Same issue! Can't get past the "Grant Access" because it just takes me to the 
text messaging app. I need to back up my texts! Like yesterday!

Where will I find an answer to this problem? I've got the exact same issue as 
reporter. Using LG Optimus T LG-509.

Had the same problem, it worked on my other phone but not this one.  Here is 
what I did to solve it.  
1) Make sure IMAP is enabled on your gmail account.
2) Go into advanced settings, and click Authentication.  Chose plain text. 
3) Go to the "Your IMAP account/e-mail address" and enter your info.  I did NOT 
put the @gmail.com on my account name
4) Go to the "Password" and enter your g-mail password

That worked for me.  Your results may vary.

I forgot to mention, click on IMAP server settings in advanced settings.

unfortunately, this has not worked for me.  i just got a new LG Optimus S to 
replace my last one.  i did everything stated here, but continually get 
"temporary gmail IMAP error, try again later".

any ideas of what to check?
