My iPhone's Mail app has randomly decided it won't sync with Gmail anymore (messages I've deleted on the phone still show up in my inbox online).
Is this happening to anyone else, and do we know whose end the problem is on?
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Are you using IMAP or POP?

I'm not sure, actually. Where would I find that setting?
[eta: Okay, Gmail says that it's using IMAP, and that deleting messages on the iPhone should move them into the Trash online. Which used to be the case but hasn't been working for the past couple of days.]

OK, that's weird. If you were using POP, I'd have a suggestion, but with IMAP I got nothin'. The whole point of IMAP is that it's supposed to stay synched.
Oh wait -- try this (I'm assuming your iPhone works the same as my iPod Touch):
On the iPhone, go into the mail settings and select the advanced options under your account. In the top "Mailbox Behaviors" section, select Deleted Mailbox and make sure the Trash folder on the server is selected. I don't have access here at work so I can't walk through it as thoroughly as I'd like, but that's the gist of it.

It is.
I'm guessing this is a Gmail issue, since I haven't changed any settings on the phone recently.

Hey. New board.
Nobody but me lusts for the G1?
To be fair, I lust for the G1 and Pre about equally, but am already on T-Mobile and have no interest in switching, so it wins. For now.
I have no interest in the iPhone for reasons I can't even understand in my own head.
