Why does the iPad keep saying I cannot send or receive email because the username and password are incorrect when they both are correct?

Troubleshooting iPhone eMails:


A. Go here: If you can’t Send eMail on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


B. Add the eMail Account Back.

See if it all syncs when you add the eMail Account back. If it is on a Mail server the it should pop up. It may take some time, if you have thousands to download.


C. 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). For example, you'd go here for gmailSign in with App Passwords - Google Account Help - Google
