Another possible fix, I looked at the manual settings vs the auto settings and compaired them against the Gmail webpage instructions for WM6. Turns out, this step:

15. Make sure that the Require SSL box is checked for both incoming and outgoing emails.

was NOT done by the auto configuration when I setup the account. Everything else was as the Google instructions stated except those checkmarks. I have manually send/received serveral time since then and it worked as expected each time. Can anybody else check these settings and see if yours are not checked?
