You may have to enter the password in two places.


For incoming mail go to Settings>Passwords and Accounts>Your E-Mail Account>Account (under IMAP at the top)>Incoming Mail Server>Password.


For outgoing Mail - Outgoing Mail Server (this may be under password>SMTP>Primary Server>Password (under outgrowing mail server)
