How do I change password if I have forgotten it?
7 months ago -
I have been trying since yesterday to get my mail on my iPhone. I changed my password when I was setting up a new computer a couple of days ago, and both my computers and iPad are getting mail with no problem. I cannot figure out the problem on my phone. Any help would be appreciated!

My incoming info is currently set as a Pop Account. The Host Name is: pop.gmail.com and I have the username set with the above e-mail address (associated with my domain - which is hosted by Dreamhost). The mail is not coming into my phone (Mail) with this setting. Should I change it to an IMAP account or do I need to change the username to the gmail address associated with it? Thank you!
