IPhone :: Why Does 4s Say Mail Account Password Not In Settings When It Is
Jun 22, 2012
My iPhone 4s randomly says "the ID or password for ______ mail account is incorrect. Cannot get mail." my ID and password were NOT changed and are working fine on my desktop and iPad. This has happened for a mail account at AT&T before and now today for a gmail account. Reentering the ID and password in settings doesn't solve the problem. Still can't get mail.
All of a sudden, my Alias mail account name is telling me that the password or account name is incorrect.So I go into SETTINGS as the button appears for it, and I hit it check all the settings and the settings are fine, nothing has changed. I have not had this problem in over 5 years! Is this a symptom of iCloud going full, taking over MobileMe? I cancelled my MM account 3 months back and have not had any problems. Why has this problems suddenly started appearing? I was looking at the mail in the ALIAS account from the alias account. Now I am looking at it through my main account, which is also reacting slowly due to this problem.
Have a Mac lap top, desk top, and ipad. Just got and iphone, but cannot get my mail account started on that, because for the love of all things beautiful and simple, cannot remember my email account password.
Would one of you tech savvy persons be able to direct me on how to retrieve or change my mail account password (using other) its a .mac email address.
I have just got my iPhone configured to receive emails from the same accounts that I receive emails from on my MacBookPro. When looking at Settings/Mail Accounts on my iPhone there is an option to Fetch New Data and further option to Push On or Push Off? What Push and Fetch are all about.
Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3), iPad 2, iPhone 4S
IPhone 4 running 4.0.1. Happened on 4.0 as well. This is the second time this has happened. Look at the center email...anything look funny? It won't let me delete and eventually changes to a date in the year 2000 then randomly will go away. It just shows up on it's own. Email setup with default gmail account settings.
I received an e-mail to update one of my e-mail passwords. After going into "setup" , then "e-mail" the screen pops back to the main "setup" screen. When I attempt to exit the screen freezes and then I have to remove battery to reboot.
I have recently had to change my e-mail account passwords. Now in order to change them on my blackberry I am asked to do the following when I go to the set up:
File Path : Setup - Email Accounts Existing Users If you want to access your email settings or you changed your device, log in User Name: Password:
I have 3 e-mail accounts going to this phone and each has a new password. I do not know what my user name is, I set it up 2 years ago...how do I retreive my username? when I click on "forgot password" it says the password has been sent to my phone, but I never receive it.
i just bought the iphone4 and everytime i try to log into my gmail account on my phone it says my password or account is incorrect but i can log on with the same information on my laptop and it works.. i changed my pw 3 times and it still wont work on my phone but it does on the computer..
When I'm on my 4S and goto install pending App updates, it requires a password. That password is different than my iTunes store password. Is that correct? I know the password to install the apps, but can't figure why it's different. It seems wrong. My iTunes userid is a "xxxxx.mac" format and when I goto install the apps, it just says my userid is just "xxxxx".BTW, when I plug my 4s into my imac, iTunes does not recognize it. It is recognized on my Macbook. Not a cable or port problem. This is a whole other issue, but I wonder if they're related.
When installing iOS 5 I somehow linked my iCloud to my moms account both on my iPhone and iPad. If I select the delete account button at the bottom of the iCloud settings, will it delete the account off of my moms phone too? She would rather not delete her iCloud account.
Every time i go to set an mailbox (i.e gmail) i just enter the password and the device just take me to the screen to choose E-mail (Ovi Mail, Yahoo, Gmail...).. Nothing happens.
I have an iphone and setting an e-mail account was peace of cake. Nokia drives me crazy. I did factory defaults and everything but nothing seems to help. I can access internet by wi-fi and by my operator (successfully browse the WEB).
I'm on iOS 8.0.2Â on the iPhone 6. In mail settings, when I change any information (default account/signature etc) and return back to the settings screen, the settings revert back to what they were originally!
For example, when I edit my signature to 'Thanks', and click back to the mail settings menu, the signature appears as 'Sent from my iPhone' again! This is the same for all settings in mail only, not for those in contacts or calendar. Only mail settings seem to be not working.Â
I've tried a hard reboot, resetting network systems, and all that stuff. What should I do?
I cannot log into the mail, I fill out everything and it tells me either username or password is incorrect but I know it is not. Then I go into google to verify and it works.
I am using mail with a gmail account. The bottom of the screen has an icon in the middle that looks like a box. If I accidentally click that icon the email goes into it never to be seen again.what this is and where the email goes?
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?
My iPhone keeps asking for all my e-mail passwords every time I open the mail app. It didn't do this before and now I'm not recieving e-mails because I'm clicking cancel out of frustration.
I have more than one email account. Periodically one or the other will for no apparent reason refuse to recognize the password or a message will pop up that says the server can't be found. Is there better email software that doesn't do this? It is too time consuming to try finding out what is wrong all the time.
After I installed and used the push mail toggle to turn my push "off", for some reason now I can no longer get push to work again. I have removed the push mail toggle, and I have rebooted. Any idea's what may be going on?
I'm trying to setup a new exchange email account on an iPhone 4. This is normally pretty straight forward, however, on this particular phone I can't get into the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings. When I go into Settings and click on it, the screen flicks up into the settings for a second and then boots me out of settings and back to the main display
I have tried restarting the phone to no avail and checked to make sure it has the latest software update. Is there anything else I can try before I resort to resetting back to default settings?
Using a MS Exchange account , if I delete a message on my iPad, how can I ensure it is not deleted off the server? I know how to do this with POP accounts on the iPhone but I can't find the same option on the MS Exchange account settings on the iPhone.
