GMail Inbox not working

---

Problem status: fixed?

For some reason GMail Inbox doesn't work properly on my HTC Magic (Vodafone)
If I get new mail it shows up on gmail.com but it doesn't arrive in my Magic's Inbox, and doesnt give me any notifications.

The are the only two ways to get the new mail on my phone:

a) Use the "All Messages"-Label - the new messages show up there, but I get no notification whatsoever.
Also I have to get to the "All Messages"-Label every time I start GMail

or

b) Go to "Settings" -> "Labels" -> Set sync from "4 days" to "all" -> Go back and hit refresh (or wait for autosync).
This only works ONCE. If I want to receive mail again I have to repeat the whole procedure (go to settings, labels, etc.. you get the idea)


Phone Details:
HTC Magic (Vodafone, out-of-the-box-Rom)
Apps installed: Battery Widget, Toggle Settings, some Toggle Widgets (Ringer, Brightness, Bluetooth, Wifi), Advanced Task Manager Lite, Estongs File Explorer, StreamFurious, Any Cut, SMS Popup, Shazam, Gmote 2.0, some games
Tried the whole thing on a clean install - didn't work either (took me 1 hour to reinstall and reconfigure everything - yay...)

Possible solution:
Go to application settings and delete the cache for "Speicherplatz bei GMail" ("GMail Storage" in english?). This worked for me the first time.

On another phone I had to disable the automatic gmail sync, wait a day, then delete the cache and re-enable gmail sync.

Ok, it seems I am not the only one having this problem. Using google I found 3 other posts in forums descirbing the same problem with GMail on Android:

- New Mails don't appear in "Inbox" (therefore no notification)
- Mails can be shown when you click "All Mail" / "All Items", they even have the "Inbox"-Label there

Unfortunatly there was no solution posted to this problem yet anywhere.

Here are some pics so everyone really knows what I'm talking about. Interface is in german, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Some translations:

Posteingang = Inbox
Alle Nachrichten = All Messages
test mofo, WTF = Me being annoyed by the Inbox not working properly

anyone? .

Ok, I don't really know why but Gmail works now. All I did was switch the settings in Gmail and the Sync settings like a billion times and after a week it just worked.

Here are the settings I ended up with:
Auto Sync On
Sync Gmail Yes
Sync Inbox: All

I've got the very same problem on a Galaxy. I have reset the device several times, deleted the gmail, google apps and other storages. Everything I tried just fixed the issue for exactly one sync. The next message would again go to "Alle Nachrichten".

I think the problem started after I switched the google account on the device. Have you done something like that, too?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Felix

ok, i found a possible solution for this (see first post)
