Updated! Got Gmail Problems with iPhone OS 2.2?
I noticed 3 messages stuck in my Gmail outbox post-OS 2.2 upgrade. Just sitting there. Mocking me. “Sending” but never getting “sent”. Following a comment by Matt, I re-typed my password and voila, the intertubes they were cleared.
Not sure if this will work for everyone, either by itself or with a reset, but give it a try and let us know.
UPDATE: scottb helps out earnie in the comments with a Google link for unlocking display Captcha to overcome an invalid sender address problem. Our readers rock!
Any other trouble-shooting tips? Keep ‘em coming!

I had the problem of when trying to send An attachment it would say senders address is invalid. So following a link posted by another helpful fellow I unlocked my captcha and BOOM working like new. Other than that no issues as of now…I’m still wondering about the emoticons though. Are they only available on Japanese iPhones or can anyone use em?

the emoji are only available for japan

I had this problem PRE and POST 2.2 upgrade. Nothing seems to clear it. I will try retyping password again!

Actually saw this earlier today before the upgrade, and reentering the password fixed it. Think it was a gmail thing.

Lora, I am having the exact same issue. Anyone have an update on resolving it?

I had the same issue with gmail and I deleted the email account. I notice that the mail account is not really deleted as when I ssh’d into my iphone, the folder was still there. So I deleted the Mail folder in /Private/Var/Mobile/Library. I added a new gmail account and it worked again. I assumethe same will work for other mail accounts.

For those still having problems deleting AOL email, I found this resolution: “After updating to 2.2 I had the same problem deleting AOL e-mail from a basic account. Here’s my fix. Go to settings (on the iphone) >mail, contacts, calendars>accounts> then click on each account, scroll down to advanced settings>mailbox behaviors>deleted mailbox on my iPhone. The next screen shows that the trash icon is checked, but click on it again, and viola, dump e-mail again. Apparently upgrading to 2.2 leaves the icon checked when it really isn’t, so clicking it again confirms that you want your deleted e-mail to go to the trash. Cheers.”

My problem is that my gmail doesn’t load over 3G or EDGE (it just stays in that perpetual, spinning-wheel ‘trying to connect’ mode) but it works fine over Wifi.
Any suggestions

To delete AOL messages on your iPhone:
Log on to AOL. Create a new folder (I called mine “iPhone Trash”).
On your iPhone:
Settings –> Mail –> Go to your AOL email account –> Advanced –> Deleted Mailbox –> Switched the selected folder from “Trash folder on the iPhone” to the new trash folder you created on the server (in my case iPhone Trash).
The first time you go back to your AOL account and go to Mailboxes, you will see the folder you created for a second but then it will disappear. A Trash folder will then appear. It’s wierd.
This worked flawlessly for me.
