Google mail is syncing but app tells me its not.

[thepolicecall911fordetails]

I'm confused. The app has an error message that says it cant sync mail when it can. Is it a bug?

Yeah I noticed that too. My mail is coming through on my 3 gmail accounts but in settings>email+accounts it says that they aren't up to date. No idea what is going on there. Sometimes my Microsoft account will update and other times it would say not up to date too.

Same for my two Gmail accounts. It's rather annoying.

Under email + accounts my gmail account is greyed out and says its syncing and hasn't changed all day...

Before the update I had this account turned off (it's my wife's) so its not even listed in the app list.

I tried to add the account again but it knew I already had it in the list.

I'm out of options, any suggestions?

Soft reset should fix it.

I can confirm disabling calendar sync fixed the issue...thanks!

So it's the calendar that is not syncing?

Confirming mehsdomi's tip.
After setting up my calendar G-Mail quit syncing.
Disabling the calendar sync option enabled G-Mail again.

Glad it worked for you too

Solved by: go to google account -> Advanced settings -> Calendar server (CalDAV) -> set it to "www.google.com"

Works for me.

​This worked for me. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip!

Note: it may seem obvious, but it took me a minute to realize that calendar syncing must be enabled for the "Calendar server (CalDAV)" setting to be configurable. So long as calendar syncing is not ticked, the CalDAV box remains greyed out.

this was working fine a few days ago. google must be screwing with their settings for calendar access. the last dev note about this from last month (https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/caldav/v2/guide#new_endpoint) says that the Google server address is deprecated and to use at your own risk so this temp fix posted here might not be working soon. thx for the info though. it got my calendar working again on the phone
