GMAIL will not send...

[Joeybear23]

I just thought I would put this out there for anyone who might be experiencing the same problem I was on my Captivate.

After many flashes, restores with Titanium Backup, updates, etc, I found myself unable to send email from the Gmail app. I could read email and download attachments just fine, but whenever I hit the send button, they just hung there. Reboots did nothing... in fact I didn't really notice it until I went to the "view labels" and noticed that there were a ton of messages in my Outbox.

Anyway, there is a quick fix for this:

- Go to: Settings > Applications > Manage Applications

- Then open Menu and select Filter

- Choose "All" (which means Show All, not Filter All)

- Now, find the Gmail app and select it.

- Click the "Clear Cache" button.

After doing this, everything in my Outbox finally sent and everything was right and good in the world again.

hope this helps...

I've had this before on my N1. It is not isolated to the Captivate. Clearing the Cache worked great in my case too.

had the exact same behavior on my evo- gmail stuck on sending and this did clear it right up - definitely one of those "why didn't I think of that" moments -and so much grateful to have found this
