Iphone 5 / iOS 6 IMAP issues

This is a strange one, however I see many people are reporting similar issues.
I just received my iPhone 5 last night and I'm unable to access my primary email accounts on the device via IMAP. After entering and deleting my email account multiple, tried with SSL (how I normally do it) and without SSL, etc... it continues to tell me that I'm entering the wrong username and password. (which I'm possitive is correct as I'm able to log in via webmail with no issues.)
My email accounts are run through a cpanel server, I've alternated between courier and dovecot on the server, no change. Mail logs on the server are showing that I'm getting to the server, my AT&T IP, etc... and that the password is being rejected. I'm wondering if it's doing something which the characters of the password when it trys to pass it to the server.
One addtional note, my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 both updated to iOS 6 on Sept 19th with no problems, IMAP is working normally on those devices. The issue is on my iPhone 5 only.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Joe

I had the same problem today with my iPhone5 and the upgrade to IOS 6.1 over my wireless network.  The phone clearly saw the network, just wouldn't accept my password (which I verified in my keychain on my laptop).  I reset the network on the phone per other posts, turned Airplane mode on and off, restored my phone.  Still no luck.  Then I went into my home office and held the phone right next to my airport extreme, and it finally took my password.  Now its connected, with same strong signal it always had throughout my house.  No idea why that worked but not arguing!  Hope that helps.

  • IPhone 5 Calendar Issue: January 1, 1995

    I flew from the Eastern Time Zone into Central Time Zone, which is my home time zone, this afternoon, and tonight my iPhone 5 is telling me the date is January 1, 1995. Can anyone help explain why this is happening, and/or how to fix it? It sometimes switches back to the correct date, but only for a minute or less. I have restarted my phone twice and it has not worked, even when I kept my phone off for over an hour. When the date is January 1st, 1995, I cannot send texts, or go onto the internet, or use any apps using data. PLEASE HELP!!
    Much thanks

    For the same reason my car hasn't got in-dash satnav, leather upholstery or a six litre engine. Because that's how the manufacturer chose to make it. If you are unhappy with the specs, don't buy one.
    There is no information regarding any new iPhone.

  • A list of known iPhone 4S' iOS 6 issues?

    Hello.
    It seems like many people are having issues with iOS 6 upgrade on their old iPhones (not the new 5). Is there a list of known iPhone 4S' iOS 6 issues of them so far?
    Thank you in advance.

    From this discussion   https://discussions.apple.com/message/16977127#16977127  the pairing is reported as possible.
    Pairing of your iPhone with other iPhone was not successfull. May be not done in the right way.
    iPhone pair with many BT devices without any problem.  I have Samsung Headset and they work.
    I would suggest you go the the shop and ask them to try with an head phone or let an Apple store check your BT.

  • IPhone 5s WiFi Issue even with iOS 8.1.1

    I had Problem before with WiFi. Check my Previous topic: iPhone WiFi Speed Issue iOS 8.1
    At certain times of the day my iPhone 5s still have this problem Now Running iOS 8.1.1
    Apple Please don't do this with us! i tried all the ways But there is no result (Changing Router, Reset etc.)
    Should i wait for iOS 8.2 !!!?????

    the issue to the use of Apple’s Wireless Direct Link (AWDL) that is used for AirDrop, AirPlay, and Gaming connections. I’ll go out on a limb and say the WiFi issues are because of Apple’s choice of using Bonjour over AWDL and that, given the constraints of the WiFi hardware, this will be difficult to get right in the first few updates ie 8.1 and 8.1.1 but given time it should be sorted out

  • How to reply from Gmail account using Hotmail address in Mail app in iPhone iOS 6?

    Hello,
    Since the iOS 6 upgrade on my 4 iPhone, the "imap.gmail.com" won't work.
    I had my e-mail set up as "other" and would receive my Hotmail in Gmail using imap, so I could reply using my Hotmail address.
    So I deleted everything and tried again but it still won't work.
    In the mean time, I am using the Gmail App but can't use the Apple Mail app because it won't reply from my Hotmail address, and I do not want to have to choose my reply-to address; I didn't have to before.
    I do not want to use my Gmail address for anything.
    I want to always use my Hotmail address.
    Praying for help! I want to be able to use my Mail app like before!
    Also not sure if the Gmail app is killing my battery, or if the new iOS 6 is....
    Thanks so much.

