Q: Changed my AT&T password and now get the "Cannot Get Mail" error message.  How can I force the box to appear so I can enter the new password? Or, what else should I do?  Thanks!

I changed my AT&T password for Yahoo on the desktop.  Now, mail won't update  on my iPhone 5 and I get the error message "Cannot Get Mail".  What to do?  Thanks!

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1

    Go into the Settings app, then to Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

     

    In here, you'll see your Yahoo! account. Tap on it, then tap on the portion where your email appears

     

    You'll see a bunch of black dots covering your password for security, but if you tap on your cursor there, you should be able to back-space it out, then hit save.

     

    Test the results by sending an email to yourself; this will test sending & receiving all with one message!
