I use titanium as well but don't backup up any of the google apps cuz they come preinstalled in roms. Pleasure to help ya bud.

My fiancee's Dinc quit syncing overnight. I've had her running Optimized Shift for almost a week now with no issues. Then this morning she work up and her gmail wasn't syncing? I thought it was a rom issue, but I will try reinstalling gmail and see if that helps.
Also, her phone doesn't seem to save text messages as drafts on this rom, as it did with the stock rom. Was this left out of this rom or am I missing where they are stored?

Let us know how uninstall/reinstall works.
I haven't used stock messaging app in months but I believe drafts are saved under Menu>Drafts in all versions from Sense 1.0-3.0. I'm on a Sense 3.0 rom with 3.0 messaging app but I think it's the same in your rom. I know mine used to have trouble saving drafts with no Sender but I know it worked fine if I had a contact in the Send box prior to saving the draft.

Are you saying Menu > Drafts, from within the stock messaging app? If so, that's where I thought it should be...but it's not, for some reason. These are drafts already addressed to a sender, in an ongoing thread. I know with the stock rom, she could do Menu > Drafts, no problem, but the options appears to be gone now. I believe optimized shift is Sense 3.0, but still, I can't imagine they would take that option out.

GMail Sending Issues?

Has anyone been having issues with their Gmail not sending emails?
I have tried to send emails but I keep getting the "sending..." notification in the email header.
The syncing icon in the taskbar just keeps spinning.
Ive tried to reboot the phone, etc.
Nothing.
I"m on Caulkin's ROM.
This is really frustrating as I use my phone for work as well and it delays my response times to important Clients.
Thanks!

Yeah experimented that a couple of weeks a go and dont know what of the 3 things I did was the one that worked:
1)Go to settings/Applications/Manage Applications in there go where the gmail app is (Downloaded or All) and clear the app data
2)If it have been updated in the market search for it in your apps in the market app ...uninstall it and reinstall
3)The last option is to use Root Explorer to go to system/apps delete the gmail app there and from other source paste another copy of the gmail app
Hope it works

I had the same issue on a stock rom (rooted). Turned out it was an app called Seal that was the culprit.

I learned that whenever I restore a backup, I have the clear data in Gmail or I get the same issue.
Not sure if it's the same cause for yours but clear data and send a test email. Pm me after, I'm interested to see if this works

Yup.
That's exactly what did it for me.
I went from UnNamed over to Caulkins last week and did a Titianium restore of my app+data.
Cleared the data in Applications>Gmail. That did the trick.

Change default account without wipe?

Is there a way to change the default google account associated with a non-rooted phone? Every time I try to remove the account it tells me that this account is required by some applications and can not be removed. I ultimately want a new account associated with Google Talk on my Samsung Epic 4G.
If there is no other way than a factory reset on a non-rooted phone, is there a easy way to root the phone without wiping my data and then do this?
Thanks for any pointers and links specific to the Epic.

Try going to the settings app> accounts and sync> tap the google one then hit menu soft key and it might give you an option to remove account.

Have you tried adding the new account before removing the old one? No reason you couldn't have 2 Google accounts syncing. I do it now. Once both are going delete the one you no longer want.

Sometimes when I flash g-apps after upgrading to a newer build it asks me to put in my google account. Of course this is only on aosp roms

Yeah....unfortunately it wont let me delete the one that was entered in first and that is the one that is associated with Google Talk. I need the second one to be associated with GTalk. I get the error when I try to delete the first one.

Did you try clearing data in gmail in settings/manage apps?

All of the clear cache or data buttons for GMail seem to be greyed out. Nothing to click there.

Sadly I tried to find this answer once and found there is no way around the reset. However I hope someone has an answer. I don't know about any rooted solutions though.

I think you have to wipe the device if you want to remove the "primary" Google account.

unfortunately mate there is no way around it unless you wipe and start again. ive tried it before entered in my google account instead of spelling it as gmail and couldnt access gtalk due to conflicting user accounts on the phone as the one you enter on first start up is the main account on the phone so master reset is the only way around it.
wish there was a way around it but there isnt iv tried.

try flashing g-apps. If you are on TW backup first. I'm pretty sure this will clear out the account

I was able to do this on my HTC EVO and have it work OK.

