Email password invalid

I have been using my BB for 1 week today.  My email has been working fine on my blackberry until some time this afternoon.  I received an email stating my email password was invalid and to reset it to continue receiving my emails on my phone.  I haven't changed my password and clearly I was in my email at the time to receive this news.  Every attempt made so far to put my password in through my phone AND via computer comes back that my password is invalid. 
Any ideas/solutions?  This is one of the main features that I purchased this phone for and it's very frustrating that I'm already having issues with it. 
Thanks in advance.

Heya aaarcher86!
Just wanted to know a couple things.
what is your device model, software version and service provider? Also, do you have any trouble logging into your actual email account? Are you logging directly into your email provider or via Outlook?

  • Synchronize email password is invalid

    hi guys,
    everytime i log into my email settings i am prompted to sync my @live.com email account with my bb device. it only requires my email password. when i enter my password in order to sync email account with bb, i get "account password is invalid" and then it just moves on to my added emal addresses. the email addresses have been added just fine, they work just fine, i get my notifications through my bb device, servicebooks are in order.
    why does it keep asking me to sync my email account and why is my password invalid --its not like i don't know my own password --
    p.s. it does not prompt me to sync my @yahoo.com account, only the @live.com

    Thanks for responding Graham. Re-setting my password at home office includes the Active Directory domain, which is something only I can do. A network admin could re-set a temp password, but it would change at next log-in and I can't administrate it on my iPhone. There must be a way to stop the phone from constantly trying to sync. The phone gets hot and the percentage indicator counts down almost 1% a second.

  • Failed to add any email service to Thunderbird on Ubuntu: "username or password invalid"

    I failed to add gmail and other email imaps/smtps account to Thunderbird on one of my ubuntu machine, it keeps saying "username or password invalid" "Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?", but I am certain that i entered the correct info, I have two other machines, a Windows 7 and a Ubuntu laptop, both works perfectly with Thunderbird and the mail accounts, And I even reinstalled Ubuntu once but noting changed. I am sooo confused with this and I really don't know what to do next. So any help please?

    <blockquote>
    using an apple device? (The most common cause off this is the unbridled use of connections to improve performance apple devices have. They also have no way to limit connections, or did not.)
    Thunderbird will use 5 connections to get mail, and this can be reduced in Edit > account settings > server settings and click the advanced button.
    Apple as I understand it has no such limiting option.
    The maximum number of connections is set by your provider, you just have to live within that limit.

    Hi Matt ! Thanks for your reply :)
    No, It's not an Apple. XD
    The machine is a PC desktop running Ubuntu. and I checked the advanced server setting, and I verified that the maximum number of connections to cache is 1, and thunderbird still won't accept any of my IMAP accounts T^T.
    But anyway, Thanks ( ^_^ )

  • Invalid Email Password - but its not.

    Hi - I hope you can help. I had a BB curve 8520 for past 2 years and loved it.  Over Christmas, my son had my old BB and I bought a new one - exactly the same - the Curve 8520. Both operate on orange networks.  My old BB was v4 new BB is v5. 
    I have a personal email address, and 5 work email accounts - all of which have worked perfectly fine on the old BB.  However when trying to add them to the new BB, although my personal account has been accepted, when trying to input my work email I keep getting a message that the password is not correct (which I know it is. I have even tried resetting my work email password on the email server).     
    The email accounts were removed from the old BB when it was given to my son, and although they have worked on that BB for 2 years, I tried reloading them on his BB - but now have the same error message of incorrect password.
    I have surfed the net and can see this seems to be an issue, mostly for gmail accounts (My work email is not a gmail account) - but no specific response on how to resolve it.   I have carried out all the checks such as making sure keyboard is set to right language, and font does not automatically set capitals as first letter, so that isnt the problem.
    The phone is primarily for business use - so I absolutely have to resolve this.  Anyone have any ideas to save my sanity?
    many thanks
    Michelle

    cogener, please try setting up that additional account in this manner...
    Use your BlackBerry browser to go to mobile.blackberry.com
    Scroll down to Communication
    Select > Email and choose the 'other' method (not yahoo or gmail, unless it is).
    Does that work for you?

  • I can't add a second email account. I get a message next to the password field 'Username or password invalid'. I can login to gmail web ok, imap is enabled.

