What if I have tried ALL these steps and Still cannot get email app to work? It keeps telling me the same thing "No password provided" even though I know 200% I have the correct password

You may know it for 200%, but your email provider knows that it is NOT correct. o you and the email provider will have to negotiate.

Hi there I have an iPhone 13 Pro and my email thing on my phone is not sending or receiving. Any time I try to send something it says that my email is typed in wrong but when I’m about to try to send something the email is correct. But after I send it I get an error. When I know it was typed in correctly. And I haven’t received any thing since early last week. And it says I have 8 unsent messages. Can anybody please help me with figuring out how to fix this?

My car doesn’t go. Why doesn’t it? In other words, there are dozens of reasons your iPhone may not be working for email. We need to get additional information to narrow it down, or otherwise post dozens of possible reasons.


First, did it ever work, then stop working? Or did it never work?


What type of mail account or accounts, if you have more than one (such as iCloud, gmail, MS Exchange, MS Outlook, Yahoo, AOL, etc)


Have you changed your email password recently?


Once we get past these we can narrow down the troubleshooting process.

  • What kind of email (iCloud, gmail, Yahoo mail, Outlook mail, AOL mail, etc)
  • Did you change your email password?
  • Go to Settings/Mail/Accounts - are all of your accounts turned on?
  • Did you update your phone recently?
  • Do you use VPN on your iPhone?
  • Do you get mail on your computer?
  • Can you log in to the webmail portal for your mail provider and check for mail there/


These are a few of the possibilities; there are many more, so if you can provide some additional information it might help someone diagnose the problem.

I can’t get my email to download.

There are a lot of possibilities for that symptom, so lets start by getting some additional information:


  • What kind of email account (AOL, Hotmail, MS Exchange, Yahoo, iCloud, etc)
  • Does it work on other devices (PC, Mac, iPad, etc)
  • Has it ever worked
  • Can you send email
  • Have you changed the password for the account recently
  • Do you have 2 factor authentication set up for the email account
  • Is it a POP, IMAP or Exchange account type
