Limits to password length and characters?

Hello,

since one of my accounts got hacked a few days ago I am ramping up my passwords for all my accounts. So I went ahead and changed my google mail password to a 20 character one with special chars and numbers. I put this into Safari 4 and in Entourage 2008 both logging in with my new password without a glitch. But the iPhone is yelling at me "the connection to imap.gmail.com has failed". I had a similar problem with yahoo mail earlier on where after I put in my new password the iPhone told me that the log in failed. Is this a limitation of the iPhone OS? Because it worked fine with my shorter and not as secure password..
