Has AT&T, your email provider, switched to using App Specific Passwords? If so, you will need to generate a unique password for your iPad email account - that will differ from your normal Account Password. Other examples are AOL, Yahoo and Google - all of which use App Specific Passwords when using anything other than their own email client Apps.
If you need to generate an App Specific Password, you’ll need to log-in to your Mail Providers account management webpage - using a web browser - and generate the Password from the appropriate account security page. You then use the App Specific Password when setting-up the account using the set-up wizard.
If you need to modify the account password after email account setup, you will need to update both the SMTP (send) and IMAP (receive) password setting.