Just use a root browser and go to /data/system and delete the "accounts.db" !!

If you read the OP, you would see that the phone is NOT ROOTED. Therefore your suggestion would be impossible.

Gmail stuck on"sending"

I replied to an email using gmail app and now its stuck on "sending".
I tried a reboot but no luck. Any suggestions?

Remove the account and add it back?

Clear cache and data for Gmail app. I've had this happen a few times.

I've had this happen before as well, and sometimes I think it might be something on Google server side, like it can take longer than usual for them to send an acknowledgement of reception? Idk.

Force Close the app and reopening it also does the trick if you do not feel like clearing cache and the like. It will work for a few and be fine then go right back to doing it.

Yeah, I've gotten this on pretty much every Android device I've owned. Pretty common problem and I wish Google would fix it. I just force close, clear cache..then resend.

will this happen with the other email app that came with this phone?
And how do you clear the emails cache?

settings/apps/find Gmail click on it and you can clear cache from there

I've had this happen a couple times before too. The first time, I didn't even know about it until my sister mentioned she never got a reply for so and so email even though I clearly remembered replying to it a week before that. So I went into the app and looked at my outbox and there was about 7 or 8 emails stuck in there that couldn't be set.
Made me a bit mad to say the least. And a year later, we are still having this issue.

I only ever had that problem with stuck outbox when I had a battery saver program "juice defender" running. Works perfectly ever since I stopped using and uninstalled the battery saver app. I read in another thread that those apps do more harm than good.

+1 to clear cache and data

I have had this happen, in over a thousand or so sent emails, four times, it was the same day, and only on 3g trying to send photos as attachments for work.
This has never happened when on wifi. I want to clarify that I use both gmail and the samsung included email app (I like it better for multiple gmail account usage for a few reasons I wont go into here). The samsung app, though it takes longer to load emails (even on wifi) I just like the feel of it better. Gmail sending is usually instantaneous, both apps have been super stable for me, I have adjusted their settings to run to my ideals, which includes hourly pings.

Hey, can someone shed some light as to why Clear Cache button is greyed out in the Gmail application? All I have is Force close and Uninstall updates. Everything else is unavailable.
Thanks in advance.

I have had this problem recenlty, I had to remove my account from the phone and add it again. It even stopped downloading new emails....smh
I think it's google though not the phones

[Q] Gmail Not Syncing

Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster. I've tried searching for this topic, and those threads the touch on it all stop short of my issue. Please let me know if this is covered somewhere else.
My gmail stopped syncing since I've flashed Darkside Evolution Beta03 (otherwise it's great). I've tried clearing the cache and the data under manage applications as well as made sure that gmail is checked on the sync menu, but still no dice.
It used to be that my phone would beep whenever I got a new email before it even showed up on my desktop, but now I have to manually hit refresh for the app to see it at all, let alone before my computer.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I tried this and no dice. It's still not syncing. I suppose I could always revert back to Juggernaut 5.0, which is what I was running before this, but it would be such a shame for what seems like a stupid reason.
Anyone else with thoughts?

Yes, I tried this, and it did not work. The only time it syncs is if I actually tell it to sync. There is nothing automatic about it ...

Did you by any chance turn sync off by accident

I've been in that forum since day one and have never heard of this issue. Of course I may have missed a post or 20. I suggest not going back like u said, for such a stupid reason. I think ull really enjoy the rom. Reflash cuz that shouldn't happen. I doubt you need to reflash but instead of nitpicking what it could be I'd just super wipe and start over. Good luck.

PROBLEM SOLVED
Thanks to both Teo032 and bzlik88.
I don't know why, but I just reflashed everything, starting from scratch, and it all seems to be working fine. It was the weirdest thing.

Coulda just told your Google account to sync with Gmail XD
