I cant get my gmail to retrieve messages. I deleted info and set it up again, but no luck. Is anyone else seeing this problem?
Working here just fine right now and has been all morning.
Is it not receiving them at all or are they just not syncing properly. If its not syncing properly then check to see if gmail is installed to your sd card because i have had issues with it not syncing properly when that's the case.

You've gone to Settings > Accounts and Syncing and checked the box for emails under your Gmail account right? There used to be some options in the Gmail app under Menu > More > Settings but half of them disappeared in the last update for some stupid reason.
Well I checked all the settings and it all looks like they are all ok. I may just have to delete gmail and download again to start over.
Somehow my email (POP3) accounts have been changed from sync to disabled in settings. If I go to settings, accounts, email, all email accounts show sync disabled. If I click on the sync icon my only choice is to manually sync the account.
If I go to email, settings, for each account, sync email is checked and there is an appropriate sync schedule selected.
I find the email is not being checked per schedule, it is acting disabled as it shows in settings and only checks if I manually checked it. It was working properly at some time in the last week or so.
Obviously I must have changed something to cause this, but I can't figure out how to fix it.
Any ideas?

When in the email app, settings, per account, above the just 'sync email' button, under ''days to sync,' is it set to automatic? Also the inbox check frequency, make sure its not set on 'never'.

I do not see those settings. I go to email, settings, account, 1st section is common settings, then data usage, then sync settings. In sync settings only thing is sync schedule. I that are the settings for peak, off peak, etc. Am I looking in the wrong place because I can't find what you're referring to.
Note: this is a non-rooted phone running stock JB received OTA.
I've had problems with stock JB phones and enabling Exchange sync (yeah, it's not POP3, but I wonder if it's the same issue?)
Try this: Settings > Data usage > (Hit the Menu button / Action bar [the vertical ... thing]) > make sure "Restrict background data" is UNCHECKED and Auto sync data is CHECKED.

Restrict background data is unchecked, but auto sync data is not. I am checking it now. Hopefully that will do the trick. I'll report back.

Thank you so much -- that did it! I couldn't find the setting I needed.
Glad to hear it!
From my experience, these settings are set by certain carriers or phone mfgs on JB ROMs (I've seen it mostly on Verizon devices though), since you said you did an OTA, that's probably what changed it. Apparently they want to prevent people from using data or something

It wasn't the OTA that broke it. I did the OTA immediately before setting anything up and the email sync was definitely working then. Something since then (maybe something I installed?) caused.
Oh well, at least its fixed now and I now know where to look for the setting.
thank you so much, this worked for me,,,, after fixing these settings, I was able to go back to the email client, and fix those settings and everything worked,,, God bless you
This has started happening to me this weekend and I've no idea why... I've had to turn on email syncing 3 times.

The option is in Data Usage..... Thanks for the right answer!

on my Optimus G in Calendar/settings/accounts when I go to my gmail account the top of the screen has a message "This account is not being synced..." How can I make this happen? I read a suggestion to delete the information in the calendar and let it re-sync, but I don't know how to delete the calendar info. I've gone into gmail calendars on my pc and things seem ok there??? Is there another way to enable the sync?

If you have calendar synced (will delete local data): Go to system settings and apps. Click the all tab. Scroll down and find calendar storage clear data and force close. Check calendar/syncing.

unfortunately neither suggestion worked. When I go to the Account & Sync page, Gmail is not listed. I would have expected that. Is this the problem? How do I add Gmail to the sync, or Gmail calendars. My Gmail account actually syncs and pushed mail.
Weird... Gmail should be added to Accounts & Sync when Gmail is installed. I would try uninstalling Gmail entirely and reinstalling.
As for Calendar... as stated above, System Settings>Apps and clear Data on Calendar Storage. This fixed syncing errors for me.
Also, try going into Settings within the Calendar app itself. There you can select which calendars to sync. Maybe all are deselected, so that is the reason for it saying that in Accounts & Sync?
I can sync contacts from gmail to my phone but I cannot sync contacts from my phone to gmal?
I have tried deleting an re adding account no luck
Any ideas?
Check your Gmail settings on your google account using a full browser on PC.
The contacts toggle in your personal settings may be turned off.
Google has changed many things as of late, and settings will change without our knowledge....g
Where is this contact toggle you speak of ? I cannot seem to find it
On gmail my contacts have a check in my contacts box
But they sync from gmail to my note 2 but what is on my note 2 will not sync to gmail
this is frustrating lol
Is your " auto sync app data" box checked ?
Open your phone dialer application, and go into your settings within the app. It's under "accounts". And verify the box check. Its under your email address.
The auto sync interval is controlled by the general settings of the device I believe.....g
Edit: The auto sync controls all information being synced to your contacts and of course the opposite holds true....g
I'm hoping this is possible.
So on my personal phone I always use the gmail App for my accounts.
I just recently started working for a company that doesn't issue cell phones, but will set up your exchange account on your personal phone, so i've gone and done that.
Everything works fine, accept the Exchange account is accessed through the Stock Email app, and it is also synching my 2 gmail accounts. Is it possible to remove the gmail accounts from the Stock email app? I've gone into the app's settings and I can't see anything to remove them. I can see the option to stop the sync, but that does me no good for whats already been synced.
Any tips?
