Yes, mine is doing the same thing. I found the settings in email for frequency to get new messages. That's good at 15 minutes.
In the main Settings menu, Email, it says "Sync disabled" next to both my email accounts.
I found that this is because I have Sync turned off in the notification menu toggle. (on purpose)
Here's the thing, if i turn Sync on, then Google app starts syncing all my stuff, which I don't want happenning except when I'm at home on wifi.
My setup worked fine before the OS was updated to JB. Email came in as I received it with Sync toggle turned off. I had a task to turn on sync every morning at 6:00, while docked and on wifi. That task only works with the sync toggle. I can't make it turn all the Google sync settings on/off. There are 10 of them!
Anyone know how to make email work with Sync off?
TIA
