GMail Push to iPhone Only Showing Last 28 Days
I have wondered about this for a little bit... it started when messages from my InBox on my iPhone disappeared, but they were in my GMail web client. Very odd. I filed a few away, and they didn't show up on my iPhone. Odd. So I decided to do a little Googling... turns out, there's a problem with GMail Push.
This thread on the Google Mobile site explains that it's a bug in their system and they are working on it. Unfortunately, I want the Push email, and I'd like to use GMail as it seems to be the only really reliable push email, but now it seems that I can only see an email for 28 days. That's not so great.
The thread was started in Sept 2009, so maybe they'll get around to fixing it. On the downside, it looks like the primary Google employee that was answering questions on this is now not responding to questions. That's not a good sight at all.
Not a good place to be...
UPDATE: Later today, on the way home on the train, I noticed that I was getting the old emails! Maybe the messing with the date mattered, or maybe Google fixed it yesterday. I'll have to keep an eye on it to see if it stays fixed.
