Interesting. I set mine for 1 hour and didn't check to confirm it is actually updating that often. Default was every 15 minutes.
Do you have other email accounts set for different times?
UPDATE: Checked manual synch on Hotmail by emailing myself from Pre Gmail account. Email to Hotmail showed right up but when I tried to refresh I got something I've never seen before, an error message shown with a yellow triangle that read something like "Could not connect, next synch 30 minutes" this despite having Hotmail set to synch manually only and despite the fact that I had no problem logging into my Hotmail account from the PC at the same time.
