  • My iphone 4s is saying "cannot get mail" The username or password for "Btinternet" is incorrect

    My iphone 4s is saying "cannot get mail" The username or password is incorrect.
    I did reset my password yesterday on my main computer but tried on my iphone and now can't get mail ?

    Hi Cherie,
    I had EXACTLY the same problem for more than two weeks, that was NOT solved by speaking to BT 'Tech Support' - they kept saying that the problem was the fault of Apple - untill I finally got some help from them today (Mon 7th Oct).
    The error message I got - despite ALL settings on my iPhone(5) and iPad(4) being absolutely correct - was this:
    'Cannot Send Mail', 'The username or password for SMTP: ***********@mail.btinternet.com is incorrect'
    The only solution I got - eventually - from BT is to delete the above account fro the device and 're-install' it again, but THIS time use the 'Yahoo' option from the list of choices rather than 'Other'.
    When I did this and entered the relevant Name, E-Mail Address, Password, and Description (you can call the account whatever you like), I selected 'next', then I got the word 'Verifying.......' appear after a few seconds, and then I saw the four 'blue tick marks' appear next to my entries.
    These 'blue tick marks' confirm the verification that your details are correct.
    The next time you open your e-mail client on your iPhone or iPad you shoud see your ****@btinternet.com e-mail account in the list of e-mail accounts on your phone (if you have more than one) with a Yahoo icon next to whatever name you chose to call it. If you already have a Yahoo! account (like me) it is probably a good idea to call the 'BTYahoo' account, BT or something, rather than keep the default 'Yahoo' name otherwise you will have two with the same name in your accounts list.
    You SHOULD eventually get back ALL the e-mails that were previously in your inbox, as well as some 'extra' folders that you probably did not have when you first set up the account on your iOS device.
    That is what happened when I reinstalled my account, so I hope this works for you.

  • I am getting this message in my mail, user name or password for ICloud is incorrect

    I am getting this message in my mail, user name or password for ICloud is incorrect

    Apple are currently trying to get less secure passwords updated. They require that your account passwords are at least eight characters long and contain both alpha and numeric characters and at least one upper case alpha character.
    You might try changing your account password to match these requirements.

  • Whenever i turn on ipad mail i get a message cannot gt mail the connection to the server failed

    when i turn on ipad mail it says cannot get mail the conenction to the server failed

    I had connection to my email last night when I went to bed. When I woke up this morning, my "hotmail" account wouldn't connect to the server. My other emails are fine but I cannot get my email to connect to the server. I called microsoft and asked and my email works on my computer but it's the strangest anomaly that my email of all days stops working now. I need it so bad to do work. I've already tried deleting the email and resetting it up twice but I just don't know what to do.
    Thanks,

  • My iphone wont send my mail.  It says the username or password for Yahoo is incorrect.  I double checked and they are both correct.

    My iphone wont send emails

    Enter your user name and password in the Outgoing Mail Server section of the Mail Account even if it says that is optional.
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > your Email Account > SMTP > the Server name > Add your User Name and Password.

  • I keep getting a message "cannot send mail" a copy has been placed in your outbox. The recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying

    I keep getting a message "cannot send mail" a copy has been placed in your outbox. The recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. How can I fix this error so I can send emails.

    The issue definitely sounds like your Outgoing/SMTP settings need to be changed.  Simply set them to the proper settings for your provider as was suggested above.
    I found this link for Knology:  http://support.knology.net/content/email.setup.cfm
    The SMTP settings can be edited on the iPad/iPhone by going to Settings--> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, edit the account having trouble, click the Account, then at the bottom is the SMTP server info, click on it to edit it further.
    It should allow you to edit the primary smtp server and let you enter all the good stuff as you see in the Knology link above.
    Some providers require you to register your account on their service like AT&T.

    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

  • "cannot get mail" The username or password is incorrect?

    "cannot get mail" the username or password is incorrect?

    I got it going again... What I did was recreate my iCloud "[email protected]" email address through the "advanced" method on the ipad.
    So, it was  Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Then went manual from there on out. (Didn't use the suggested email address and created my own.)
    I created a NEW me.com email address. Nobody had my old one, so it's just as well... This may not work for some people...
    ..and thanks for your reply Souad H...
    All the best!!
