Cannot get email to accept my password or username

I have tried to reset my password and I am using the correct username but I get the following message " sending of password did not succeed Mail server pop.earthlink.net responded bad password or user name"

Go to your email providers web mail page and confirm that you have a working username and password. If not, fix them there.
When you have a working password go into Thunderbird and delete the saved passwords and then close Thunderbird. When you restart Thunderbird you will be asked for a password. Enter the new, working password.
Here is how to remove and replace the stored passwords.

If you still have problems it might be incorrect server settings. Get a current list from your provider and compare those with what you have in Thunderbird.

Sometimes it is fruitless to try to "fix" a broken account on an iOS device. I would delete the account on both devices and then configure the account again from scratch.

Cannot Get Emails on 8530

Over last 24 hours I cannot get emails or access internet. Everytime I try to reset the email the message comes up "your device had a problem connecting to the server". Anyone have any ideas?

I have the 9350 and the excact smae thing happened to my phone as well. The last emails I recieved on my phone where on Wed the 25th at 10pm. Now I manage to get my phone to update my emails tonight by selecting "edit or register a new or current email account:" That upedated all the emails I had recieved for the 26th.
EDIT:
ok I am currently recieveing emails now, what I did was remove battery (didnt help) then went into settings and just entered my email addresses and passwords again on my BB. Hope it works for you!
Sp far so good on my end, I just recieved an email now while typing this, so i assume this fixed it! (for now)

Cannot Get Email! Help!

I have had my IPhone for about a year now. I recently upgraded to the IOS/icloud. Everyday i try to view my email and it pops up with this message: "Cannot Get Email. The user name or password for 'Gmail' is incorrect". I have checked my user name and password a million times. It's correct! It will also work randomly!
What's going on and how can I fix it?
Thanks

This is a known issue for some time with the gMail account - I created a favorite for https://www.google.com/accounts/UnlockCaptcha and use when this happens - fix everytime.

Hello IBCH. I understand you've forgotten your BIOS password.
Is this a notebook or a desktop? The only HP 500 I can find is this; which is a notebook.
If this is your computer then you should post your question in the HP Business Boards as this is an Enterprise product. The normal steps for resolving this issue will be different than on a consumer model. The users on the Business Boards will have a better understand of what will work for this notebook. Here is a link to the HP Business Boards.
I hope this helps and that you have a great evening!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

Problem getting WiFi to accept my password

Hey All. Just got my new Kin TwoM tonight! Yay. Like someone else said, I had to call Verizon to get it activated. Wouldn't work online. 1st Tech Support couldn't get it programmed manually, but Tier II got it programmed. That took a good 30 minutes. Now I'm trying to get WiFi working. I turned on Wifi and it's detecting my home network, but it won't recognize my password. Keeps saying it's wrong. Now it's an easy password for me to remember, but I figured I better double check my password that I have written down and filed away, and I do have the correct password. It's all numeric, and I thought maybe I was using the letter O instead of a zero, but the zero is up in the top row with all the numbers so that's not the problem. I then went into my router to make sure I didn't go and change the password at some point, but the password is what I've had it set to for years and what I'm trying to get the phone to accept. Anyone else have a problem getting WiFi to accept the password? My router is a Dlink. The phone is showing it as WEP, so I thought maybe there's a problem with the phone and WEP and maybe I should try another encryption. Or do I have to allow access in my router or something?. I went in and disabled the password on my router and the Kin was able to connect fine. I enabled the password again, re-entered it on my phone and it won't connect with the password. Any other ideas? Thanks, Pam

Oh this is frustrating. I finally got my phone wifi to connect to my home network once by manually adding my network, but I couldn't seem to get it connected again when I try the same way. When I was connected, I still couldn't open any webpages, but it did download my email. BUT...it wouldn't open any email unless it was text only. I was wondering if it was because I turned off Data Services in my Verizon account. I thought you had to do that so that you wouldn't accidentally connect to 3G when there was no WiFi. I did try to renew my IP, but no change. I tried manually connecting to my home network another 10 times or so, and I finally got it to connect again, and I can now access the internet. The wifi on this phone must be VERY buggy. That's a real dissapointment since the phone has so many great features. I suppose it is possible that my phone has an faulty Wifi. I'll see if I have problems connecting to wifi elsewhere. I did try at work yesterday and couldn't get connected, but I wasn't sure how good the wifi was at work so I didn't really worry about that. I am NOT going to mess with the wifi connection to my home network now that I finally got it connected. Hopefully after I turn off wifi, it will be able to reconnect the next time I turn it on. One can hope anyway!

I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion. This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it. I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date. It is usually correct, to within a few weeks. A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
I hope this helps.

I would delete the account and try to re-enter it. Also, you have to let your firm's IT department know that you want to sync work email on your personal devices before they actually work.

HT1277 why i cannot set up my exchange account into my iphone 4s. everything that needs to input has been provided right, but error says cannot get email not connected to the srver.where seems to be the problem?pls help.btw,i have an outlook for macbook

please help me find out the solution to the problem.
My iphone 4S was not able to fetch mails from the server ( outgoing and incoming)
I was trying to configure my exchange account and follow all the procedures correctly but am having trouble in sending and receiving mails as the error says " cant get mails cannot connect to the server? where seems to be the problem?
Have read from the support services that if you using a Pop3 account into another device which I did ( my email was configured via outlook for mac in my macbook) there might be a lock out problem and cannot get emails on the second device which is my iphone? ( I want to set up my exchange account to my iphone so wherever and whenever i go i cant still access to my email easily. Please help.

No one seems to be hearing what Big Q is saying.
He can pair his iPhone to his Macbook, but cannot CONNECT. He's NOT asking for alternative solutions, like Wi Fi.
I am able to both pair and connect my one one Macbook to my other one, but I can only pair but not connect my iPhone or iPad to either Macbook. So I have the same problem. But I can pair and connect my Macbooks to other Bluetooth devices, like my ancient Nokia cellfone, or my Bluetooth HP printer.
It's irrelavent that I can instead use a direct USB cable or Wi Fi between my Macbooks and my iPhone/iPad - why can't I use Bluetooth? If Apple does not allow Bluetooth between it's Macbooks and other Mac devices, then why have Bluetooth at all? Does my iPhone have Bluetooth only so that I can pair and connect to my my non Apple mobile handsfree car kit, or communicate easily with the dreaded Apple enemy Samsung, or what?
Make no mistake , I am a diehard Apple fan, but this Bluetooth non compatibility issue appears shortsighted and seemingly pointless. Why does Apple not just say why they created the non compatibility, or have a message on the Bluetooth setup programme which simply and clearly says "don't bother wasting hours of your time trying to pair and connect your iPhone to your Macbook, because we don't allow that anymore, reason being that............"?
As a first time user of this Forum I am surprised at the intolerant and highhanded tone of some of the replies to what is a legitimate question, that is obviously plagueing many, many other Apple users.
