"Invalid Credentials" Message for IMAP Gmail

When I tried to update my Gmail on my phone this morning, I got a message that said "Cannot Get Mail, Invalid Credentials (Failure)". I thought something had happened with the password, so I reentered it, but I got the same message. I deleted the account and reentered all of the email settings and I still got the same message. I've checked the IMAP settings on Gmail and nothing has changed there. I can update this account on my iMac and I can sync another Gmail account my iPhone so it seems there's something specific about this account on my iPhone. Any ideas?

As soon as I posted my question, the account started working again.

On my iPhone 5 I am having a problem sending / receiving e-mails and am receiving the message: the user name or password for "imap.gmail" is incorrect. Despite many attempts I am getting nowhere. Does anyone recognise this problem?

I do not know what imap.gmail is. I have also lost data which was contained on my diary which I believe is linked to the problem. Does anyone recognise this problem?

imap.gmail is the Google mail server. It doesn't recognize the password that is stored in the iPhone. The problem is that the password or email address you have in Settings for the gmail account is wrong. If you changed the password somewhere else that is the reason. You need to go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, tap on the gmail account and enter the correct password. You also need to change it for outgoing mail in Settings.

I cannot get mail or send email on my I pad message says username or password for imap.gmail is incorrect

Be sure you use Google's settings from:
https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960?hl=en&ref_topic=1669040#t s=1665018
The key is to be sure you have enabled IMAP on your GMAIL account. Follow the instrunctions on that link. Then be sure to check the Advanced settings from:

And I keep getting messages that " the username or password for imap.gmail is incorrect

I Have a new I pad and I cannot set up email. I tried 2 different emails and I keep getting messages that " the username or password for imap.gmail is incorrect. What am I doing wrong?

I would delete the accounts and start all over again making sure to follow the instructions here.

Sometimes, you have to go deeper into the settings and check the outgoing mail server setting as well, especially, if you cannot send mail.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional

Login to SGD have a "Invalid credentials" message, why?

My SGD use Microsoft AD to authentication login, connect config is correct, but have a "Invalid Credentials" message when use a user login.
If use the root account login is ok, any other has error.
Why? Connect to AD is correct, DNS is right.
Can you help me?
Thank you.

If you can't login as any user other than root, how do you know your AD config is correct?
Can you share a bit more info on how you configured SGD to authenticate against your AD? What mechanism did you use? What did you do to ensure that you config is "correct"?

Receive multipart message for IMAP protocol

I need receive content of multipart (not plain text) message with IMAP protocol.
this code correct for POP3 and IMAP paintext message only:
Part messagePart=message;
Object content=messagePart.getContent();
if (content instanceof Multipart) {
messagePart=((Multipart)content).getBodyPart(0);
System.out.println("[ Multipart Message ]");
String contentType=messagePart.getContentType();
System.out.println("CONTENT:"+contentType);
if (contentType.startsWith("text/plain")
|| contentType.startsWith("text/html")) {
InputStream is = messagePart.getInputStream();
BufferedReader reader
=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
String thisLine=reader.readLine();
while (thisLine!=null) {
System.out.println(thisLine);
thisLine=reader.readLine();
any ideas?
Thanks.

You will find a better example, which looks at the parts recursively, if you look in the "demo" directory of your JavaMail download. I think it's msgshow.java but there aren't that many to choose from.

I am getting an error message for a GMail account that I may have exceeded the maximum number of connections but........

I changed the max. # of server connections to cache to one as recommended and am still unable to use this account. I also tried to flush my DNS cache but for some reason this also is not functioning. I am using a Macbook Pro. My Zoho account is still functioning normally with T'Bird so it makes me suspect it is a problem with Gmail and perhaps not T'Bird. Thoughts? Thank you.

using other iProduct which to not limit their connections to receive mail, like iPhones and iPads? Turn them off and all will be well.
Tools menu > account settings > server settings >advanced and you can edit the maximum connections Thunderbird will establish with an IMAP server.
Unfortunately the afore mentioned Apple products have no such setting, or at least my last foray into the apple support forums left me believing so. It makes their mail functions fast, but makes playing in the same sand pit as others much more difficult.
Gmail currently has a limit of 15 simultaneous IMAP connections per account. see https://support.google.com/mail/answer/97150?hl=en

