If you have changed your email password in cPanel, you will need to update it on your iPad too, otherwise your mail will stop sending and receiving.

## Steps to update your email password

1. Open the **Settings** app on your iPad. The icon may be on a different screen or in a different location than shown in the screenshots below.

Your iPad will verify the new password with the mail server. Once confirmed, your account will continue to send and receive mail as normal.
