Just got my first iPhone although I've had an iPad for a year or so.
I'm trying to set everything up but can't get the email account resolved. One of the error messages I'm getting is -
no password provided for 'accountname'
The bizarre thing is the settings I have in the iPad (which is handling mail OK) don't work in this phone.
What's going on? Might just stick with the Android phone I was replacing.....
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15

Thanks for that extremely prompt reply!
I'd done that over and over again to no avail but tried it once more. I tried leaving out SMTP settings so that only mail receipt was set but still got a 'no password' error. And this is whilst there is visual evidence on the same setup screen showing the password dots.
Thanks anyway.....
Have you tried deleting the app from your iPhone and then reinstalling it before setting it up? See if that resets settings and issues.
No... I can see it's easy to remove an app but does the stock email client have to be sourced from the App store?
You can download the iOS Mail app or download third-party mail apps to iPhone such as outlook or gmail. You can also use Safari or another browser to log in on the web instead of using an app.