    I have setup TB using a gmail account and is working fine. When I try to add another gmail account I get an error 'Username or password invalid'. I can login to this second gmail account through the web at gmail and the account has imap enabled.
    ps - i've been using these accounts for years through the web
    Thanks

    I also tried deleting TB altogether and reinstalled trying the problem gmail account and it still didn't work.
    While checking on the 2-factor authentication, which I don't use, i noticed something. The working gmail account allowed 'access for less secure apps' and my problem account didn't. I enabled that and was able to add it to TB. All works now!
    Not sure if the less secure apps is a good thing, but its working.
    Thanks Christ1

  • Why are all of my email passwords unrecognized?

    I went to the Atlanta Lenox store for help with my GF on Sunday. Michael could not have been more helpful. However, once I returned home each of my three email accounts started to "act up." Each time I tried to enter one of the accounts, I received a message to enter my password. I did so each time and many times thereafter only to receive a message "Password invalid" or "password unrecognizeable."
    I have deleted each account from my MacBook Air and from my Iphone 5. Each device is now "acting up." Has anyone experienced such disturbances and what should I do to correct the issue? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    service msg sent
    take battery out turned on. 1min
    put it back

    confirmation that its registered, so no idea if that worked!
    Anyway, im trying to set up my email, but i keep getting the 'email address/password is invalid'
    no its not. im currently signed onto it! ive re-typed it over, and over again.
    i also tried 'https://bis.eu.blackberry.com/html'  from my laptop, to get a ' Your account is not accessible via HTML browser. Please use your device to access BlackBerry Internet Service.'
    so i try the same address from my phone and im back to the 'email is invalid.
    honestly, does a phone really need to be this complicated??!!
    help please, before i throw it at a wall....

  • S620 htc Windows mobile E-mail or password invalid...

    I have a s620 htc and I can use my mobile phone fine when connected to my own bt router  using the normal SSID. However when I try and use BTfon insetad even in my own home it wont work. It does get to the btfon login screen and asks for my user emaill address and password. But as soon as I put it in and click login it states  "e-mail or password" invalid. 
    I know my email address i.e [email protected] and I know the password.
    I can connect using BTfon on my laptop device fine with the username and password. But I do exactly the same on the phone and it fails. I have even changed my btinternet password to something simpler and does exactly the same. Logs in ok on my laptop but my phone wont login. I press the capital button and make sure the number is correct but still no joy.
    Is there anyway I can try and hook mobile phone to my pc and edit anything to hard code the user name and  password. I cant seem to find a windows mobile app only android and I phone. I assume I only have to get this working once and it willl be automatic after that
    Very frustarting as only got the phone for a small bit of browsing when out and about.
    I have tried password several times and I know what I am inputting is correct

    Any help is worth a try.
     I did try that too as so difficult to tell with Windows 7 mobile not being that great, as on the laptop you can easily see which buts need just user name and which ones need full email address.  Its really odd if i get to a certain pageon my phone I can log in and check my BTfon status so accepts all my user name and password on that. But its the very first screen my phone hits when I try to go on the internet, then I click btfon login. I then try and put the details in that screen and just no joy.
    I dont mind stripping windows mobile off this phone but cant find an alternative o/s

  • I changed my email password

    I changed my email password on my laptop. when I went to change it on my iPhone 4s it says it is invalid and will not let me log in. I tried deleting it off my phone and readding it - failed. I turned off my phone and turned it back on - failed. I plugged my phone into the computer and synced it... I have done everything but deleting everything and starting from scratch - HELP!!!!!!

    well after a few days of bashing my head in trying to figure it out - I DID!!!!!
    So, here's the solution to my problem - I had 2 step verification on  - after I had changed my password google and its awesome security features wouldnt let an unknown device access the account.So I disabled 2-step verification and I was able to add gmail back onto my phone. yeaay! I have my all in one calendar back!
    now..... the next question is.... if I add the two step verification again but would like to add a youtube video off my phone will it let it..... I'll post when I find out.

  • Email Password Problems (Password corrupt?)

