Google Error 80072F30

So I'm loving the Icon but this popped up a couple hours ago.

I googled and found issues with the same code but those were over a year ago and I can't seem to fix it.

Is it temporary? I downloaded MetroMail but would prefer to use the default WP client for Google if there is someway to fix this.

Any suggestions?

Use Google daily with WP with no issues. I know that's not what you want to hear but could be specific to your account/phone/Verizon, or just a temporary glitch.

This article seems pretty detailed in helping diagnose...

Thanks for the reply.

It ended up just fixing itself.

I'm not sure if you've been told this or not... You probably have if you've mentioned on these boards that you're using Gmail. But you should consider switching to outlook and saving yourself a lot of hassle in the future. Google goes out of their way to ensure that their services don't play nice with WP8. This won't be the last time you'll bump into errors. I used to use Gmail, Google Calendar, Gchat, Google Docs, the whole package. I switched to Outlook, Outlook calendar, text/Skype, and Skydrive (now OneDrive.) and it's a much cleaner experience.

An easy fix is just to have your Gmail forwarded to an Outlook account. It's that easy. But you do what you'd like to do.

My Gmail usually
syncs flawlessly but I'll get that same error(today actually) and for me its caused by the phone attempting to sync while I have poor signal strength. Resyncing manually puts things back on track.

If you're enjoying your Windows Phone I also suggest switching to Outlook. The link below is an easy how to that literally moved every single email and folder into their own on Outlook and every single calendar entry into my outlook calendar. I wouldn't let the program move your contacts though. With that I'd manually export your gmail contacts to a .csv file and then import them into outlook. If you don't it won't allow you to edit them.

Have had the Icon for a week or so and have three mail accounts. Phone works fine with outlook and with earthlink pop3 but it intermittently delivers the 80072F30 error when trying to update my web site based pop3 or IMAP email. Set for updated each 15 minutes but often it does not update for hours and when manually update is used it either takes forever or the error message appears. Very frustrating. Have deleted and reinstalled several times, used the soft reset and with no solution. Seems like a windows software problem. Solution?
