How can I fix "email can't be delivered" message on my iPhone and iPad?

On my apple iPhone and iPad I’m receiving a message saying email can’t be delivered because the address is incorrect or unknown I can see where the problem is some how my gmail address was typed in wrong so my mail with that typed error is invalid can’t be sent or received I’ve read so much on this issue but still can’t find how to fix it or what to do to fix it

Troubleshooting iPhone eMails:


A. Go here:


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

Troubleshooting eMail New Errors:

Are you using the gmail app? Or are you using the Mail app?


Use a New App Password for Each Device:

Do you use an App Password? If so, try a new App Password. Create a unique on for each device. Remove the current one, and then use the new one instead. 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).:
