I could do with some advice. I got an IPhone 6 the other day and while I've had no problems setting up my GMail account, the phone keeps telling me that either my username or password are wrong when I try to set up my Sky email account.

I know the password is right because I changed it recently. Any ideas on what's gong on. Very grateful for any advice.

I am sure that I had to specifically enable my Gmail account for IMAP to get it to work with the normal IOS email. AFAIR there is also a Gmail App which will work with the higher-security level.

PS This seems to be what I used: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en

He had no problems with his GMail, it's his Sky email account giving the problem
