Android "email" app - connection problems to Gmail

---

This problem seems to have been around for 2 years now, but I haven't found any resolution online.

Using the "email" app on my Motorola Photon (the one with a @ inside an envelope)...I constantly get a "connection error". This is configured for gmail.

Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. It seems to be a problem regardless of whether I'm on wifi or 3G. I have Sprint, if that matters.

I don't know what's going on. The email app is configured to use iMap push.

Should I set it for pop email server instead, and just tell it to poll the server every hour?

Thanks.

I''ve had a similar issue with my boyfriend's phone. All I did was uninstall all the updates for the app, reset the phone, and then redownload the updates for the app. Seems to keep it working at least for a while.
