Q: I have tried for over 2 hours in trying to set up an email accout and followed the directions. I keep getting same error message over and over again. Invalid use rid or password

What kind of email account is it?

Since the title of your post says " ... invalid use rid or password ...",  I suspect the issue is some illegal mix of blanks and/or special characters (e.g., punctuation) in either your user ID, password, or both.

Be very careful you are following the rules for what constitutes a legal user name and a legal password.

Can you log into the email on a computer using the same credintials? Have you tried changing your password from your email provider's website?
