If you are receiving several prompts to enter your username and
password for POP access, please follow the steps below to resolve the
problem:
1. Disable all POP clients you're using to read Gmail messages. (If you
use one at work and one at home, please disable both.)
2. From the computer on which your POP logins are failing, visit
http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
3. Enter your Gmail username and password, and the letters in the
distorted picture.
4. Once you have successfully logged in, restart your mail client and
try to download your mail.
This should remove the captcha blocking your POP client.
also check the thunderbird password storage and see what it shows also
you must used your full email address.

I followed those instructions on my Axim, using Opera as my browser, and gmail began working again with my old settings.
Hooray!
Hope this helps someone else.
