    Hi Ellen,

    My best advice is to download the Outlook app on your phone and sign into your Outlook e-mail via this app.

    Hi ,

    I'm Dyari. Thanks for reaching out. I will be happy to assist you in this regard.

    I'm afraid that, on iPhone, you cant see your IMAP password directly because it’s the same as the password for the email account itself. If you can’t send or receive emails because it says the username or password is incorrect, try signing in to your email on a web browser using the same email address and password.

    If that login fails, you’ll need to reset your email password through your email provider. May I know what email provider(Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo) you are using so that I can assist you further?
