Email suddenly not working -- drops password

Droid 3 Email (gmail) suddenly stops working - Android Forums

. . .except I have a Droid RAZR (Verizon).

I had email working fine, then suddenly, it stops working. Won't work no matter how I 'liberalize' the settings to let it use 3G, download attachments, etc.

It has one other weird property. It seems to drop my password. When I look at the settings, the password field is empty.

The advise in the other thread was to drop email and then just do gmail. But, what happens to my contacts synch if I do that? My contacts are a little out of synch right now. Could that be related? I was updating them in the last 24 hours.
 
It appears to be working again. I deleted the cache storage and then added it back. Not sure if I needed to do that.

It appears to be related in some weird way to a week WiFi connection here at work. At home, with my "good" WiFi, it seems to function normally without the weird password drop problem.
