IPhone :: Exchange And Gmail, Whats The Password They Ask For
May 10, 2012
I have been trying for the last 48 hours to try to set up the exchange and gmail setup on my Iphone 4s , i have upgraded to the latest software, I have followed many sites and videos, everything goes well except for that password
My exchange for gmail was working fine. Email, contacts and calendar. Then I was asked for the password because a pop up said it was incorrect. No matter how many times I enter the correct password, it stills says incorrect. I have tried the following
1. Delete and reinstall all email accounts several times. When I re-create the gmail exchange everything verifies and a minute later, I gt the pop up.
2. Delete iCloud account
3. Change password and try again
4. Add gmail account under gmail and that works fine but I'm still not getting my contacts.
5. Unlock captcha. When I follow the link I get a screen saying my identity needs to be verified and them I click okay and the screen says I have 10 minutes to use password on device. I never get he option to enter the scrambled code on my PC or phone Tried google double verification. None of these have worked despite multiple attempts. I have recently switched to google chrome and am using it under my PC laptop and iMac.
Adding 2 Exchange accounts after upgrading to 4.0.Get through the process of adding Gmail as exchange, no errors.Go to fetch mail / send mail etc. and it hangs saying "cannot connect to server".Is there some new way of adding gmail via exchange on 4.0?
I upgraded to iOS 5.1, and shortly after, my connection to the gmail Exchange server stopped working, saying: Cannog Get Mail The connection to the server failed. I've tried deleting and re-adding the account, changing my password, and completly restoring my phone, but I still get that message when I try to check my mail. I can, however, set it up as a regular gmail account, and that works just fine. Furthermore, my calendar works when I set up the Exchange account, it's only the mail that doesn't. I can also see all of my gmail labels if I look in my mailboxes, but I can't receive data. What might be preventing my Exchange account from checking my mail?
I decided to try Gmail set up as an exchange account (it was really buggy before) seems to be working fine now. But I have one question; When I delete messages do they get archived or do they get sent to trash? there's no option to specify this in settings as there is with the IMAP setup.
Can someone explain to me the advantages of setting up Gmail as an Exchange account on the iPhone 4?I've been searching all over and all I've found is that this setup will allow push emails. Are there any other advantages/disadvantages?I currently have Gmail setup through the default iPhone Gmail setup and my work email as Exchange.
I have an iPhone 4 and I have three email accounts setup.Corporate ExchangeCloudGmail
The top two work with no problem but when I try to send an email with my gmail account, I receive the following:
"The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.gmail.com" failed. Additional outgoing mail servers can be configured in settings > mail, contacts, calendars.
I have checked and rechecked and the settings are correct. I have deleted the account and set it up with the "other" option using Google's instructions. I have checked the SSL port numbers, they are correct and I have imap and POP enabled in my gmail account, and it still will not work. This did work at one time, and now it's not. Any thoughts?
I am using Microsoft Exchange for the PUSH notification because Gmail Account only fetches data. I want to use PUSH because I want to receive real time email messages. I also want to add my middle name in the outgoing name.
I have my Gmail account set up on my iPhone as Exchange, to get push email. The issue I am having:In my Gmail account settings, I have it set to send mail using only my initials, so that when I send a message to someone they will only see (A J) for example. When sending emails from my browser in gmail, this works fine. If I go to my iPhone, and send a response to an email thread, it will send from my full name. Any emails that I send from my iPhone automatically show my full name. Is there some type of account setting for this? I don't want it to use my full name when I send email from the phone. I have looked everywhere and don't see any setting for this. I have also called Apple support and they have no idea.
iPhone Backup - Does it back up 3rd party(Exchange, gMail, etc) mail settings and Passwords?So when I go to transfer/restore my backup to a new phone, will the exchange account settings, like server, user name and password be restored to the new iPhone?
