all the sudden, my sda wont find new email. the settings havent changed, and it still connects, logs on, but then it says "sending and receiving" and "disconnecting" without getting any email. i havent changed any of my settings, on the phone or on gmail (the email provider i am using)

has anyone experienced this before, and/or does anyone have any advice? not getting new email on my phone is totally the worst problem i could have with it.

thanks!

Try going to the Gmail site and checking the POP settings to be sure. I've had them automatically reset to different settings before for POP and forwarding.

i did that and they looked fine, but just in case, i manually reset them to be for now forwarding. then i resest again to be for forwarding. now it works fine!

weird, but it worked, so i guess if this happens to anyone in the future, best advice is to go to gmail, disable and then enable with ideal settings.

thanks for indirect help though- without it id still be pissed- now im not!

I had a little different problem, but it fits this description so I'll add it here.

I had a problem getting AvantGo to sync via wifi using my setup at home. It had been working just fine, but then all of the sudden it kept failing. Then all of the sudden I couldn't get my email either. I went through all my settings on the phone, knowing I hadn't changed anything, but just to be sure. I removed the Cingular settings, reset the phone, then reloaded the cab file from this site and still no go. I turned off and reset my cable modem, phone, and laptop. It still didn't work. I drove up the street to see if I could connect to the wifi at the local cafe, which I could without a problem. So, I knew the phone and the settings in the phone were fine.

Turned out I'd missed one link in the chain...my wireless router. I unplugged everything overnight. Plugged everything back in in the a.m. and it all worked just as it had before. I don't know why it happened, but I'll start there if it ever happens again!
