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...

Yeah - that's how I understand it.
I luv Google stuff but as with anything else in life, you get what you pay for.
That said, on my TP1, the way around this was to go into the account setting for pocket outlook (exchange) on occasion (failure to get instant mail) & untick the sync folder for the Inbox (also if you have Calendar & Tasks) & save the setting again.
This essentially undo your setup but the TP1 actually remembers your Google sync setups so it was merely a simple tick to turn it back on when you go & retick. This kinds of reset the connection to Google's servers IMO.
& off you go on your merry push mail ways.
Now you do lose some email upon the download depending on how many days of mail you want to pull down ( last 3 days for me)
But since I really don't sync my Gmail but use it more as a push function, YMMV.
