Google Apps Mail (Hosted Gmail) Authentication error
- I have a Blackberry Curve with BlackBerry System Software version 4.3 for the 8300 series. The company I work for uses Google Apps hosted Gmail for corporate e-mail so instead of using BlackBerry Messenger, I am using Mail By Google version 1.5.1 that was downloaded at m.google.com/a/ (the Blue Icon version)
For the first two days the Mail by Google software worked perfectly. Then I started getting the following message at random:
Username and password do not match. You provided ()
After several attempts sometimes it will let me login and other times it returns the same message. For instance I am in Mail By Google and begin to compose a message. When I press send it kicks me back to that screen. Some days it works fine.
Another person at work who also got a Blackberry is having the same problems. We are located in different areas and it doesn�t seem to make a difference where the device is physically for the error to occur.
Reading other post online a few people recommended contacting RIM via our service provider (CellularSouth in this case). I tried that yesterday and after talking with a rep at Research in Motion he said it was a Google issue and that there was no table for them to add the address to as the post had suggested.
So now I am stuck. At random I get kicked out of the Mail by Google with the error message mentioned above. Eventually I can log back in but I am not sure what I can to do resolve the problem. Is it a BlackBerry or Google issue?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

When I compose or reply to a message it comes up "Sending..." and after about 1 minute it kicks me out to the login screen with the message "Username and password do not match. You provided () [OK]". I login again and it says "We have saved the message you were composing before the application unexpectedly quit. [OK]" It then takes me back to the message.
It almost acts like the ports or protocol used for accessing Google's outgoing mail is blocked. Is there a port sniffer for the Blackberry?

Has any one else found a solution?
