iPhone won't stop importing old gmail messages

[notsam]

Sorry if this has already been answered, but just activated my iPhone and got my gmail on, but every time i delete an email it brings up an older one as if it were new, so i have endless "new" emails. Any ideas on how to stop having old emails going on to the phone?

I am sure that has been discussed somewhere, but I had the same thing happen. However, it only happened once....after all the old messages were cycled through it didn't do it again.
