When trying to add email account it says "user name or imap password are incorrect"
Username is correct, what is the imap password? How do I solve this?
The problem is that either your user ID or password is incorrect. You may be entering the username without the domain (@domain.com) and it requires it, or you have included it ([email protected]) and it doesn't permit it. If it's IMAP it's possible that the outgoing mail server has a different password from the incoming. BTW, did you enter the userid and password for BOTH the incoming and outgoing servers? The outgoing is usually required also, even though the iphone says "optional". It's only optional to the phone itself, usually not to the email provider.

I am trying to deauthorize my audible account. It says the user name and/or password are incorrect after I had just deauthorized the computer using the same user name and password and logging in to post this. They should be the same password correct?
Deauthorize Audible Account... always appears as a menu selection, even if you deauthorized Audible or never even had an account.
Audible is a different account from iTunes and does not require the same username / password. -
When trying to add Facebook account to my iPhoto 11 (9.3.1) I get this error message "Facebook didn't recognize your email password combination". Email and passwords are correct. Problems are even with veryfication code which I am asked to use instead of password.
In the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete the account and re-enter it
Or
iMHO the better solution is to set mail as your email client in the iPhoto preferences

Why does my email account keep telling me my username or password is incorrect when it isn't?
why does my email account keep telling me my username or password is incorrect when it isn't?
Sky email is provided by Google now. Have you tried logging in via webmail on a desktop computer? Occasionally Google asks you to verify your account by entering a CAPTCHA which can't be done in a dedicated email client.
If that doesn't help, try removing and then re-setting up the account, following the directions here:

My iphone5 can't open email. Says user name/password incorrect; however, my info has not changed.
Any suggestionsI agree. The iPhone is not saying that your email settings are wrong, it is your email. Please check that your email is working using a computer or something else. If it works then delete your account on your iPhone and set it up again.
I hope that this helps and do please report back. -

trying to set up email on new phone. I have a verizon account email, will not take my address and password says incoming is incorrect
This might help you, I found it really easly with google
The following are the settings for setting up and configuring your email and remote access

Your Verizon Online user name (for example, vzn12345)
Your Verizon Online password (for example, password1)
High Speed Internet (DSL) settings
Domain: dsl.verizon.net
Network protocol used: TCP/IP
Mail server settings
Incoming mail server (POP3): incoming.verizon.net
Incoming Server Port Numbers: 995

Make sure "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" is checked.
Home page/FTP setting
Note: After August 21, 2011, Verizon will no longer allow users to FTP their HTML files to the personal web site. Verizon recommends that current FTP users download their files prior to August 21, 2011 to prevent any data loss.
If you still have FTP created files residing on your Personal Webspace that you need to have deleted off the Personal Webspace server, please contact the HSI or Fios tech support by calling 1.800.VERIZON. These files then need to be manually removed by our server team. You will not be able to remove FTP created files via the SiteBuilder tool; however, files created via SiteBuilder are not impacted by this change and you can continue to edit and delete those files within SiteBuilder.
If you still wish to have a Verizon website, please go to our site builder tool available withPersonal Webspace. Your home page address: http://mysite.verizon.net/username

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Every time I try to add an email attachment in GMX.net for the first time after opening forefox, I click the "search" bar to add a file from my computer and firefox crashes. Sometimes it works after restarting firefox after a crash, but it happens way too often and every time I have to fear that my whole email is gone because of it.
It works OK now. Earlier today I received an email with an attached slide show. I downloaded the slide show, watched it, and closed the email. Afterwards I tried to create an email with an attached photo and it worked!
I used to do Fortran programming on a 7090, but it seems that the home computers containing all sorts of software from who knows where and with who knows what faults, do not always work as they are supposed to. Whatever happened to logical certainty?
Thanks anyway for your help. Jim -
Has anyone resolved the yahoo server unavailable issue with iPad
the issues are on Yahoo's end. They have been updating/upgrading their servers for the past few weeks, and when they are working on the server your mail is on, you will experience outages.
Usually all you can do is just wait it out or try a different way to access. For example I accessed my mail via safari when mine weren't working. -
