Cannot get mail-the gmail username or password is incorrect

What does it mean when my iPad cannot get mail?

It means that there is an error in your server settings, specifically the username or password is incorrect.
Preferences > Accounts > Google Account Settings > Re-enter proper account name and password. 
Are you using two-step verification for gmail? If so, see this thread:

  • TS3899 Cannot get mail  the user name or password for Suddenlink is incorrect

    I have not once had an issue with this. I have not changed my password or anything. I have the iPhone 4. All of a sudden, the message error pops up that says " Cannot get Mail"  The User name or Password for Suddenlink is incorrect. Please help!!!!!!

    All customers should now have the ability to send and receive email through Suddenlink’s email service, and the vast majority should have full service, including access to all mail, folders, contacts, and settings. We will continue working until the remainder of customers have full email service restored. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we continue to work to restore full email service for all customers.

  • Bummer Message:  Cannot Get Mail  The user name or passowrd for "

    I have had the iPad 2 for one week and was able to access two gmail accounts (mine and my wife's). . . until this morning when one of them (mine) starting giving me the message:  "Cannot Get Mail  The user name or password for "####" is incorrect."  The other gmail account is still accessible. So what is the solution--if any?

    If your having problems sending email - go into your email settings and see if you can enter a password for your outgoing mail server same password as your incoming mail server.

  • "cannot get mail" The username or password is incorrect?

    "cannot get mail" the username or password is incorrect?

    I got it going again... What I did was recreate my iCloud "[email protected]" email address through the "advanced" method on the ipad.
    So, it was  Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Then went manual from there on out. (Didn't use the suggested email address and created my own.)
    I created a NEW me.com email address. Nobody had my old one, so it's just as well... This may not work for some people...
    ..and thanks for your reply Souad H...
    All the best!!

  • My iphone 4s is saying "cannot get mail" The username or password for "Btinternet" is incorrect

    My iphone 4s is saying "cannot get mail" The username or password is incorrect.
    I did reset my password yesterday on my main computer but tried on my iphone and now can't get mail ?

    Hi Cherie,
    I had EXACTLY the same problem for more than two weeks, that was NOT solved by speaking to BT 'Tech Support' - they kept saying that the problem was the fault of Apple - untill I finally got some help from them today (Mon 7th Oct).
    The error message I got - despite ALL settings on my iPhone(5) and iPad(4) being absolutely correct - was this:
    'Cannot Send Mail', 'The username or password for SMTP: ***********@mail.btinternet.com is incorrect'
    The only solution I got - eventually - from BT is to delete the above account fro the device and 're-install' it again, but THIS time use the 'Yahoo' option from the list of choices rather than 'Other'.
    When I did this and entered the relevant Name, E-Mail Address, Password, and Description (you can call the account whatever you like), I selected 'next', then I got the word 'Verifying.......' appear after a few seconds, and then I saw the four 'blue tick marks' appear next to my entries.
    These 'blue tick marks' confirm the verification that your details are correct.
    The next time you open your e-mail client on your iPhone or iPad you shoud see your ****@btinternet.com e-mail account in the list of e-mail accounts on your phone (if you have more than one) with a Yahoo icon next to whatever name you chose to call it. If you already have a Yahoo! account (like me) it is probably a good idea to call the 'BTYahoo' account, BT or something, rather than keep the default 'Yahoo' name otherwise you will have two with the same name in your accounts list.
    You SHOULD eventually get back ALL the e-mails that were previously in your inbox, as well as some 'extra' folders that you probably did not have when you first set up the account on your iOS device.
    That is what happened when I reinstalled my account, so I hope this works for you.

  • Is anyone getting this message when trying to access Yahoo Email?  "Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server failed?"

    Is anyone getting this message when trying to access Yahoo Email?  "Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server failed?"

    I have Yahoo mail (POP) account.  Mine is working fine at present.  I do occasionally get asked for password while sending mail.  I have had your issue in the past and it usually clears up in a few hours.  Sometimes I sign out and then back in and it starts working again.

  • What does Cannot get mail The connection to the server failed mean?

    How can I access my mail - when I try a messages stating 'Cannot get mail - The connection to the server failed'
    I dont know what to do!

    Usually there is not a password, SSL is set wrong, the server name is wrong, or the Port is wrong.
    Go toSettings > Mail, Contacts,Calendars, then the Mail Account and see if the Incoming Server is some form of STP server specified, then that a password is set, and the if that is all correct go to Advanced and see how SSL is set.

  • Iphone 4 "cannot get mail" as user name or password incorrect.

    I have an iphone 4 and it has stopped updating mail.  Three days ago I incorrectly typed in my mobile me password and had to reset it.  I have updated my mac account details for my mobile me account on my phone but I keep getting "cannot get mail" as user name or password for.mac account is incorrect.  Im not sure what to do and this is very frustrating as Im sure it is something very simple!  Any help gratefully appreciated. 

    Did you try to delete the MobileMe account on the phone and set it up again after that?
    You can also try to replace the account info on the phone during the next sync, if you select this option in the info pane, Advanced Section, with your phone connected to iTunes.
