Re: Gmail Sync Email Lag?

Gmail sync has had intermittent problems since the end of last year. There are a bunch of threads open on google's help forums. It seems to come and go inconsistently, and for the most part Google is saying that its technically still in beta, so deal with it. I had very bad lag issues in December (delivery anywhere from 1 - 6 hours behind) but mine is currently working good. As a matter of fact the emails on my TP2 have timestamps that are often earlier than in my gmail inbox.

Its a free service so considering the fact that most ISP's don't even allow IMAP connections, I'll deal with some lag now and then. You can always set up IMAP in addition to gmail sync and just activate it when you need to...
