Getting Mail to Sync:


A. Use a New App Password:

Do you use an App Password? If so, try a new App Password. Sometimes, changes (i.e. updates) are made to the device, and then mail server syncing becomes an issue (which is what a new App Password it intended to fix). Go here for gmail: Sign in with App Passwords - Google Account Help - Google


B. Give it a Bit to Sync:

You need to have a connection to Google's eMail server for all of this to download. It will take some time, if you have thousands to download.
