Has anyone had this issue?
I have gmail setup using exchange on my iPhone 4 and normally it works fine. Starting about a week ago I noticed when I went to check a previous email it told me my password was incorrect and wouldn't let me log in to retrieve mail. I tried everything to get it working but the only thing that worked was deleting the exchange account and recreating it. Now a week later I am gettng the same thing. I can log in to gmail using the web interface but nothing I do will let me in with my exchange account on my phone. The message says "cannot get mail. The username or password is incorrect." One other thing I should add is that I recently configured my gmail account to retrieve a few of my POP accounts from AT&T.
Anyone else experience this and have a solution?

Try changing your password and re-entering it on the iPhone.

Very strange, I had tried everything I could think of without deleting the exchange account this time (hard reset, turn mail off, etc.). So I decided now would be a good time to do a restore. I plugged it in to do a backup and in the mean time thought I'd try @Warbrain suggestion of changing the password but before getting to the point of changing the password the backup had finished. Now it's working! What in the backup/sync process would reset that profile that a hard reset wouldn't do?

Have you:
Synced to iTunes?
Hard reset the iPhone?
Deleted the local account (account on iPhone)?

Are you running imap and exchange for the same Google account?
