I keep getting the message : invalid email address on my ipad. My husbands email works fine. I can send email on my desk top with the same email. It is only on my iPad Pro I’m having trouble.

Many email providers now require that you use using App Specific Passwords when using IMAP or POP3 mail Apps.
If affected by this requirement, 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.

Did you set up your account in the iPad Mail app with your provider's settings?
Can you access your email using a web browser?
Most reputable email providers have a webmail portal - that allows access to your email from any computer that has a web browser.
I have no idea. I took my old ipad 2 and went to the apple store and they transferred everything then. That was 3 years ago.
this is a recent problem. Today to be exact.
i am having trouble signing into Opentable.com and they keep sending me emails with codes to get in, but I’m not getting the emails from them. Opentable says i have it blocked. I have a call into comcast to unblock opentable, because I have no idea what to do.
I’m not trying to create a bigger problem.
I have solved my opentable problem.
i went to the apple store to see if they could help. She deleted my account from safari. When she tried to put it back in, it would not allow it. She said it was a comcast problem.
i went to the comcast store and they had no idea how to fix this problem.
i can access my email account thru xfinity.com
i would prefer to access it with the envelop icon.
also i now notice that in my husbands email account the inbox is gone.
All of my problems were solved. Everything is working.
I keep getting the message that my email account is incorrect. I can use it on a desk top and it works. My husbands email works. Where do i go from here?
