Gmail is a great service for sending emails, but it can happen that the email service doesn’t run smoothly. For example, it sometimes happens that emails are no longer properly synchronized within the Gmail app. In such a case, the best thing to do is to reset your Gmail account.
Problems that occur when Gmail synchronization does not work properly include, for example, that you can no longer send or receive emails, emails get stuck while sending, emails cannot be opened, or that the Gmail app is very slow. You can also receive a notification that the account is not synchronized.
If you have such Gmail sync problems on your Android phone or iPhone, you probably need to delete your Google account and reset Gmail. However, it’s a good idea to check if you have enough storage space first and update the Gmail app itself to see if that fixes the problem. Then restart your Android smartphone or iPhone.
Delete Google account
On your Android smartphone or iPhone, go to within the Gmail app Settings / Accounts / Google / Google account and press your account. You will then see an overview of all data from Google that is synchronized with your Android device. Press the menu button at the top right and select remove.
Then the data of your Gmail account in the app should be erased so that you don’t leave anything behind that could cause problems.
Reset Gmail
On your Android smartphone, go to Settings / Apps / All apps / Gmail and press the button at the top of the list Stop now and then on Switch off. Then Gmail app will be restored to factory settings.
On an iPhone, go to the Settings app General, iPhone storage then tap Gmail. Here you will find the option Delete app. Then download the app again.
Open the Gmail app and add your Google account again. Gmail will then start syncing your emails all over again.
