Mail (on MBP, not iPhone 4) not receiving emails from Gmail

[SimonBook]

Hi!

For the past four days I haven't been receiving any emails from my Gmail account in Mail on my MBP. I am however receiving them on my iPhone 4 and I am getting emails from another account in Mail on my MBP.

On the left-hand side, where the mailboxes are listed, it's permanently displaying the spinning wheel next to Gmail. I am running the latest version of Mail, 4.3, which came with the latest OSX update. I haven't activated the Priority Inbox Google introduced to Gmail.

Is anybody else experiencing this problem? Any help is appreciated.

Same here. Last night this started to include my MobileMe account as well....

It seems that we aren't the only people who experiencing this:

We had this once. It's a caching issue on your Mac. In your ~/Library/Mail folder (where your mailboxes are kept) there's a folder that will contain one single massive file. Apologies but I can't remember what its name is, but it will of course have an up to date timestamp, and I seem to recall that the folder it is located in has a very relevant name.

Make sure you shut down mail before moving the file to the trash, then when you restart mail all should be well again.

Would it possible be this one you are talking about? And do i have to download all the mails I have? (+18000!)

Not sure what you're linking to there, but it doesn't require trashing the entire mail folder, just the contents of one sub-folder.

And I've found the link. Post 2.

I didn't do anything, but it's working again. I experienced the problem for about a week, but for the past two days it's been working just fine.
