Default Gmail sync problem?

I have not been receiving my email notifications for the last few days. Only when I refresh or go into settings and hit "sync now" do I get the notification of a new email in my gmail account. I tried clearing data, force stop, and even uninstalling updates (rolling back to 2.3.2 from 2.4.3.1) and still no go!

Anyone else have this issue? Got a fix for me?

EDIT:
I have see this issue in other forums, but I haven't found a fix. Just problems.

do you have autosync turned on for your google account?

settings --> accounts and sync. in here make sure that google is set to autosync, otherwise, you will have to manually refresh in order to get your gmail in.

I've kept my notification disabled for gmail. I just now enabled it and tested and it worked fine. I'll leave it on for a bit and see if that changes.

OK, so I setup the "Mail" app on the phone to sync to my Gmail account, which worked. But the Gmail app still wouldn't sync. Then after a few hours I erased the "Mail" account/sync since it didn't fix the Gmail problem and I really dislike the "Mail" app. A few hours after that I got 6 text messages from "VZWNMN" in rapid succession that were as follows:
"5"
"66"
"5"
"7"
"1"
"1"

And now my Gmail is syncing! Weird, huh?

Yeah, I really dislike the mail app and it does have this thing about trying to set up sms notifications that annoys me. Which is why I don't use it.

In any case, I left gmail notifications on and haven't had a problem with it. Maybe something just went wonky for a bit. I was gonna try suggesting disabling notifications, save it, exit app, then re-enable it, then test, but now it seems to be okay
