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.
Bob
