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 am having a problem sending/receiving e mail messages on my iPhone 5 and cannot access my account. The message I am receiving is: The user name or password for "imap.gmail" is incorrect.
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.

TS3899 Message keeps appearing " cannot get mail, ID or password incorrect" but getting email just fine

I recently upgraded to IOS 5, as well as connected to a cable network instead of dsl, updated iTunes and sync'd my iPad to my Windows XL and got on board with iCloud. Now I keep getting a message that says, " cannot get mail, user ID or password incorrect" with options of choosing OK or going to settings. If I choose the settings, it brings me to account info with my email address and password ( dots) Then if I erase the password and put it back in, it says it's incorrect and if I save it, I may not receive or send mail. If I go directly to my account from the settings icon, and erase my password there instead, and then re- enter it, then it verifies it. Regardless of anything I do, the same message keeps popping up and is very annoying, as well as interrupting. What's wrong, please?

Thanks for answering, but I should've clarified... The message keeps popping up every couple of minutes. Sometimes as soon as I click OK, it comes back again. I tried deleting the account and re-entering it again, but that didn't work. I tried resetting my iPad by holding both the on and the off switch down until the apple appears...still no help. I went to my PC, and logged into my account and viewed my email without any problem. Is this a problem with my iPad or Yahoo? I called a Yahoo line, and was told I had reached the wrong extension, since it was a line for technical assistance only, and then he hung up. What can I do next?

Setting up mail get this message"password incorrect"

I am trying to set up my gmail account onto my ipad I followed the instructions per app start. Now I get thie same message password incorrect. I enter my passwrds and this message still shows up.

I've never seen this particular warning, but it's important to note that passwords for e-mail are always sent insecurely unless you are able to connect via SSL. You can set Mail to connect via SSL in the advanced account settings, assuming that your mail provider (AOL) allows such a thing, which some do not. Even if the password is sent encrypted, the rest of the e-mail is not, so you should never send any confidential information via e-mail, any more than you'd put it on a postcard.

I can not sign in to my live mail and every time I get the" incorrect password " message.

Hi, I am trying to open my live mail but every time get this message "incorrect password please sign in again". I will appreciate if anyone knows the answer to this.thanks

Hello there, Ruby_01.
Being able to to send and receive email is definitely an important feature of the iPhone. The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for troubleshooting your issue:
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3899
Particularly:
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: TapSettings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

How do I stop the message "user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2 times in a row when i try to get mail from other accounts? thank you in advance

How do I stop the message "Cannot get mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2-4 times consecutively every time I choose MAIL on my iPhone 4, 7.1.1 I have to select "OK" 2-4 times each time before I can read other email accounts. I used to have an "@me.com" account which I think was automatically changed to an "@icloud.com account." I opened a new iCloud.com account yesterday because I could not figure out how to get in the old ones. I want to delete the original @me & original iCloud account. When I try to delete the account, they tell me my DOB is wrong. I just want those pop ups to stop. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Suzanne,
It sounds like you’re running into a password issue with an older Apple ID that’s setup on your iPhone, which is preventing you from removing an iCloud account from your device. Take a look at the article linked below, it outlines all of the possible ways to change an Apple ID password.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
After you enter your Apple ID, there are three ways you can change your password:
Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
So long,
-Jason

Try Restarting / rebooting your Mac before doing anything more drastic..

I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected. It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message). I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

Hello there dinadinadina,
It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

From your description it sounds like your Hotmail account was compromised. Does anyone else know the password and could they have changed it?

I cannot receive mail and I get a message saying cannot get mail,username or password is incorrect.

I cannot receive and send mail. A message appears with username or password incorrect. I have checked these and they are correct.

Delete the account, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe! And then renter the username etc.
