Hi
I had a power failure 2 days ago, my computer is running again, but now I cannot send email from my iPad using Cox or my gmail account. I am receiving mail in my Cox account but not my gmail account.It was working fine until the power failure. It keeps telling me, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I have not changed anything. I don't know what is wrong. Can anyone help me? Thanks

I agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end.

TS2621 when I tried to access my mailbox I get the message "The user name or password for Gmail is incorrect" I don't see an error.

Why would I get a message saying "The user name or password for Gmail is incorrect" when I see no error?

TS3899 When i check my email I get the message "Cannot Get Mail. The user name or password for "Gmail" is incorrect". The user name and password are definiately correct, I can log on through safari. This worked fine this morning!

My gmail account has stopped working on my iphone, saying the user name or password is incorrect, but both are definitely correct. I have tried restarting the phone, deleting the account and setting it up again, and checked that I can log on through safari. It had been working fine until this morning! Any ideas how to fix this?

Turn off 2 step authentication on your gmail account in a browser. It should work fine afterwards.

ARE YOU GETTING THIS MESSAGE ? Gmail error "The user name or password for Gmail is incorrect"

RESETTING GMAIL ACCESSIBILITY ALL DEVICES
IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO FIRST ESTABLISH ON EACH DEVICE THE Gmail Password
AFTER
passwords have already been established in all above devices
THEN GO HERE
https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
take it from there
THEN WITHIN 10 MINUTES GO TO EACH DEVICE (iPhones,iPads) and sign in to Gmail

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.

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

TS3899 Cannot get mail the user name or password for Suddenlink is incorrect

I have not once had an issue with this. I have not changed my password or anything. I have the iPhone 4. All of a sudden, the message error pops up that says " Cannot get Mail" The User name or Password for Suddenlink is incorrect. Please help!!!!!!

All customers should now have the ability to send and receive email through Suddenlink’s email service, and the vast majority should have full service, including access to all mail, folders, contacts, and settings. We will continue working until the remainder of customers have full email service restored. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we continue to work to restore full email service for all customers.

Why is my mail saying "cannot get mail - user name or password for Gmail is incorrect" but on the Gmail app there is no problem. I have checked the settings and everything seems to be ok

Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now I get a messege saying the user name or password for verizon is incorrect on my iPad but is fine on my home computer what's wrong with my ipad

Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now getting messege that says the user name or password for verizon is incorrect yet my home computer is fine only have this od my iPad

I experienced same problem tonight and called Verizon technical support and they walked me through the settings on iPad. Took about 5 minutes. Basically it involved changing incoming.verizon.net to pop.verizon.net and changing outgoing.verizon.net to smtp.verizon.net. But it's worth the call to ensure other settings are OK. Evidently, change at Verizon was effective today!

HT1430 I can not open my email. A box comes up stating- CAN NOT GET MAIL, The user name or password for "Hotmail" is incorrect, I never have to use a password on my IPAD. What is going on?

I Can not open my email, Never had this problem... Message says: CAN NOT OPEN MAIL, The user name or password for "HOTMAIL" is incorrect.
What is going on???????

Check your email settings (on your iPad) for that account and make sure the username and/or password are correct.

Keep getting error message "user name or password for aol is incorrect". I have reset both username and password and still can't get my mail. This problem only seems to exist in the evening.

reset the password to re confirm that that isn't the issue

I'm getting the user name or password for icloud is incorrect. Everything was good until I changed my apple id pass word

I had to change my apple id password and now I'm getting the user name or password for "icloud" is incorrect.

Hi Ed,
I experienced a similar problem too. It happened overnight a few weeks ago after 11/19.
I got a pop up message, saying that my password needed to be reset.
So I reset my password, and ever since, I have not been able to read/send email from my icould @me.com acct.
Now I get the error: "The user name or password for "icloud" is incorrect" on my iOS devices, though it is correct enough for access my iTunes account and to log into http://icloud.com.
Interestingly enough, the issue seems to be related to the email only, since I cannot access icould email from the website either. It instead creates an error dump.

Tapping on mail brings up notice: cannot get mail the user name or password for gmail is incorrect. Have to press ok, but never lets me sign in. How can I sign in again?
