How to change Gmail sync frequency in ICS? I am using a stock Nexus S that has been upgraded to ICS 4.0.3. I have noticed that Gmail syncs far less frequently since the upgrade - at the moment it appears to be syncing approximately every 8 hours.

I cannot seem to find the menu screen that allows me to configure the frequency of the the sync.

Settings &gt; Accounts &amp; Sync gives me access to switch on or off syncing and would seem to be the logical place for this functionality to live, but I cannot see anything that lets me control frequency.

Similarly there appears to be no settings around this within the Gmail app itself.

Am I being blind or is this functionality no longer available?
If you use the Gmail app the mail is pushed instead of synced and therefore you cannot find the sync frequency setup.

However, if you set up your Gmail account in the Android Email app, where you can have your non Gmail accounts (POP3/IMAP/Exchange), the mail is synced and you can set the frequency in the Account settings, inside the Email app.
