Android Central Question

I have 2 gmail accounts on my ‘phone and 1 of them stopped syncing and there was a constant message. “Getting your messages.” I left it running for ages and there was no progress. I've tried almost everything possible but nothing worked. Forcing the app to stop did nothing. Uninstalling the Gmail app and reinstalling it did not either. Neither did removing the affected account and re-adding it do anything.

When I compared the settings on all 2 of my email accounts I found that the problem was from the ‘Days of emails to sync.’ When I tried to set it to 30 days and even 1 day it wouldn’t save it and kept reverting to sync 999 days!
It always reverted back to 999 days whenever I tried to reset it. That is what I think was the reason that emails wouldn’t load.
