Cannot validate email account

Hi, I have been using my Blackberry with 4 email accounts successfully for a couple of years. Now one of my email accounts needs validation. When I type the password for the validation, however, it is not accepted. It says the password is invalid, but it's the same password I have been using for several years.
Any suggestions how solve this?
THe email account is a Microsoft Web Account through the university I am afiilitated with.
Thanks,
Paul

Try doing a soft reset on the phone steps are listed below, once that is done do a PRL update on the phone by dialing *228 option 2. Then make sure that your email setting on your blackberry is still set up in the correct format.
To perform a soft reset, complete the following steps:
Press and hold the Altkey on the BlackBerry smartphone.
While holding down the Alt key, press and hold the Right Shiftkey.
With both of those buttons still pressed, press the Backspace/Deletekey. The display on the BlackBerry smartphone turns off to indicate that the reset has started, and the keys can now be released.
If the steps provided to you do not work reset your password and validate your email settings. http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=25994

Cannot add email accounts, no browser no BIS, Nothing!

Hello
I recently came back from New York (I live in the Cayman Islands) and i had bought a Blackberry Curve 8300 at an electronics store there with hopes of using it when i got back.
I went to my mobile network t get the BIS connected but i was told that it could not be connected because my PIN was still on the T-Mobiles network.
I called T-Mobile and they said that the phone is not on their system so i must contact RIM
First of all when i try to setup my internet the only thing that comes up is "I want to use a work email account with a blackberry enterprise server"> so i think this phone is registered with RIM on a BES but i want BIS for personal use.
I upgraded the OS to see if that would help but that did nothing. The browser is also missing. It shows that it is there in the applications list but its not on the home screen (even when i show all)
I tried to register on BIS via the Blackberry site but i keep getting the error message " Invalid PIN and IMEI format". I know i have the right PIN and IMEI.
When i go to Security Options> general options>Services i see ***No Services***
When i go to Options> Advanced i see in the list Enterprise Activation (i dont have a enterprise account)
Could it be that it is still on the BES and thats what causing the problem. I think this phone is already on a account on the blackberry network and cannot be reregistered unless it is removed. I just bought it at an electronic store and everyone is saying that i need to contact the previous owner but thats not gonna happen. i am in the cayman islands and i bought it through an electronics store (i doubt even they know the original owner)
Please help...

HI and Welcome to the Forums!
The issue is not BES at all. Rather, the issue is that your BB PIN remains locked to the original carrier (from what you posted, TMobile). There may actually be two steps you need to conduct:
1) Unlocking the BB from the original carrier:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_unlock_my_BlackBerry%3F
2) Unlocking your BB PIN from the original carriers BIS system. The carrier controls BIS, not RIM. The carrier must release the PIN from their BIS before your new carrier can assign a BIS account to the PIN. You must convince one of the two carriers to conduct the escalation to RIM...if you escalate yourself, there will be fees (RIM does not provide first line support...the carrier do). When you contact them, be sure they first escalate you to their internal BB support team...then if they decide they can do so, they can escalate into RIM.
Good luck and let us know!

Unable to validate email account

I am unable to validate my email account despite using the instructions sent to me by BlackBerry. I get this error message:
"An error occurred during email validation - please check your information and try again."
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try doing it online. From your PC browser, go to www.telstra.blackberry.com . Once there, create a username and password combo then try validating your email account from there. If you have difficulties, try www.blackberry.com/integrate from your phone's browser.
I hope that helps you.

I cannot edit email account info or add new account

On my daughter's iPad (iPad first gen, 32GB 3G), the lines for editing email account and adding accounts are grey/inactive.
I have reset (hard turn off/on) the unit, synced and updatet to latest iOS, but it still remains the same.
I think it may have happened after I hooked her desktop computer up to the same email a few weeks ago, and I know how to set it up correctly so the account will work on both units with IMAP - but I am not allow to edit or do anything with it on the iPad.
Any tips?

I N E E D H E L P T O O! ! !
Problem: I have two Apple ID's
ID# 1 was (and still is) my primary ID which has an email account assigned to it that no longer exist, therefore any purchases whatsoever are sent to this invalid email adress.
ID# 2 - I cannot access this account to make it the priority account on my iPad (due to ID# 1 being the primary account) so that all purchases can be sent to the email address accociated with this account.
Everything would be so much easier if I could just delete ID# and just use ID # 2 which as a valid email adress.
Even if I try to change the email adress within the settings for ID# 1on my iPad, and type in my current email address it gives me the error that this email address is in use and cannot be used. Well, no kidding! I am the user and it is used for ID# 2 where it was originally setup. basically I want to start over but how do I get my iPad to accept a new ID with an already previously used email which is associated with another ID???

E72 - Cannot delete email account

Had problems setting up two email accounts on my E72. Now set up ok, however I have been left with one of the failed accounts that I cannot remove. This account is in emails and is listed under settings but when I try to remove it it sitill remains. I can not open this account in settings either. Any help on how to romove this account would be appreciated.

1. Login to email.nokia.com
2. After login is COMPLETE, check the server name in the browser window
3. Enter the name EXACTLY to the "settings" ==> SELECT ACCOUNT ==> "account settings" ==> "account information" ==> "server name"
4. Select "Back" (It is the right key)
5. You will see some messages and after that the account is either functional or at least you can delete.
(THROUGHT THE FORUM, account deletion problems are most likely happening due to server changes where your account information is stored. It happened to me that when I first created the account, the server was different then what I found today (it was a different server), when I solved my problems). When email.nokia.com ACCOUNTS are not in sync with your PHONE ACCOUNTS, this is most likely the problem. I hope it will help many.
Just one more thing: You will need to enter your email.nokia.com password in "settings" ==> SELECT ACCOUNT ==> "account settings" ==> "account information" ==> "Password"

Cannot change email account settings

I have been getting error messages trying to send email saying the email is in my outbox as it cannot determine my outgoing email server!!
I see a thread here giving the guidance in Mail (Yosemite): Verify an account’s outgoing mail server Looking at the account as directed I cannot see Account Information just nothing there I can see in Menu, double clicking on the account name so I cannot check or change the SMTP server. The only thing I can see is a Details button but that has nothing to allow setting anything other then the email account name, password and the display name. The account Information is not there.
Help please to find this Account Information so I can check/change the SMTP server.

