Keep getting error message that password is not correct even though I have gone to 'settings' and re-input it more than 3 times!!! I changed my password on Comcast.net. Yes I changed it on my iphone too, and my pc. Only the iphone will not send out email stating the password is wrong. I have changed it twice, and had Concast change it, still not working. Shut the phone off, turned it back on... not working. I hate to delete the email account off the iphone and reinstall.... is there anything else I can do????
Is this At&T, Iphone or Comcast error?

I have a feeling that the issue might be apple. I have a mobile ME account, so i use apple's email.. i have been having this issue for the last couple days... mainly on my macbook pro... my 4S, just didn't download the new messages.....

I didn't change any of my passwords.. Apple may be working on the infrastructure?

What's wrong with trying to delete the account and recreate it? It's IMAP, right? All the mail is stored on the server.
