Aug 3, 2014 9:46 AM in response to k_ballardby Sparychess,Hi,
My email on my iPad with Imap settings of Gmail and the Settings on the iPad are not working right because before it was working right with imap connecting to gmail email on my iPad with the Apple Mail app. I have an error that keeps coming up every time I try to get it right it doesn't work. So what am I doing wrong cause I really want to get the settings right on the gmail website and the settings on my iPad that I'm doing wrong! Thanks
P.S. I hope I explained it enough if not let me know and I will try more! But I think I got it right!

The "Internet Accounts" and "Mail>Preferences>Accounts" offer two separate access points for the same accounts, but the problem that is occurring is not a result of these not syncing with each other. In fact it is a result of your account having separate storage for IMAP and SMTP passwords.
When you create an app-specific password for Mail on google, it tells you to go to accounts and enter the password in the IMAP section. It does not mention, however, how to set this password for the SMTP server. To do this, go to the "Outgoing mail server (SMTP):" section of the accounts page and select "Edit SMTP Server List..." from the drop down menu. Select the server you plan to use, then enter your application specific password in the "Password" field. You must do this every time you change the IMAP password because changing that does not automatically update the SMTP password.