I have iphone with 5.1 and latest version of itunes and use a gmail account. I was using gmail directly to sync mail and calendar but this didn't (or at least I could find a way to) sync my gmail contacts to my phone contacts so i decided to use Exchange. I deleted my gmail account from my phone and added the Exchange account, following all the instructions on many websites like this one [url]. I selected 'ON' for mail, contacts and calendars. When I refresh contacts and calendar on iphone nothing happens. When I go in mail and refresh that it comes up with 'Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed.'. I deleted the account and reset up in case i messed anything up but it's still not working.
I was trying to set up my wife's school Exchange email on her 3GS and when done it keep asking for a password. We entered the correct one but it keeps saying wrong password even though it's right.Any ideas?
i replaced my iphone 4s with a new iphone 4s and it works fine except i cannot get access to email because it keeps asking for my exchange password and i dont know what it is. i only have perosanal email.
I have just got new BB torch.I have tried to add my work email account however when I go into settings > email accounts.I can only add BES account. The company I work for does not have a BES server. though other people have successfully added their outlook accounts.Some said this maybe a restriction on the sim card. should I ring.The phone was not bought on contract. Just went in to a shop and bought it.
I've just purchased an S6 G920F from Kogan. I'm coming from a GPE HTC One M8. I'm currently trying to get it setup (just on wifi, no SIM inserted yet). I really want to use GMail app for mail because don't like the built-in one, and like how GMail syncs calendars and contacts from outlook.com and Exchange servers - and I've been using it no problem for a while now.
Problem is - on the S6 when I go to add an account, I don't actually have an option for Exchange - just POP and IMAP. It seems that GMail was baked in to the ROM as I'm unable to remove it.
Got a new Lumia 950 about 10 days ago. Set up my 2 email accounts (Gmail, Exchange) and, initially, they both worked correctly. I was receiving messages and could reply.
Starting two days ago, out of the blue, I can no longer send messages. I am still receiving messages on both accounts. But, attempts to reply (or send a new message) result in a red "x" showing up in my inbox (next to my sent message). When I click on the message that did not send, it says "There was an error sending your message."
I just tried deleting both email accounts and reconnecting them. No luck.
My Gmail account won't work unless I am in a Wi-fi area, and even then only sometimes. It tells me my password is incorrect even when I know it is not.
I had setup and Active Exchange account for my Gmail (this way I could also sync my mail, calendar, and todo lists easily). Everything was working smoothly, until I installed the Mircrosoft Apps update yesterday. Now I can no longer get this to work. It says my Inbox is empty and never finds any mail. It did work yesterday after I deleted the mail account re setup the active exchange account. But then last night I turned my phone off and this morning when I had turned it on, the account email inbox was all blank/empty. The Calendar was still synced though.Now I am trying to re setup the account, and its not working at all.(Nokia E7 Belle phone)
When I click the mail icon to take me to my gmail account it says "the user name or password for gmail.com is incorrect". I know for a fact that the username and password are both correct because I can still access my gmail account through my computer. I have deleted the account and have tried reading the account but it will not let me.
Only one of my 3 gmail accounts on my phone is acting up from time to time, saying incorrect username and/or password. I know this is false because I simply wait and the problem goes away. Only this time, it's been 24 hours now and it still thinks its the wrong username and/or password. In the meantime, I'm able to use that username and password on my laptop with no problems. I've tried deleting the account on my phone and adding it again, but it still thinks incorrect username and/or password.
When I try to open my Gmail on my iPhone 4, I get an error message that says Cannot Get Mail - The user name or password for "My Gmail" is incorrect. But they aren't. I have deleted the account and added it back again numerous times. This is what the support person I talked to told me to do. Sometimes I can get into my email and then all of a sudden I can't.
I have multiple mailboxes. I have a yahoo and a Gmail. When I click on my gmail account it comes up saying it does not recognize my username or my password and yet it has my correct password and username. I have deleted the account and created it again to get the same messages on my iphone.
