Well you have to have edge or WifI access to check, maybe you were in an area of no connectivity. Also, it checks when you open mail so the last time checked should update then too. Is it not updating the last time checked status?

ya, if you have no service it wont update at all

first, are you sure you actually got any mail during this time when you were waiting? I have noticed it sometimes does not run the updating dialogue unless it is actually getting new mail.

second, i have been really pleased with how quickly gmail comes to me both on edge and wifi. I have seen mail arrive on my MBP which check every minute and heard my iPhone ding about 2 minutes later. This happens close to 80% of the tim for me the remaining 20% I would say worst case it comes in every 5-9 minutes.

gmail's stupid duplication of messages sent on the other hand makes me wish I had your problem.
