Cannot send email user name or password is incorrect
I have an iPhone 3Gs with 6.1.6 iOS software and gmail. Until last week I could receive and send emails on my phone. Last week I tried to email a photo from my iPhone and received the following message "Cannot send email the user name or password is incorrect". About 30 minutes later I received an email message from google accounts with a sign-in attempt blocked message. Since then I have not been able to send an email from my phone. Every time I try to send an email I get the "User name or Password for Gmail is incorrect" - message. I changed passwords but that didn't help. I can receive emails on my phone but I can't send them. The only way I can send email is by clicking on the less secure apps button on the google accounts settings page.. Why do I get this message now and how can I get gmail working on my phone like it used to? If I delete my gmail account does it just remove it from the phone where the same account can be reinstalled or is it completely gone for good?
Hey YodaObi,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are not able to send emails but are able to receive them. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Suddenly on both my iPhone and iPad I cannot access my AOL mail. It tells me my user name or password are incorrect. Yet I have no trouble accessing from other devices. This occurred randomly in the middle of the night. I'd done nothing different or unusual. I've tried re-starting both devices, tried deleting and re-installing my account information. Any suggestions?
Hmm... looks like this is an issue for that email provider for some reason.
A user in a bt.com forums recommends turning off Push Emails settings.

Trying to access an old email account through mobileme.com
everytime I try to check my mobileme email a message box pops-up:
User name or password is incorrect.
What can I do? I currently have 2 email addresses hooked up to me.comMobileMe is closed (as was announced over a year ago). You need to migrate your account to iCloud while you still can - go to http://me.com and follow the link to migrate. You should do this as soon as possible.
Then sign in in System Preferences>iCloud (Lion required) and enable Mail in the checklist there. -
I have a 1and1 email address but when I complete all the setting up info it says that either the imap user name or password is incorrect. I have attempted it many times since carefully putting in the correct info but still same message appears. Any ideas?
If this is a Gmail account you might need to unlock by going here: https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha.

I get an intermittent " Cannot Get Mail. The user name or Password is incorrect" I haven,t touch any settings. Any ideas?
That usually means that the mail server is busy and rejects the Mail App's request for a mail update.

I keep getting an error message while trying to setup my imap Gmail and Aol accounts on my new ipad air. The error says user name or password is incorrect but I know for a fact they are correctly entered. How do I correct this?
Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

I have a working gmail account on my Mac and the same user name and password for my IPad. I am getting an error message when trying to retrieve mail on the IPad indicating that the user name or password is incorrect. I have tried deleting the account and adding it again, but doesn't solve the problem.

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.

I am able to run the report fine in BIDS in the preview window, and it deployes fine. When it goes to view the report in the browser, I get the following error. There is no domain, I am using a standalone computer with SQL Server and SSRS on
this one machine.
Can anyone point to where I might configure the permission it is looking for? thanks! Steven
The report server has encountered a configuration error. Logon failed for the unattended execution account. (rsServerConfigurationError)
Log on failed. Ensure the user name and password are correct. (rsLogonFailed)
The user name or password is incorrect
Steven DeSalvoHi StevenDE2012,
Based on the error message "The report server has encountered a configuration error. Logon failed for the unattended execution account. (rsServerConfigurationError)", it seems that the Unattended Execution Account settings in Reporting Services
Configuration is not correct.
Reporting Services provides a special account that is used for unattended report processing and for sending connection requests across the network. Unattended report processing refers to any report execution process that is triggered by an event rather than
a user request. The report server uses the unattended report processing account to log on to the computer that hosts the external data source. This account is necessary because the credentials of the Report Server service account are never used to connect
to other computers. To configure the account, please refer to the following steps:
Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the report server instance you want to configure.
On the Execution Account page, select Specify an execution account.
Type the account and password, retype the password, and then click Apply.
In addition, please verify you have access to the Report Server database by following steps:
Go to SQL Server Reporting Services Configuration Manager, make sure the configuration is correct.
Go to Database, Verify that you can connect to the database.
Make sure you are granted public and RSExecRole roles.
Reference:
Configure the Unattended Execution Account
Configure a Report Server Database Connection
If the problem is unresolved, i would appreciate it if you could give us detailed error log, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
Thanks,

I dropped my phone yesterday and now can't receive mail. I removed and then replaced the sim card. I've restarted the phone. It says the user name or password is incorrect. I re-entered the correct information (I think) and I've also synced it with my computer. Nothing works. Help!
Delete the email account and re-enter it from scratch.