    I said I want to use my Hotmail ADDRESS only. Not the Hotmail e-mail.
    I check my Hotmail in Gmail. I love how Gmail is set up.
    I've tried deleting and recreating.
    In order to check my Hotmail in Gmail on the iPhone, and reply from my Hotmail address using Gmail, you have to set up your mail on the iPhone using "other" when adding an e-mail account.
    Since the upgrade, it will no longer let me use the "imap" feature and based on my research, it seems like everyone is having this issue.
    Yes, I can use the Gmail e-mail account, but when I reply it'll show my Gmail address and I'd like it to show my Hotmail address WITHOUT having to use a drop-down menu and switch the reply-to address.
    Hope that clarifies.

  • Mail on iPhone iOS 6.1.3 Opens Single Inbox by Default, Not "All Mailboxes"

    Mail on iPhone iOS 6.1.3 Opens Single Inbox by Default, Not "All Mailboxes"
    I have five e-mail accounts linked to my Mail app (an Exchange account, an IMAP account, and three Outlook POP accounts.  Everytime I close the app (close the app meaning double tap the Home button and close it) and reopen it, the Mail app opens the first Inbox on the list.  Unfortunately, it is an inbox I rarely use, the Exchange account.  I constantly have to press back to go to my "All Mailboxes" screen and then select the correct account Inbox from there. Of course, if I don't fully close the app, but rather tap the home button once and reopen it, the app opens where it left off. 
    Is there an easier way to make the app open to "All Mailboxes" screen by default vs. the first account listed alphabetically?  Or, perhaps the app opening the Exchange account because it thinks it has a priority over the IMAP and POP accounts?
    I searched this on Google but all I could find were forums from 2010 that were never answered.
    Thank you in advance!

    Thank you TomJones75.  When I posted this initially, I was running iOS 6.1.3 and not iOS 7.  I don't think editing the order of the inboxes was an option back on iOS 6.1.3.  With your tip, I was able to re-order my inboxes but it still defaults to the Exchange account when opened.
    I.e. first account listed under mailboxes is now an Outlook account and the 2nd is an Exhannge account. Mail still defaults to the Exhange account even though the Outlook is my default email address for the iPhone.
    Good tip though!  Thanks!

  • After upgrading my iphone ios from 5.1.1 to 6.0 i cannot click on wi-fi on/off (it is not highlighted)

    after upgrading my iphone ios from 5.1.1 to 6.0 wverythings seems to work fine.
    until today i was using my wi-fi network to download an application and suddenly wi-fi tirned off and when i went to the settings i cannot click on (on/off) wi-fi)
    it is ot highlighted.
    i searched the web for answers but all answers took me to a dead end.
    now i am stuck with iphone 4s with no wi-fi which is worth nothing.
    a normal nokia with wi-fi is much better.
    any help on how to fic my issue?

    Take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    If those 5 steps don't fix it, the iPhone will need service.

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue continues, contact the carrier to troubleshoot the network connectivity issues.

  • Cant view movies recorded on new iPhone iOS

    updated iPhone 4S to latest version of iOS.  Since then movies recorded on the iphone won't display on Quicktime Pro for Windows XP (black screen, video tracking needle moves normally, and sound plays back, but no video. .  Removed QT Pro, then downloaded and reinstalled QT Pro from scratch on the Win XP pc.  No success.  Old movies recorded under previous iPhone iOS still play fine - only new movies have the video blackout.  Same video files playback normally with opther applications on the Win XP pc (Div

    Your topic is misleading. According to your post, you are not having issues viewing videos on your iPod. The problem is viewing the videos on your desktop using Quicktime. You will be better off posting in the QuickTime for Windows forum.

  • Hi i was wondering, my iphone(iOS 7.0.3) cant sync or cannot be read on my itunes(11.1.3.8) on my windows 8.1. So i was wondering if anyone knew when will windows and itunes be compatible officially? or is there another way to fix without waiting?

    Hi anyone can help? Cause i cannot sync my iphone(iOS 7.03) on my itunes(11.1.3.8) on windows 8.1? I heard that it is because windows 8.1 and itunes 11.1 " ain't compatible. So i was wondering if anyone knew when will they be compatible or is there another method without me doing much"harm" to my itunes or windows? Please your help is most wanted!!!

    I have 8.1 and iTunes and its working. My cloud doesn't so I had to remove the 'sync contacts and calendar to the cloud' and to back to the old say, but I just synced my iPad and iPos (both running 7.0.3) last night and it worked.
    There are features with 8.1 that may be messing things up. For example there's a setting when you upgrade to 8.1 where you can turn off the automatic install of drivers. With devices, every time the iOS and iTunes updates there is a new driver to make your device visible on a computer. If you turn off that auto install then you may have blocked your computer from getting that driver.
    In addition, with iOS7 there came the 'do you trust this computer' which is a choice you have to make on your device. If you tell your device no, then it may have issues connecting to your computer.
