try synching it with the exchange server instead of google...
just add an exhange activesync account under accounts and sync... and go to manual set up.
email: youremail@
gmail.com
Server:m.google.com
Domain:
Username:Youremail@
gmail.com
Password:youpassword
let me know if it works.. it should be better because it will be push email.. so you get notified as items arrive..
