    So, I got my blackberry curve 8330 and set up my gmail account on it using the e-mail set up, and it worked just fine. Started recieving, sending, everything perfect and happy. This continued for about a week. Then, it just stopped working. When I went back into e-mail set up, it said that the e-mail couldn't be validated. Now, hadn't changed anything anywhere between the time it started working and stopped working. It's been this way for about a week now.

    I've already tried pulling the battery, checked that my POP and IMAP options were enabled, deleted the e-mail in the setup and tried to re-install it, and nothing has worked so far. Any other suggestions? Thanks for the help, I'm getting quite desperate!

    Have you tried logging into your gmail account recently on the computer?

    I ask this because about one or two weeks ago gmail started forcing more strict passwords. I've been using gmail since beta and I tried to log in and it wouldn't let me. I then noticed it said my current password wasn't strong enough (6 letters) they just recently started forcing 8 letter passwords. So I had to change my password before I could successfully log in again.

    Doesn't mean this is your problem, just the only thing I could really think of.

    Wow, thanks! That completely fixed it! It's strange, because I never got a notification from gmail about it, was still able to log into my inbox on computer, everything, but then suddenly when i changed my password to a longer one it would accept it on my BB. Thank you!
