How do I log into “Mail”

I’m trying to add my email to the Mail app, but when I put in my address and press next, it just says “verifying” and then goes back to where I enter my info. Sometimes is asks for the password too, but even then it still does the same thing. How do I log into my email?

Impossible to sign in to Apple Mail on iPad using iPad Air 3 with padOS 16.5.1 (c) After changing my iCloud password, I'm having trouble with my Apple Mail app on my iPad. When I opened it today, I was greeted with a series of screens designed for when you haven't created an email account: 1. open Mail, get "Welcome to Mail" screen with account choices (iCloid, MS Exchange, Google, etc) 2. Select "iCloud", window pops up (see first image) to enter iCloud email address 3. I enter my iCloud email address, tap "Next" 4. Box for password appears, I enter my password, tap "Next" 5. "Verifying" message pops up (see second image) 6. stops verifying, and we go back to step 3 above and I'm in an endless loop. Of interest: Apple Mail works fine on my iMac. Any helpful ideas for getting out of this loop and regaining use of Apple Mail would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you, Tod

can't add new mail account How do I add a new Mail account when the authenticated step isn't working? It takes me to the browser, I've tried Safari and Brave, and the screen is just blank. This means I can't authenticate the Mail account. The reason I had to delete the account was email content wasn't coming through. I've been on phone with Apple for over an hour trying to rectify - still nothing. I'm so frustrated and annoyed, especially as you can't even go on store for help. I've wasted days over this and still nowhere!

Unable to add SBCglobal email to apple products I've seen in previous threads there have been similar errors with trying to add an email account to the Mail app on an iphone. I have the latest IOS (16.0) and am trying to set up my SBCGlobal email account through the Mail app. The message/prevent that keeps popping up states: No password provided for "Sbcglobal" (which is the description being used for the email account i'm trying to set up). Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password. My correct password for the SBCGlobal email was entered, but it's not being recognized as such. A link with info to address this issue was provided in Feb 2022, and unfortunately I continue to receive "No password provided for sbcglobal. Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password". This relates to my iPhone, iPad-mini, and MacBook Air. Help, please!
