Gmail on Android : changing an email account password.
I've just changed my password on my main email account (Outlook.com), which is also the account for my Microsoft account.
Moto G v3, Android M (I think). I have a few email accounts on my phone, including this one and the gmail account I had to set up as "entry" to Google account. I use Gmail as the client. I can't access this account on my phone, it keeps telling me username or password is wrong. Fine, it even offers me a link to "edit details". The trouble is, following that link I can't see anywhere to actually change my password. I've tried googling, but every hit relates to the password for the Gmail account itself. I remember I had the same problem on my old phone, when I used K9 as a mail client. In the end I deleted the account and added it again. Is this the only solution, or am I missing something simple? |

Nobody else had this problem, I take it?
Or can anyone suggest a decent email client for Android? |

Have you tried logging into your gmail account from a browser?

I have, but all I see is the Gmail mail account; that one's not the problem.
I'm using Gmail as a mail client with some non-Gmail accounts. I've changed the password on one of them, but I can't see any way to change the password with the mail client. If I search, all I get are ways to change the password of the Gmail mail account, |
