Error message; cannot get mail connection to server failed

I keep get an error message when I try to open my email... Cannot get mail, connection to server failed. I haven't made any changes except upgrading. What should I do to fix this?

tboneman and Isabeau:


Changing your password in the place tboneman specifies may only be half of it.


You should also go to Settings > Mail > your account > Outgoing Mail Server > Primary Server > Password and update the password here if there is one. This password is for outgoing mail, the other for incoming.
