When fetching mail I have to keep entering my password - HTC Excalibur

I checked off save password in the email account setup. I'm using .mac for my email. Whenever it goes out for my mail it asks me to enter my password, I usually have to enter it at least 3 times before it actually will connect and get my email. Even if I try and send email from this account it asks a few times for my password before it actually sends the email. I've deleted my account and started over, but the same things keeps happening. I just want to fetch my mail with not interaction from me,lol.
When I setup my aol mail I didn't use the AOl from the list of accunts (if I did it would never work), I used imap/pop and it works fine now. It doesn't ask for a password.
My .mac is the most important, anyone know a way to get my password to stay saved? So everytime it gets my mail, or I try to send a mail I don't have to enter my password around 3 times?
Am I the only one experiencing this? Any workarounds?

Got anything odd in your password? Like spaces or punctuation?

no, it's actually the same exact password as my aol account. That never asks for a password, only my .mac asks.

I was able to setup my email on my t-mobile, and now it does not ask me for my password

Incoming e-mail password with gmail

Hey, I set up my gmail on my att tilt2 and when im done and try to check my mail i get a incoming e-mail password screen, i set up my password.

I too am facing the same problem, the email account is yahoo. The "incoming email password" pops up every now and then and is annoying, I have to either click cancel or close this screen dialog. Does anyone know how to go about stopping this pop up.

[Q] Hotmail

Hey guys,
Anyone knows how to sync hotmail with the DHD email app? cuz when i delete mails from the DHD app, it doesn't touch the mail on Hotmail.
Thanks alot.
When you set up account use the following settings:
Type: Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
Username: [email protected]
Password: yourpassword
Server: m.hotmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
That will sync fully with Hotmail including contacts/calandar (optional).
sorry but i think i did something wrong cause it din work. after setting up, i tried to delete a message from the mail app. however it did not delete from hotmail. after i delete via the mail app, i get a new email notification about the email i just deleted. sorry for the trouble but can i get more specific instructions? and how to delete the old account?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I've just given this a try and I can get my hotmail account up, however a couple of things don't seem to be working correctly or differently from the pop settings I previously used for Hotmail:
1) Every time I open my email the screen is blank, it then populates the emails, it does this every time I go back in, it appears like it's re-downloading them, but I'm not 100% sure, when using the pop settings you enter email and the previously sync'd emails are still there.
2) the account keeps re-syncing even though I have the 15 minute option set up rather than the push email (I'll try this option later). Every time it re-syncs it blanks the inbox and re-populates it.
3) once re-populated I can read and delete emails, however after a few seconds (maybe a minute) it re-syncs and all emails are unread, and any deleted emails re-appear.
the settings i'm using are:
Microsoft exchange activesync,
email address: [email protected]
Server address: m.hotmail.com
Username: [email protected] <-- this defaulted to just X, I had to enter the @hotmail.com for it to work
Password, and left a tick in the "this server requires an encrypted SSL connection" box.
There was a box for Domain, but I left this blank.
I'll give push email a try and write again once I have.
I've just tried the push option, and it works a treat!
None of that re-syncing, and my inbox isn't blank / require re-downloading every time I go into my mail.
Deleting emails on my phone now deletes them from my hotmail inbox as well!
Thanks for finding the settings!
Hope this works as well for other people.

Push is the same as putting it on manual in the update schedule right? Trying to do the same on my live account as the i just noticed that new e-mails that i have read via my laptop are being sent to my phone as unread.
Username: [email protected]
Password: yourpassword
Server: pop3.live.com
Use SSL: Yes

Help with google sign in

My wife has an evo but my question is she got a pop up on her phone saying Google sign in and then it goes on to say that you entered the wrong password or your account has changed. Please re-enter your password. And it has the username filled in as her correct username and every time I try to type in her password and hit sign in it says authenticating and then takes you right back to that screen. I have never seen this before. She hasn't changed her password or even messed with anything. I always do everything for her and I go into her accounts and sync and her gmail ACct is of course not working. Anybody know what is going? Why would her password not be working anymore? Thanks for the help.
Ok guys I figured it out. I went to log into her gmail acct on the computer and ot said that there was some suspicious activity on the acct and I needed to enter my phone number to get a code sent. I then entered the code and it prompted me to change my password. I then went to her phone and typed in the new password and it works fine. What was this all about? Google having some security problems?

[Q] email issue after hardreset

So I just hard-reset my phone and I entered my email info (username and password) at the start of my phone. Now it keeps popping back up every 5 minutes or so wanting me to kinda reconfirm them, I get the Username and password. None of my emails will come thru. help?
I just hard-reset again and it still coming up it says "incoming email password, please cheat you username and password and try again"
I know my password is right Ive retyped it 12 times now, anyone have any ideas, I need my email for work!
I just tried my other two yahoo account, all the same thing
Could be your internet provider blocking port 25 (SMTP) or 110 (POP3)? Check what ports are you using in the incoming/outgoing mail server configuration and ask your ISP if those ports are blocked!

Need Help Updating The Password For My Email On My Galaxy Tab S

HELP!! Technophobe.....
Hi, I am useless at problem solving. I have recently changed the password to my email account on my home computer and now my tablet will not receive emails. When I click the email icon it goes automatically to my email account but has not updated them and I'm assuming it's because I've changed my password to the Yahoo account and the same needs doing on my tablet? However, I've tried (I think I've tried) to change it on the tablet to match the incoming server server settings i.e. typed in my email address and new password but it just says 'authentication failed? Someone help please?
Make sure when putting in the details that a capital isn't automatically being added.
