Email IMAP/POP3 settings failing
4.5
The app cannot decide how to download your mail.
Symptoms
- "Settings could not be verified"
- Account setup fails
- Sync error
Possible Causes
- IMAP disabled in webmail
- Wrong server address
- Password error
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Enable IMAP in Webmail
In Gmail/Outlook settings, you must explicitly "Enable IMAP" for apps to work.
2
Check Server Names
Ensure it is "imap.gmail.com" or "outlook.office365.com" exactly.
3
Use IMAP over POP3
IMAP is much better for multiple devices; POP3 is outdated.
When to See a Technician
If you use POP3, your emails are downloaded and often deleted from the server, making them invisible on other devices.
