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

  • HT1277 How can I add a second email account to my "Mail" tab on iMac?

    All I have managed to do is add a Smartmail box, but that just specifies folders in my yahoo. I want to check my google email using the same icon. Setting both up on my iPhone was super simple, but for the life of me I can't figure it out on my mac.

    Hello,
    On the Mac, in Mail's menu>Preferences>Accounts tab, click the tiny  plus icon & add your account.

  • Can't add any new email account - Bug with Ios 6.1.3?

    For unknown reason, I can't add any new email account, I get stuck with when I have entrered my email address and password. In fact, the system says " checking" but nothing is happening. Do you have any idea?
    Somebody proposed me to reset Safari which I did with same result.
    I have two Iphone and 1 Ipad and I have exactly the same problem on all of them.

    I finally found the reason, it was linked with my email suffix which was a shorten version. When I put the long one, my email address has been recognized. The strange things is the fact, I have set up earlier the same account in pop instead of imap without any issue. I need to fight with the server name too as my standard incoming server was not recogized on imap (no reason as it works with other system). However, I found my way and it works.
    Thank you for your help. Maybe my demand will help somebody else.

  • How do I add a second email account in ICloud mail

    How do I add a second email account to my iCloud mail, like a POP account?

    I talked with Apple and they have taken away the ability to check other email addresses on iCloud like you could in MobileMe via POP or whatever.
    Not sure why I would use iCloud if I can't check all of my email there, and I'm certainly not going to configure four POP accounts on my phone, my laptop, ipad, and work computer...
    Bummer...I'm going back to Gmail.

  • My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    There is no reason to add a second iTunes account to the iPad unless your sons want to use their own credit cards for purchases and somehow I don't think is the case here.
    Anyway.... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap that ID and sign out. Then tap sign in and tap Create new Apple ID.
    If your sons sync with one iTunes library on a computer, it can get a little confusing with two IDs. If either of them has their own iPod and they have been sharing purchased content with the one Apple ID, it gets a little more complicated as well with two IDs.

    Hi There,
    It seems that you have only downloaded .exe file. You need to download two file .exe and .7z and put it in a same folder and then try to run .exe

  • Can I add my icloud email account to my phone if my phone is not an iPhone?

    I do not have an iphone but I have a basic smart phone, however we just bought a new Mac desktop that has the icloud email service.  I was just wondering if I could add my iCloud account to my phone without my phone being an Iphone.

    You can add your iCloud email account to your phone by using these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.  While these apps aren't free, if your phone is an android, you could also look into using SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts and SmoothSync for Cloud Calendars to sync your iCloud contacts and calendars.

  • Can't set up second email account

    Hi: I have two email accounts - university and personal. The personal is a POP account and I use yet another email account for SMTP it it doesn't block Port 25 - suppose I could use gmail for outgoing. Everyting works as it should for it is plain vanilla and I don't have need for Push.
    Then try to set up the second email account which is IMAP. The first few times it likes my IMAP account part but didn't like my SMTP for I forget to insert the correct SMTP password. Hadn't remembered that PB thinks it will be the same password for both. Finally got it all sorted and hit save. The little green circle goes around for ever and no account gets set up. Switched off, restared the PB and tried again without mistakes this time!
    Little green circle forever. Sigh.
    Any ideas please?
    Thanks.
