trying to use the sync option with Versamail 2.7 and gmail

I get this error (bolded) when I try to sync with gmail ( removed my email name to prevent SPAM, it does display properly in the actual log):

VERSAMAIL INFO -- Loaded 0 actions entered while disconnected. VERSAMAIL INFO -- Loaded 6 messages from the handheld of which 0 of them were associated with an unknown account. VERSAMAIL INFO -- ***** Begin synchronization specific to active account 'gmail'. ***** VERSAMAIL INFO -- Server logon failed for user '@gmail.com' VERSAMAIL INFO -- 0 messages sent from the Outbox. VERSAMAIL INFO -- ***** Finish synchronization specific to active account 'gmail'. ***** VERSAMAIL INFO -- ***** Begin synchronization specific to active account 'mailfredlet'. ***** VERSAMAIL INFO -- Received 0 messages from host, syncing for 4 days: 0 Rejected by filters. 0 Rejected by global configuration days to sync. 0 Already existed on the handheld. 0 are new and will be added. - Could not send the following message to the e-mail application: - A protocol send error has occured. VERSAMAIL INFO -- 0 messages sent from the Outbox. VERSAMAIL INFO -- Deleted 0 messages from the Inbox on the handheld because there was no match for it on the host, rejected 0 messages due to filters, and added 0 new messages to the handheld. VERSAMAIL INFO -- ***** Finish synchronization specific to active account

anyone else work through this issue? I've seen several people run into this on the forums, but no reolution is posted for synching (I don't want to pay the wireless fees, I haven't won the lotto yet.)
