Support pages say to check passwords and found them incorrect. This is supported by the need to enter them each time I open and send the 1st mail from each account, previously. I deleted saved passwords and no prompts for entering new passwords. Anyone know what the fault is?

I deleted saved passwords and no prompts for entering new passwords. That didn't help.
