Can't access an email message

I was trying to read a mail message using Apple Mail and encountered a menu that popped up saying 'The user name or password you entered for area “mail.xxxxx.com” on mail.xxxxx.com:80 was incorrect. Make sure you’re entering them correctly, and then try again.' (I've put xxxxx in for the company name for privacy issues.) I've never seen such a menu box on a mail message and have no idea what to do with it. Any ideas?

Thanks for your response. I looked in my keychain, and there is no entry for the offending party. I did not delete my mail passwords, because Mail is downloading everything correctly from my mail servers.
Here is what this strange menu box looks like:

Note that the upper left button is grayed out, so I can't even delete this message unless I go back to to original view box. Any other ideas?

I keep getting an error pop-up when I try to access my email. The pop-up says Cannot Get Mail The connection to the server failed. I get this pop-up on both my iPhone 5 and my iPad. I can still access my email, but the pop-up is real annoying.

Hi StuNYC,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

Can't access my emails

Hi there
I've had my BlackBerry for ages but today is the first time I've had this problem, I don't know if I've re-set something by accident.
Basically I can't access my emails - the star/asterisk sign shows up on the menu to show that new messages have come in (and I know they have because I can see them on my laptop) but when I click any of the email icons (the general 'Messages' one, or the two separate email accounts I have) they just take me to text messages rather than email messages.
Help!
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Chris, Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.

Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

I tried all troubleshoots except deleting all my email ids.
Please guide, how can i access my emails on iPhone 5 now,
Thanking you,

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Delete and re-add the accounts.

HT1430 I can't delete 2 email messages. All others delete properly, however 2 will not delete no matter what I try. A pop up message comes up and says "cannot not delete"

I can't delete 2 email messages that I received on the same day from one of my email accts. I have **** down the device and reset the device with no resolution to the problem. I can forward these two messages to our other acct and it will delete from there but returns to my personal email again, repeatedly. All other messages that I have deleted from my acct delete properly. I get a pop up indicating that " the message cannot be deleted". How do I fix this?

Delete the mail account and setup again.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Can someone access my email through iCloud if they used to have access to my email?

Can someone access my email through iCloud if they used to have access to my email?

Your question is not clear. If it is a Yahoo email account, then where does iCloud come into the picture? Or do you mean you are using the yahoo.com email address as your Apple ID? These are entirely different things. The Yahoo email account is not in any way related to the Apple ID that is using that email address as the Apple ID.

I can't see why Tokyo should be a problem - rather the reverse given the Japanese commitment to technology. Can you get at http://icloud.com ? (Remember that you can't access that on an iOS device). Or you should be able to access it in your Mail app or application - what sort of problems are you having?
