iPad email Inbox

Has you 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. As examples - AOL, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft all 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.

If you continue to experience difficulties, often the easiest method to resolve Mail issues is to delete and then re-add the email account on your iPad. If you are using an IMAP mailbox, or POP3 mailbox with a normal configuration, all your email remains on your Mail providers email server.

You should be able to easily verify that all your email is safely stored on the email server by signing-in to your Mail providers mail portal using a web-browser.

When you are comfortable to proceed, you can remove your email account from your iPad:

Settings > Mail > Accounts > [Your email account] > Delete Account

Next, close the Settings App - and then restart your iPad:

• On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
• On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

After restarting your iPad, you can re-add your email account to your iPad. If your email provider requires use of an App Specific Password for email, ensure you input this instead of your account password.

Use a New App Password:

Do you use an App Password? If so, try a new App Password. Sometimes, changes (i.e. updates) are made to the device, and then mail server syncing becomes an issue (which is what a new App Password it intended to fix). Go here for gmail: Sign in with App Passwords - Google Account Help - Google
