I can't access my email after changing my password

Yesterday, I changed my passwords to my yahoo and gmail accounts. After my iphone prompted me to update my phone with the new passwords, I did just that. My new password to my yahoo account was accepted, but it keeps denying my gmail password. Has anyone had these issues? I've tried restarting my phone, deleting the email account and adding it again, but was unsuccessful. Can someone help me?!!!

SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transport Protocol. It's used to sending email. This would be a server that your ISP or mail provider defines. POP or IMAP is usually the protocol used by your mail provided to receive email.

Can't access iCloud email after update to 10.7.4

After updating to System 10.7.4, I can't access my iCloud email account on any of my devices (computer and iPhone 4S). The servers are not recognizing my email password, which is the same as my Apple ID password. I can log in to iCloud using Safari and access all of my other information (contacts, etc.), but not email.
I tried going to Keychain Access and found that my old MobileMe password was correct (now my iCloud and Apple ID password), but the "application password" associated with my email account (which is now my iCloud email account) had been switched to a long string of nonsense. I tried changing that string to my actual apple ID password, but the system changed it back to the nonsense string. What's going on here???

I've seen others having problems with a server being down, but I've had no problems yet. And all email providers have problems from time to time. I expect Apple is having minor problems with the transition from MMe to iCloud and I expect it to become stable, even though I've seen few problems.
From my experience, it's been more stable than gmail or att.net. Do what makes you comfortable and no reason not to have both in case one fails.
Unless you're a very unlucky person on a bad server, it may just be a setup issue. Try signing out of iCloud, delete iCloud accounts left in Mail. Delete any password associated with iCloud or MMe or .mac in Keychain for applications, not the website password. Verify your Keychain is OK after with Keychain First Aid.
Then sign back into iCloud and let the server set up the Mail account. The only thing you have to do is check the box to use Mail and iCloud does the account setup. If it doesn't work, then it's a server issue.
As of right now, iCloud system status reports no trouble in the US.

TS3899 Can't access my email after restore and iOS upgrade

I restored my iPad -which wiped out my email accounts - and upgraded t latestt iOS
I re-entered my email account properties but now I can't receive or send email any longer. Error states it can't access the pop server.
I've checked account settings are same as iPhone and pc which are accessing email just fine
Help to troubleshoot / fix appreciated
Thx
Rob

The easiest thing to do is to restore from backup if you have one. The backup will continue the email settings. Do you have a recent backup?

How do I get my gmail account unlocked, it has been hacked and even security questions changed. I can't access the account to change the password.

Someone used one of my two gmail accounts to send emails to both of my gmail accounts and one of my yahoo accounts - using all my contacts on the three accounts - saying I was in Scotland and needed money, please send it. I have changed the password on my other gmail and the yahoo accounts but the email account used to send that message to all my contacts I can no longer access, appear to be locked out. Even the security question is different than the ones I established. A friend did respond, was emailed back that I as at the Raddison Hotel in Edinborough and he called that hotel to be told I was not registered there. So - what do I do now? I've been told by yahoo that is it a browser problem. I have not heard back from google. Help!

I gave in and am now using IMAP but I still find the behaviour a bit wierd...

Can't access Skype Credit after changing email acc...

I changed the email address linked with my Skype Account a few months back. After that I have lost access to my Skype Credit. How do I go about retrieving my old Skype credit? Also, is there a Skype support email id I can contact?

Hi autobull,
You may try to call the support (they seemed to be quite much aware of the problem - password management between Ovi and Yahoo is veeery fragile), or then try to contact bretj in this forum. He sorted it out for me, but I think support would have done it also - sooner or later.
Lesson learnt: never change your Ovi password.

Can't Access old email after new mail comes in

computer running 10.3.9

all the messages come back with an error " The message from (sender) concerning (subject) has not been downloaded from he server. You need to take account online in order to download it."

Is there anyway for me to change my iCloud password when the email associated with it has been banned and i cannot access the emails to change my password.

i need help to see if there is anyway to change my icloud password when the recovery emails are being sent to an email that i no longer have due to microsoft terminating it. The i cloud account is different to the apple id that is being used on the phone and does not allow me to back up or load a backup for my phone as i have to put in the icloud password which i cannot remember. I have tried to factory reset the phone to see if that will wipe the icloud account from the phone to set it up as a new phone but it seems to be permanently 'logged in' even time i try to set it up as a new phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is becoming very annoying and means i cannot use the phone to back anything up so that the phone can be wiped so it can either be given away or sold.
Thank you in advance.

Contact Apple and speak to someone in account security.

Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

You will have to use your once a year option to deauthorize All. See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.

Switching account to new computer can't access old account w/changed email

I'm trying to access my itunes account on a rarely used pc that was used for my ipod and authorize my account on a new computer. My itunes account had my old email address and I forgot the password, so when I try to access the account and answer the security questions to send a new password, it ends up offering to send it to my old email address which is no longer valid....how can I access the account to change my email, and de-authorize my old computer and get my music etc. synched with my new one?....maybe I can just set up a new account on the new computer and dump my music from my ipod to it?

To remove the iCloud account you need to delete it.
Settings > iCloud > scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Acccount

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.

Why does iPhone/Ipad still sync email after changing Exchange\Windows Server AD password !?

Has anyone noticed this issue before? A user changes their office network password but it takes anywhere from 2 days to more than a week before the iPhone notices and prompts the user to enter their new password. But not only that, users can still access their e-mail account and send and receive e-mail with their old password.
We are using MS Exchange 2010. Other phones like samsung galaxy and nokia e72 immidiatly prompt for a new password, after changing the password on the windows machines.
Please help.
Marc

I would recommend as soon as you restore the iPad go in and delete the exchange account from your device. It may have a cached entry causing the wipe command to continue to execute. You may ultimately need to restore it without the backup and set the account up again.

Can't log in (Mac OSx 10.6.6) even after changing the password 8 times!

Not happy.I can't believe how hard it is to get support from Spotify for a service I am paying them for! Having to trawl through chat rooms is not customer care! Basically, I can't log into Spotify even after changing my password. I am at work but the tech bods say it should work fine (always has done until now). I just need someone to let me into the service I am paying for!If anyone see's anyone from Spotify hiding anywhere, please let me know.

If I follow that link you just sent me and use my email address for the username (I don't have/ can't remember my username) and put my password in it doesn't work. If I use my email and password to log in (using the link sent to my email to reset my password) it logs in fine. It doesn't recognise password on the Spotify App
