After upgrading to ios 14.0 (and problem still occurs after 14.0.1), I am having issues accessing my IMAP email server - getting the error 'missing password'. Have checked the settings and the correct password is there... No issues prior to the upgrade.
Anyone else having similar issues?
SMTP is working OK (different account - username & password) - I can send emails, just cant receive them
iPhone SE, iOS 14
After wasting way too much time on this, I have found that if the password for the email address has a full stop in it (so i assume any character would work) then the email address works fine. If the password is only letters I am unable to add the email address.
.... all good if you don't have multiple devices to change the passord on .... not good when you need to change password on lots of devices.
Do you mean connect my phone to a laptop? I’m talking about not being able to get emails on my iPhone. I don’t have a Mac book or anything. I have a windows laptop.

The password error is occurring when the account is configured as an imap account so this is not a solution.
This is the correct answer! Called AOL tech support and he walked me thru this exact procedure.
