My iPhone had a dying battery, so the iPhone was replaced under warranty.

Then I restored the iPhone setting from backup, and all seemed to work ok.

Except for email, wasn’t getting any.

I checked the email settings, and the iPhone verified they were correct, and I could connect to the Google Mail servers:

After much Googling, I worked out what was going wrong.

• The “Exchange” email account setting uses Google Sync.
• Google Sync was discontinued as a “free” feature on 30th January 2013.
  ”Starting January 30, 2013, consumers won’t be able to set up new devices using Google Sync.”
• “new devices”, includes my replacement iPhone.

There are alternatives; what I did was on my iPhone was:

• Created new Gmail accounts to replace the Exchange account on my iPhone.
       
• Setup CardDAV.

It works.  But I wasn’t happy with having to do it Google.
