I have 3 email accounts that have all worked OK until recently. 2 of the accounts have blocked receiving emails by asking for the password. When I enter the existing password, it is rejected. When I enter a new password, it is also rejected. Only the 3rd account continues to receive emails. All 3 of the accounts continue to to receive and send emails without any problems on my iPhone.

Who is the provider? Passwords might be rejected because the authentication method has changed. Try removing the entries for the affected accounts from Saved Passwords in Settings, restart TB, and see if the correct passwords are accepted.