    Hi there,
    I need a mod to have a look at a friends email password for her.
    She hasn't been able to receive email for around 10 days via Windows Live Mail on Windows 7.  It suddenly stopped working with no changes made to the settings.
    I've logged on remotely and checked all settings, all settings are fine. We have reset the password 3 times now via the instructions on the BT Support Site and via Desktop Help. The password resets successfully but when we enter the new password we still get the same error.
    The ports were different when I first logged on to what they are here - http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44917/c/346
    I have changed them now to reflect the instructions in that link but still no joy, we still receive the same error whatever the settings
    Unable to send or receive messages for the Btinternet (xxxxxxxx) account. An incorrect password was entered. The next time you send or receive messages, you'll be asked to enter your user name and password for this account.
    Server Error: 0x800CCC90
    Server Response: -ERR [AUTH] invalid user or password
    Server: 'mail.btinternet.com'
    Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC92
    Protocol: POP3
    Port: 995
    Secure(SSL): Yes
    I should add that I tried setting up a new IMAP account and the password worked fine that way but we don't really want to have to go through the process of transferring all the old mail stored in the inbox and sent folders etc on the laptop from the POP account to the new IMAP one if we set one up.
    Could a mod please check what is happening with the password please and whether it is corrupt somehow?
    Thanks in advance.

    If  the password works on webmail and IMAP it is more likely a setting on your Windows Live Mail that is incorrect or her Windows Live Mail account has become corrupted. If the settings do not work you should save all her emails and then delete the account and re-set it up.
    Email settings:
    POP3
    Server incoming and out going: mail.btinternet.com
    Incoming mail server:
    Email user name: (prefix of email address without @btinternet.com. This is case sensitive)
    Password: Your BT email password.( This is case sensitive)
    Log on using clear text authentication
    Out Going Server in requires Authentication (Use same as incoming mail server. Some users have found that they need to enter the password and username instead of “use same as incoming mail server” )

  • Why cant I sign in to my account , message tells me my email is invalid

    I need some help signing in to my account, I get a message that tells me my email is invalid any suggestions?

    Hi there Bonilla;
    Do you have another HP account in existence?
    when someone has this issue, mos of the time they have an existing Snapfish HP account.
    Let's do this to make sure that is not your case;
    1. Go to www.snapfish.com and click on "log in" at the top right.
    2. On the splash screen that comes up click on the "forgot your password" link and submit your email.
    3. You should receive an email with a link and a temporary password.
    4. Click on the link and log in with the temp password.
    5. Change your password to something that has at least 6 characters (at least 1 of those should be a number).
    6. Go back to www.eprintcenter.com and click on Sign In.7. On the next screen do not put your email or password, but click on the small Snapfish below.
    8. On the splash screen that comes up log in with your email and the password you just created at Snapfish. This will merge your HP accounts and you should be able to log in to www.eprintcenter.com normally after that.
    Let me know the outcome I will do my best to help you if you still facing this issue after this;

  • I can't access email from my iPhone 3gs since changing email password

    Hi all,
    iPhone 3s 16GB
    iOS version: 6.1.3
    ISP Bigpond Cable
    I can't access my email from my iPhone 3GS.
    This is an iPhone problem, not an ISP problem.
    I know this because I can access my email from both my laptop and webmail.
    This is occurring here at home via my WiFi network and also a few kilometres away via 3G.
    This morning I had to change the password on my Bigpond Cable internet email account.
    Whenever I try to access email from my phone I receive the following error:
    "Cannot Get Mail"
    "The user name or password for "**** *****" is incorrect."
    There are two buttons, one captioned Settings the other OK.
    Both the user name and password are correct. This happened perhaps 4 or 5 times in the 6+ years I was with Internode and has happened a couple of times in the 20 months that I've been on Bigpond Cable.
    I have re-entered my email account and connection details multiple times to no avail.
    I have tried deleting the account, then rebooting my phone and creating a new account, but that didn't work.
    I tried deleting the account, turning the phone completely off, waiting one minute and then after turning it back on, creating a new account but that didn't work.
    I know I am entering the correct settings because before I deleted the account the first time, I took a series of screen captures from the Settings App and I also have the settings from MS Outlook to refer to.
    Its as though somewhere in the phone, the old email password is being stored and being used instead of the new one, but I don't know where that could be except in the Settings app, "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and that is where I am entering the new password.
    The only solutions to this problem I found by searching are those that I have already tried and haven't worked for me.
    Reverting to the old password is not an option. My account was compromised by Malware, hence the password change and a complete scan of my laptop.
    Any ideas?

    The problem was resolved by erasing the entire contents of my phone and then restoring it, setting it up as a new phone.
