Hello there @macgeek,


Welcome to our Community Forums! It's wonderful to see you have taken the time to learn more about your smartphone. These days, it's also important to stay atop of your email inbox and management. I will be more than happy to share additional information with you.


Since you manually changed your email password on a PC, you will need to log out and back in on your phone for the change to reflect. Although your account may be synced on the phone now, it will remain logged into the account until you log out and have to use your new password to re-login. You can learn how to log out/in on your phone email account here. Select your make and model phone, then click on View all Solutions to get started.


I hope this is helpful. Have a fantastic day!