Hello bh8er,
I'm sorry to hear you are having mail issues with your Mac. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing/describing. What are you seeing when you go to Mail > Preferences and select the Accounts tab? Does it show more than one account in the left hand column, and does it allow you to select your account? What does it say for Account Type? You may also find the additional troubleshooting steps in the following article helpful, in particular the portion about using the Mail Connection Doctor:

Cannot setup email account

Hi, I have had my Blackberry Torch for a while now. When I first got it I tried to setup the email account but for some reason my email address was already there, it said all I have to do is type in my password, so I did. But it keeps saying 'Sorry, unable to continue your session. Try again later'. How do I get my email to work? Or how do I delete the email completely and start again? Please help!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Inside of the same email configuration wizard, you can remove any account that is already there, and thereby start over clean.
KB04620 How to delete an email account integrated with BlackBerry Internet Service
KB02189 How to associate email addresses with the BlackBerry Internet Service account
If you cannot do so via the on-device wizard, then try, from your BB Browser, this site:
www.blackberry.com/integrate
Further, from a PC/browser, you can access your BIS account (which is what this all is) if your carrier provides such an interface:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Where_can_I_log_into_my_BIS_account%3F
Last but not least, you can ring up your mobile service provider as they manage your BIS account for you.
Hopefully something amidst that will work for you!

Recurring requirement to Validate email account

I have had my Blackberry Curve for a month or so. When syncing with email at work, I use our pop server. Over the past week I have begun to receive auto emails from Blackberry to update the password for my account. When I go to the email account tool. it shows my work email as an invalid account, with the 'validate' option showing. Once I click Validate, everything goes back to normal.
Any ideas? This happens several times a day now.
Thank you
Ron
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, I got to the solution for this problem by dealing with a Blackeberry specialist at T-Mobile. Once prompted to change your password, you must do so with your phone or through the web. However, that is half the battle. Once done, you have to select "Send Service Books", which will send an acknowledgement of your change to you, and will update the data base at your carrier, that the change was completed. Without doing this, the system thinks that you have not completed the change and will continue to prompt you.

E71, cannot delete email account.

This problem has been dealt with but sollutions suggested does not work for me.
My E71 unlocked 3, works fairly well on orange. I deleted the 3 mail account and added a imap google apps account and does not work well due to folders on my google apps. It freezes. Now i m unable to delete the email account as there is no delete options.
Messaging > options > settings > E-mail > options has no delete option. available options are "change, New mail Box, Help, Exit"
This is same if I go to Menu > communications > messaging > Settings > E-mail> options
Thanks in advance

Are you removing your private email account or Mail for Exchange account or Lotus Notes?
Are you using Nokia Messaging service or direct connection to Email service?
What is the error message, when you try to remove mail account?
If you are using the Nokia Messaging service, go to the Email application, select Settings > Highlight the mailbox that needs to be removed > Select Options. > Remove mailbox. > Yes.

Apple ID Loop From **** - cannot verify email account

Please help as I am about to throw my phone through the window.
I had this problem back with MobileMe, which I was never able to set up correctly and now it's biting me in the butt for iCloud. Here is the issue:
Apple ID from ages ago before e-mail address required as an Apple ID - so it's xxx. Email associated with xxx user id is my personal email address.
A while ago, created another user ID per Apple that is my e-mail address: [email protected] But, that is also the email address associated with the xxx old id.
Back when I tried to set up MM and now iCloud, the iPhone constantly tells me it can't verify my email accout for the [email protected] user id. Back when I was setting up MM, I just gave up.
I called Apple care and he basically said I need to disassociate my email address from the old xxx user id. I went into iTunes app store and made that change to the old ID account. Mind you, appleid.apple.com is DOWN.
iTunes showing everything hunky dory: xxx user id is associated with a different email account and the [email protected] user id is associated with [email protected] email address.
going back into iPhone to set up iCloud. I have deleted and reentered the [email protected] apple id I want to use and it's still saying it can't verify the email address! What gives? This is making me crazy and the Apple Care rep says they have no power to make changes over the phone - it's all self-service.
I am caught in the loop from ****!
Thanks

The best way is to contact iTunes store support. Make sure you give them the old email address so they can look up the account for you. They'll tell you how to regain access to it:

Cannot create email account with out active sim/da...

Do you need a sim card and data plan inorder to create an email account on the E72? I don't have a sim in my e72 only wifi access most things seem to work such as sending/receiving email and surfing the internet. But can you NOT add a new email account with out a cellular data plan or sim card inserted?

Mail for Exchange and Lotus Traveler should work on WiFi, but the Nokia messaging accounts need Operator connection (at least for initial setup).

Cannot setup email account always asking for password

Just got the IPad3 and setting up my email account. I tried setting it up the same way as my IPhone. Had the email account and password entered but when I exit, it gives me a message saying that it may not be able to send or received mail. I don't know what else is missing from the setup.
When I try to open my email, it always asks for the password, entered the password again but does not open my email.
Please help.
Thank you.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!
