Aol email password does not stay in phone

Aol works now for about 5 minutes on my phone after I delete and reinstall. I get the following email from Verizon;
Your account [email protected] could not be authenticated. If you have recently changed your email password, please enter the most current password in settings to continue receiving emails.
Bought the phone in October and it worked fine up until 3 months ago. About every week or so I would get the above email and would reconfigure the account and it would get emails for about a week. Now it only takes a few minutes to get the email and for the phone to stop receiving AOL.
The entered password is correct. We have not changed it.
My wife and sons have the same phone and have no problems accessing the account
Spoke to Verizon support yesterday and they said they were not sure what was going on and we did a hard reset and the problem still exists.
Spoke to Best Buy Samsung experience rep who said the problem is that only one phone can access aol. Why did it work for 2 years with the older phones and for 6 months with the new?
I really use this email a lot now to communicate with teams I coordinate. Anyone have a solution? Thanks

Have you removed that AOL account from the list....and tried to set up it from scratch ?
Looks like the internal AOL database files have been corrupted., and needs be removed completely from your s3.
Aside from a total Phone reset..this is how I solved this on different droid devices.:
1.) Clean your AOL Email CACHE out completely,on the settings..app. menu, .. Before removing your AOL acct and settings. SHUT cel off completely and do a hard reboot.
2.) And...From your AOL.9.5 User master account, CHANGE your AOL PW from via a PC ..THEN set up your AOL acct. on your Cel phone with the new sign in PW.
Re-do the AOL acct, as per your Droid's recommended procedure. ...only on the 3/4g VZW network. .Don' t do it on a WiFi .
I try to stay FAR away from the AOL app.like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aol.mobile.aim&hl=en

Lightning cable loose - does not stay in phone port- cannot charge

lightning cable is loose right out of the box - does not stay in phone port - cannot charge it. Any ideas?

Malcolm may be correct. But maybe something simple is stuck in the port. Take a clean toothpick and gently make sure nothing is blocking.

WiFi Password does not stay!

No problem at my home network.
However, whenever I'm at my work WiFi and turn the iPhone on, a pop up comes to fill in the WiFi passowrd. However, I can not put it in because it does not stay. So I have to go to pref -> network and put it in there, then it works until I put the phone in standby mode. Waking up from standby mode the same issue starts!
Any idea? Original iPhone, 2.2

I suggest try forgetting this network.
Select the network to view the network settings and at the top is a Forget this Network option.
Follow this by reconnecting to the network.
If this doesn't work, there is Reset Network Settings option at Settings > General > Reset.
This will erase all wi-fi network settings from your iPhone.

Email password does not work

My yahoo email pop for safari's email service does not recognize the password. Yet I can go to yahoo mail and log in?
How can I enable the same password to work with the same yahoo pop email address through safari's email system? Just so I can send emails to websites I visit.

Try deleting this file.
com.apple.keychainaccess.plist
~/Library/Preferences ~ meaning your Home Folder
Move that .plist file to the Trash and restart your Mac, then try again.
Also, the 10.6.2 combo update is available here and includes fixes that might help.

If you do this, make sure and repair disk permissions after the installation.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

HT4623 os6 iphone 4s wifi password does not save when phone is turned off and turned back on

i just udpated my iphone 4S to OS6 and when accessing my secured wifi I add my password and then joins secured network. However, if I turn the phone off and turn back on again the wifi connection is lost and cannot re join until I add my password AGAIN. Tried soft reset and reset network but nothing worked.
Any other suggestions?

If you do a search of the forums, there appear to be a number of postings regarding iOS6, wi-fi security and random disconnection of wi-fi. It appears, as the posts have discussed, it is connected to the use of WPA2 security. Most of the posting, however, have been related to iPhone 5, not the 4S. As far was what was posted, they say Apple has been made aware of the issue and they are looking for a fix. Not sure if that would help the iPhone 4S, because it does not support both bands as the iPhone 5 does. Just remember that WEP is less secure than WPA2. You might also try restarting your router after changing back to WPA2 on the phone, depending on what the router is set for.

When I try to add an email address (by clicking on the address and slecting the 'Add to Address book' option the email addrss does not stay in my address book

When adding an email address to my address book often it will stay in the address book until I close Thunderbird then it disappears and it won't pop up as a valid address when I am composing a note.

This usually means that the address book data file is corrupt.
I'd suggest you export your misbehaving address book to an LDIF file, delete the original address book then re-import its data from the LDIF file.
Note that you won't be allowed to delete either ''Personal Address Book'' (PAB) nor ''Collected Addresses'' (CA) within Thunderbird. You'll have to close Thunderbird, open its profile and delete:
''abook.mab'' for PAB, or
''history.mab'' for CA.
When you next run Thunderbird, it'll create a new empty address book to replace the one you deleted. Import your address to a new temporary address book, then move the Contacts (drag-and-drop) into the preferred address book.

What I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
This is how O2 function and according to Gemma this is how Vodafone work

Old email ID does not match Apple password

When I try to get an App from the App Store, I am unable to login with my Apple ID. I noticed that Apple has an old, inactive email ID, so my password does not match. How do I get rid of the old email ID?

Well Apple just doesn't create Apple ID on their own. You very likely created a new Apple ID rather than changing your email address in the old one.
You can change the email address associted with the old Apple ID by logging in to My Apple ID. Be aware though that you may have trouble using the email address of your NEW Apple ID since one of the prerequisites is that the email address can not already be in use.
This is important because apps and other content (including free content) are forever tied to the Apple ID used to make the purchase.

What server? What email are you talking about? You're not exactly providing a whole lot of details. I could assume you mean icloud and an icloud address, but no point in wasting time troubleshooting if you mean something else...
And what's up with the picture?

Each email account can have its own alert or notification settings.
Settings > Notifications > Mail > tap on each account and set the alerts you want.

help me please

You can't. Return the phone for a refund, if you can, because without the previous owner's Apple ID/Password, you will not be able to re-activate the phone. It will be useless to you.
Apple can't/won't help you with this.

My mobile-me email accout does not receieve any emails and does not show the file system

hi - my mobile me email account does not recieve any emails - plus, the file structur is not available on my mac. I am using iphone and ipad, there at least the file structure is visible. I received the notification, that my icloud storage is not sufficiant, I extend this to 80 GB, should not be an issue anymore. However, does not work - I can however sent emails...many thanks for any help

Just to confirm ... by Verizon Web Portal, you mean the Verizon branded Yahoo! web portal page? Correct?    Just want to be sure you're looking in the right place.
If you go into your account settings on Verizon, does it say there that you are the "Yahoo!" experience (probably also has an option listed to allow you to change to AOL as well).
If it says Yahoo! and you are looking on the Yahoo! web portal inbox, then it sounds like your mapping over to the Yahoo! side is not setup properly within the Verizon cloud.   That would take a call to tech support to fix.
Just for giggles, have you tried changing your mailbox password (and not recofniguring any mail clients, etc.).   Just to make sure something isn't quickly grabbing the mail and downloading it before you can see it via the web portal.   Might want to do that just as an experiment.
Another think to try is creating a sub-account for email and see if mail gets delivered to the address.
