GMail issue with iPhone built-in Mail app fixed

Spent some time testing different GMail settings, even installed this App called "Google Authenticator" to scan a QR Code (which is quite cool) - but this doesn't help at all. In the end it's this thing called "Application Specific Password" that fixed the problem.

Ok, if you provided your mobile number to GMail, you will have this security function called "2-step verification" enabled. Let me know if you got better idea, but so far the only way I can get GMail working with the iPhone built-in Mail app is by "Application Specific Password".

Any way, one annoying issue resolved... Move on to the next one...
