IT numpty here
had a trouble free existence for a long time with Virgin media mail and my ipad but the last couple of week its been a reet bastid
sometimes it collects the mail perfect and an hour later is tells me my password is wrong
next time it works OK
its now just delivered mails from this morning and straightaway after told me my password is wrong again .

Help what do I need to do

It POP3 if that helps

as i understand it yes, it means that if you read an email on your ipad, it becomes read on your computer, theyre sort of synced. i think you 'see' the email, instead of 'downloading' it to a specific device.
