Hi @Sarlove

I'd recommend having a look at How to set up Plusnet email - what settings to use to make sure you have the correct settings in your phone. The password may not recognise if you have any other server name set up.

Please check to make sure that you have entered your password in the incoming mail server setting in your account. Go to Settings>Passwords & Accounts>Your e-mail account>Account>Incoming Mail Server Setting. Make sure that the password is correctly entered in that setting.
You can also check your password is correct by logging into Madasafish Webmail

@Ali_A

I think that webmail.madasafish.com is defunct** and that instead https://webmail.plus.net should be used with the appropriate server selected. However I do not know which of the four options should be used for MAAF.

** or at the very least is not responding.

Thanks for the update/correction @Townman

FreeNetName/MadAsAFish users should select PlusNet server, and type in the full email address as the username.
