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.

That changes things a little bit , login to icloud.com and see if you can find it in your sent folder.
If it is there you did send, just need to wait until you phone syncs "sent folder" perhaps on wifi.
If it is not, then I would say it is lost and you may have to send again. They have 20 megs limit, so make sure that message plus attachment is under that limit.

Why can't I migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore?? (Says incompatible.)

Why can't I -simply- migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore??
(The 4GS says it's incompatible with 3GS iCloud Backups and so it cannot restore them.)
I've had to use a computer with iTunes, but surely iCloud can be used fior this?

You need to update your 4 to newer software to restore from icloud back up, until then you will get incompatible message. So steps are - set up your iphone 4 as new. Update. Erase. Restore from cloud backup. If you update does not take long you should be all set within an hour.

I can't access data from my iPhone 5 when off wifi

I bought my iPhone 5 two weeks ago from Optus, Australia. I loaded up my back up from the iPhone 4, it all seemed ok. However when I was off wifi I had no data access. I replace the SIM card and Apple even replaced the handset. Neither of those helped.
But finally today, I figured it out with some help from Optus.
I backed up the phone, wiped it but did not restore it from the iTunes backup. I treated it like I'd never had an iPhone before. It worked. It appears there was something corrupt in my back up file.
Everything is in the cloud, mail, calendars, contacts etc and of course all my apps were in iTunes along with music, podcasts etc. so I haven't lost anything.
I just wanted to share this in case you're having the same problem.
Cheers
Derek

DO NOT sync your iPhone or all your music will be lost.
Use a music transfer software like Senuti to move your music from your iPhone to yur Computer/iTunes.

I can not synchro. Notes with Iphone 3GS since I have migrated to a macbook pro with OS 10.8. Can you help

IPhone: My IPhone 3GS is with iOS 5.1.1. . I have activated ICloud for Notes (And location of my IPhone only). My Notes are subsequently classified in two groups "ICloud" and "My IPhone".
Macbook pro: I do not succeed to activate ICloud for Notes on my macbook pro with OS 10.8.. WHen I tip on Notes for its activation with ICloud have a message that everytimes tells me - after several seconds - to try later !
I generally synchronize both via ITunes (wifi). There is no longuer any option to synchronize Notes.
Subsequently I can no longuer synchronize my Notes. Could you help me ? Is there any other way than by using ICloud (which I am not so much a fun) ?
Thanks

Even today, 21st Century and all, printing on Unix systems can be somewhat of a black art, and every so often a gremlin or two crawl out of the woodwork. Purging all can make sure no damaged pointers or corrupted caches linger on to make life miserable.
Glad you're peachy now.

My inlaws can't open a video I emailed from my iphone 3GS. They updated their Quicktime player. What could be wrong?

They use Windows. Not sure which version.

I would tell them to try VLC media player
or ask the question in the quicktime forum
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/quicktime
where more quicktimes using people would be able
to answer you in terms of the mysterious ways of maybe
even quicktime for windows

How can I sync contacts from my iphone 3gs to a new gmail account?

I've just set up a new gmail account and want to sync the contacts from my work phone to contacts in my gmail. I have nearly 700 contacts to sync so I'm looking to do this in the easiest (and most reliable!) way I can - any pointers? Or tips on how to make sure I don't lose them all in the process of syncing?!
Cheers,
S

Begin by backing up your contacts as a precaution. You can do this using the free app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email. You send the email to yourself, and can later open this email on you phone and tap the attachment to re-import your contacts if necessary. Once you've done that, set up your gmail account as an exchange account as described here:
http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740. Turn on contacts syncing and when prompted select Keep on my iPhone to keep the existing contacts on your phone from being deleted (step 13).

Why did I receive a request from Adobe Systems Incorporated to change my password?

I received a email from Adobe Systems Incorporated to change my password. I changed my password, then received another email that stated that I had changed my password and the if I did not request the change to contact Adobe System Incorporated.

The same thing happened to me.
Yesterday, when I logged in, I was told that I HAD to change my password which is understandable, because Adobe was recently hacked and nearly three million accounts were compromised.
See: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2425215,00.asp
I changed my password at that time, because I had no other choice.
This morning, I received an e-mail from adobe, telling me that I had to change my password because of the recent hacking, etc. This probably means that whatever automated system they're using to inform members hadn't been updated to take into account those who had just changed their passwords.
In any event, since I had just changed my password--and supposedly Adobe is no longer being hacked--I just left the new password as-is. But, it's probably a good idea, going forward, to change passwords on a regular basis--say once every few months. Most sites tell you to do that.

HT201320 When I access my email from the iPhone, hit "inbox", the new messages appear briefly, but then just evaporate. I can't find them anywhere - not in inbox, not in junk, trash, saved - nowhere. Can anyone tell me what is happening?

When I access my email from the iPhone, new messages appear only briefly and then immediately disappear, before I do anything. Only old messages that were already in my inbox are visible. I can't find the new messages anywhere -- they have not moved to Saved, Junk, Trash, anything. IT is like the iPhone just ate them. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

If you have a POP3 account this means that another "client" email program has retrieved the messages and deleted the messages from the server. You need to change the server settings on that device to leave the messages on the server.
If you have an IMAP or MS Exchange account this means that someone read the messages on another device and either deleted them or moved them to another folder. Or there is an automated script that moved them to another folder.
