Well, I can't quite make sense of it, but now I can connect. I contacted google this morning and when I got home it still did not work. I changed back to using gmail.com as the server and made my username start with a capital letter.
Now it works with uppercase or lowercase first letter so my guess is that google fixed something on my account.
