Imap email error on iPad air

I keep getting an error message while trying to setup my imap Gmail and Aol accounts on my new ipad air. The error says user name or password is incorrect but I know for a fact they are correctly entered. How do I correct this?

I just had this with a friends iPad mini, brand new out the box this happened.
The problem they had was that they had 2- Step Authorisation on their gmail account and the ipad isn't set up to recognise this feedback so it just fails. A browswer will return with a dialog box to enter the number that has been text to you.
You can do one of two things.
-- turn off 2 step verification. Not neccesary at all.
-- go to account settings, security , 2 step verification (not sure on that order) and then select add app specific password, give it an alias name so you know the device that it is for. You will be given a random 12 char string. enter that once and done.
Took 5 minutes. You will need a desktop browser , however, i don't think you can access settings this way on a mobile browser,
Good luck

How do I set up imap email account on iPad air 2

How do I set up imap email account on iPad air 2

You do not need to specify the type of account. If its IMAP, when you add the account it will detect that automatically.
Alternatively, you can enter a fake email address and password when adding the account, and wait for the process to fail, you should then get an option at the top to select between IMAP and POP3
You can then change the details of the account to the correct ones.

Cannot send email from my IPad Air

I suddenly cannot send email from my IPad Air. Keep getting message that my email recipient
was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. Don't understand what this means as I have been able to send email before.

Paula, in most cases this message appears when you are sending email from a ISP server not in the pop settings and SMTP settings in your email program.
In example if I send out email from my iPad I must be on my own isp's server to send. I have roadrunner but if I send email out using say Verizon's email server I will get a reject notice.
You did not say what email program you are using but if it is hotmail or yahoo or your isp's email in two of these email accounts there are stand alone apps which work much better than the stock email program on the phone.
If you are using road runner or another ISP email you must get the proper Pop3 (incoming) server settings and SMTP (send) settings from your ISP
You can then just go into the Settings-Mail, Contacts and Calendar section and click on the email account and change to the proper settings from your ISP.
You could delete as you were told but why bother when only the sending and receiving settings need to be entered.
If the settings are correct, on an iPhone it tests the settings. If correct send an email. If incorrect you will need the proper settings from your ISP.
It is actually very easy to do.

TS3899 Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.

Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone. I have deleted account and reinstalled.

Thanks. I got the problem fixed. Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor. It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner. Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail. I checked all the specifics between the three units. It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com to TWC.com. Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics.

From Mail, you cannot. You must sync music to your Music app through iTunes. Though there are other options on what you can do with it if other mp3 registered apps are installed on your iPad.

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.

Import Mail and Contacts, from Windows XP-based Thunderbird Email to New iPad Air

Just got a New iPad Air, and I want to import all of my email & contacts (email addresses) from a Windows XP-based Thunderbird Email program.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you in advance!

Do you have all messages left on the server? Then you can simply set-up your Gmail account as IMAP account.

To import your contacts from Gmail you can use this add-on:<br>

Hello, Rawwong1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try forcing all applications to close and power cycle the device. Once this is done test tot see if you can print.
iOS: Force an app to close
