IPhone complains about email password for non-existent account.

I upgraded from my 1st gen iPhone to a 3Gs the other day.
Now when I try to send email, I get an error stating that "Cannot Send mail.no password provided for "iat""
link to the screenshot.

I've not had an "iat" email account on my phone since before September 2008, and even then, it was never set up properly as the mail-server wasn't allowing IMAP connections from outside, so it was deleted before it was working.
My default SMTP server is my own server, on it's own domain (vehentis) and my secondary is my work email server. Nowhere in my mail settings does the word IAT even appear.
Anyone got any ideas?

The account has been completely deleted, yes.
I don't syncronise my email accounts in iTunes, as I have my own IMAP email server and run thunderbird on the macbook. I don't, however, recall seeing any email account settings at all within iTunes.
My email accounts are set to check on a 15 minute basis, and I'm often checking both accounts more frequently than that.
As for power-cycling the phone, I received it on Tuesday. Activated it and set it up from a backup of my old iphone which had been taken on Friday, and it's been reset twice since then. It's rarely powered down as it sits in the desk cradle at work, in a cradle on my bedside table at night, and is in my pocket the rest of the time.

Hi StuNYC,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

Passwords for non-existent email addresses?

Just changed computers and now can't transfer some apps that were bought on a different Apple ID and can't remember the password. Can't get the password resent as they want to send it to an email address that no longer exists? How can I get the password? How can I get those apps onto my computer?

It all depends on your setup.
If you use only local mail domains, just make sure you do not have a catchall address (luser_relay) and messages to unknown users will not be accepted by Postfix in the first place.
If you use virtual mail domain, you will need to change your setup as Apple's default setup will always accept mail for unknown users and then bounce it back to sender. See here for a how to: Making Virtual Mail Users in OS X 10.4/10.5 Server

Icloud stucked on verifying of non-existing account

HI
I am pretty amazed how can icloud be stucked like this.
My nephew, 16 years girl, by mistake have entered wrong non-existing
email adress for icloud-apple id.
instead ......@gmail, she entered [email protected]
ANd icloud some how have accepted and start to ask all the time
PAssword and verifying account with pop up window on every 3 second, not letimg you
TO work anything else and so annoying.
WE have try to erase account in icloud settings, but find my iphone was already on
and was keep asking password for not existing and not verifyed account.
For the story, to be more stucked, we have made Erase all settings and data, but after initial
start up screen have stucked on asking user and password for non existing account.
I really dont know how to solve this problem, please help me....

Sounds like 3 issues you have
1)You do not want users to check content into accounts which they have named? Can you use only predefined accounts and turn the accounts field into being a select not select and edit?
2)Account permissions are hierarchical so if you have RWD to account 'documents' then you will have at least those permissions in documents/tim documents/sam documents/<whatever>. Also do you have permissions assigned to 'all accounts'
3)You do not like the way that accounts performs its hierarchy calculation based on substringing. Too bad I think that is just the way it works. best practice would dictate that root accounts and permissions are not assigned to very commonly occurring patterns unless you want the permission inheritance.

I have bought an used Iphone 5. I dont have the password for the existing login id of the old owner. How do i use the phone and change the log in id?

Unfortunatly the only way that you can get it off is to get the old user to input the password. You may need to contact that old user and see if he can put the old password in. hope this helps.

I am trying to backup my iPhone but the email used for my Apple ID has been deactivated so I can no longer log into my account or back up my iPhone. How do I back it up otherwise? Or how do I change my email?

very frustrated iphone user !!

Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID.

Also this began happening the same time my Yahoo mail account was hacked which resulted in my mail program (on mini) to fail. It crashes on startup.
Thanks

Thanks Steve that did it on my iPad. It was the yahoo account. Im beginning to think that Yahoo is dangerous. It was the hacking of my Yahoo mail account that started these problems. My mail account on my mini still does not work. I posted the problem here and got real professional advice but to no avail it still doesnt work and I cant re-install the OS because Im in China and their Great firewall keeps the net too slow.

Where can I make a complain about customar service for Verizon Wirless?

I want to make a a complain about customar service for Verizon Wirless, yet it seems impossible to find a form or an email address, this is really frustrating. I am abroad since june 2013 yet I am still being charged for something and each time I call Verizon I am told the payment is going to be delayed. Each time it never is and I have to make additional 5 phone calls for somebody to take down the payment. This time I was told if I pay my $100 due amount, I am going to be billed $50 and in few days payment will go down to $20, so my total balance will be $20 to pay. On the phone I asked a supervisor 5 times if that is acuurate and he said yes. Of course the bill of $50 never went down and calling Verizon Wireless I just heard that although phones are recorded there is nothing they can do about what that representative told me. I was mislead yet again, If I knew it's $150 I would prefer close my contract with Verizon. Never again I am going to be a Verizon customer, if misleading customers is a way at Verizon I do not want to be customer.

Changing passwords for 800 + existing users.

Hi, Hope people reading this list can help with this.
Start of a new school year here and our local education office has generated new passwords for our existing students. I use Passenger to import new users and their passwords onto the server from the supplied spreadsheet. Can I also use Passenger (or some method within workgroup manager) to import just the new passwords for the existing users? I would prefer not to have to delete the users and then re-import them from new files.
Thanks
Anthony O'Brien

Hi,
If you are using Passenger to import new users, I presume you are using an LDAP connection to interface with OD. In which case you could just construct a script to do a batch import of the password field. If you are using Rails or Ruby this could be done with a Rake task or independently.
On the OD side you can import passwords into OD in clear text but it has to be done following the formatting rules provided in the CommandLine_Adminv10.5 document p. 123.

I get the following message every time I open my contacts on my iphone or iPad : "Password Incorrect. Enter the password for the Exchange account "Exchange"". If I enter my password, it does not accept it. I don't even know what it means.