Nokia Suite sign in "Invalid Credentials" message

Hi,
Suite version 3.5.34.
I CAN login to my website account
I cannot sign in to the suite and I am copying and pasting the same Username and Password.
I followed all instructions from the Nokia "Live Chat" (re-install suite, confirm credentials, change Password, turn off firewall, scan for virus etc) and was finally told to organise a Proxy.
The suite Help says
Nokia Suite uses Internet Explorer's proxy settings for internet connections except for the proxy username and password. If the internet connection does not seem to work, you can set the proxy username and password manually. To do so, in Nokia Suite choose Tools > Options. Proxy settings are available in the General tab. Contact your IT helpdesk personnel or similar if you need more information.
So I phoned our ISP (Telstra Bigpond cable Australia) and they say I should not use a proxy with their service and that they are not permitted to help with it.
Can someone advise what next, as if explaining to a 7-year-old, pulease!

GOOD NEWS..
I networked another computer to the one that would not work.
I downloaded the suite , installed it and I can login using the exact same details that were failing before.
Not ideal as the newly networked computer is in a less convenient room but I can live with it.
CLUES???   The failed computer uses XP Home and AVG antivirus
                         The successful computer uses XP Prof and Microsoft Security Essentials.
                       Both use Windows Firewall

HT4528 I loaded the iphone update and now my gmail does not sync. I get a message that imap cannot connect. All my setting are the same and correct. Thoughts.

After loading the iphone update, I get a message that imap.gmail.com is not resopnding. All my setting are the same and are correct. My gmail works on my ipad. Thoughts.

Same thing happened to me. Called Verizon, they had me run updates and resync to the local tower (*228, option2). Took about 15 minutes over the phone to correct.

Yahoo Messenger - Invalid credentials?

I'm getting more and more frustrated with Yahoo every day.
I have been using Yahoo messenger 3.0.2 for some time, with no issues. The last few days it is rarely working on my MacBook Pro. I keep getting invalid credentials message. I re-set my password, I can log in to the mail just fine, and use the app in my iphone just fine, but the app on my MacBook just keeps giving me this same error.
I have deleted it and reinstalled numerous times, even downloaded a new installer for it and re-tried. Deleted the preferences files and the caches. Once in a while I can get it to work. But if I close it again, most of the time I get the same credentials message.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to contact Yahoo Messenger for Mac tech support and/or post in their forum.

I cant add my gmail account to my ipod touch. It says wrong username or password is incorrect. Or it will say imap.gmail not available.It worked fine until yesterday.

So i cant add my email to my ipod touch. It gives me a message that my username or password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect. I've reset it and still no luck.

Can you log into your Google mail account on a computer? Try that to be sure your email settings are correct.

Google does inexplicable things from time to time. This may be one of them.

Remove ACI failure: Invalid credentials

# ldapmodify -h hostname -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Password
dn: o=testdemo.com
changetype: modify
delete: aci
aci: (targetattr="dspswuserlink || dspswloop || dspswvalidate")(version 3.0; acl "deny write access to dspswuserlink, dspswloop, dspswvalidate"; deny(write) userdn="ldap:///self";)
modifying entry o=testdemo.com
ldap_modify: Invalid credentials
ldap_modify: matched: o=testdemo.com

It looks like the "Invalid Credentials" message appears after you have submitted the modification. The best explanation I have for this is that your ldapmodify is getting and following a referral, likely to a server with different rootdn credentials.
Depending on the ldapmodify tool you are using, you may be able to prevent it from following referrals. The Sun tool had the "-R" option for this. Using the verbose argument may also give you information about which server you are getting the referral to.

Invalid Credentials when trying to login to iPrint iOS App

I've recently setup a fresh install of the iPrint Appliance 1.1 and installed all security patches.
Original setup was iPrint appliance was SSL but syncing to our edirectory server was not, and I was unable to login with the iOS app. This was in Evaluation mode so I am unsure if the password being encrypted over SSL from the appliance then trying to match on the eDir server not on ssl caused that issue.
However I then installed our license, and configured LDAP sync to be over SSL, but I am still gettin the same "Invalid Credentials" message. That being said, our current license only entitles us to the appliance and iprint desktop, not iPrint Mobile whereas when in evaluation mode you have access to iPrint Mobile.
My question here is, should I be expecting it to say "Invalid Credentials" even though I do not have any iPrint Mobile licenses, or should there be a different message or result?
Thanks!
