hey there MacRumors forums, I'm currently in a bit of a pickle. I tried to access my mail this morning via the Mail application on my iPhone, and a message popped up saying "cannot access gmail due to incorrect password" (it was something along those lines). So following that, I accessed my email via safari just to check if something had gone wrong, which it hadn't. I was still able to log into my email with the same password. I checked my gmail settings to make sure imap was enabled (which it still was), so I deleted the account from my phone and tried to set it up again. Everytime I try and set up the email through settings>mail, contacts, calendars and add my gmail account, this is the message I get "Cannot Get Mail. The user name or password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect".

This can't be the case as it's the same password that works when signing in through safari. Can any of you help me out at all? I've been to the google mail help page, and rummaged around in the forums, and had no luck, so here is my last resort...

Any help would be most appreciated indeed!

Thanks guys/girls!
