I have a Bold 9900 which from day one had 7.1.0.190 installed on it. Despite having the other Gmail options like Apply Labels, Archive etc. there was no sign of Add Star.
When I upgraded to 7.1.0.205 the option appeared but after a couple of weeks it literally disappeared before my eyes ie. I went in to the menu to use it and saw it vanish, never to be seen again.
On upgrading to 7.1.0.267 I was hoping it would return, but no such luck.
I've tried everything I can think off including deleting and re-sending service books, deleting and re-creating accounts but nothing works. Does anyone have any idea as to what the problem is and how I can get the Add Star option back because I find it pretty useful to say the least.
In case anyone else has the same problem as well as having IMAP enabled you also have to have the 'Show in IMAP' box ticked for the 'Starred' system label in Gmail settings.
So, Gmail settings updated and one quick battery pull later everything's now working.
