How can I set up gmail so that it will do exact actions on the server? My gmail on my iPhone doesn't 'sync' with my gmail account.
...exact actions on the server?
IMAP should do this. http://faq.domainmonster.com/email/mobile-email/iphone-IMAP-setup/
That doesn't work I keep getting an error message.
I have a question about this! I sometimes get push gmail as pop, but most of the time is pretty much manual fetch! Can someone chime in on this?!

Forget IMAP.... use Exchange (google Gmail Exchange Setup iPhone).
I tried Exchange and it's not getting all the email from server. It has my labels however there's nothing in the labels.
the mail server should be imap.gmail.com for incoming and outgoing should be smtp.gmail.com - This is using imap.
both use SSL
based on your screenshot the incoming is mail.google.com so if trying to setup exchange then it should be m.google.com

This may just be coincidence - POP and IMAP do not offer any type of "PUSH" service, especially, with the native mail app. this might be shear coincidence that an email is received at exactly your "fetch" time.
As much as I hate the native gmail app, that is the only TRUE method of receiving PUSH email via gmail on your iphone.
When you tried Exchange, what did you set your Mail -> Show settings to?
Also, inside the Mail -> Account Settings, how far back did you set it to Sync? I don't remember the default here but it may be as short as a week.
Check those two settings...good luck!
Ok if I set longer I should be able to get all the mail and contents in the labels?
