The mail client continuously prompt you for username and password for your gmail account or your domain which is hosted at Google.

1. Close/stop your email client.
   
2. Open the url http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
   
3. Enter your Gmail username and password, and the letters in the captcha image.
4. Once you have successfully logged in, Start your mail client.
