thenavydog, great question! We'd be happy to help out. For starters, what model of device are we working with? Is this a personal or corporate email account? Are you just attempting to update the password? Have you attempted to remove the email account and re-add it to the device?

I have a Samsun SCHU680 Convoy devise.

yes I have tried to set up the correct password and get message that it is invalid.

I removed the original account and tried to set up a new account using the same use-rid and password and am not able to do that either

get same message each time

Well that is very strange, never had that hapoen.  I would contact your email provider and see if they have suggestions.  Mary

Hey there thenavydog!

First, let me ask if you are able to use your PC to get into your email? Please make sure that you are able to do that, then try again on the device. Keep me posted, thank you!

I have no problem with accessing my email from my desk top.

In addition I deleted the account and tried to set up a new on the cell phone and I get the same messages.

What is happening with Verizon ????

Hi Thenavydog,

Thanks for the additional details! What type of email account are you trying to add? (pop, exchange, etc). What software version is your Convoy on? Go to Menu>Settings & Tools>Phone Info>Press SW/HW Version.

Thanks,

Thanks for all the details, thenavydog. You said you tried setting it up on a new cell phone as well. Was that a Convoy too? As you enter the password, can you see the characters the phone is entering? What type (Yahoo, MSN, AOL, etc) of email is it?

Thanks for confirming, @thenavydog!

Have you tried adding the email account with the updated password on a different mobile device?  I would like to see if you experience the same problem on a different mobile device.  Please keep me posted.
