**General errors**
<aname="authfailed"></a>
The error *... Authentication failed ...* or *... AUTHENTICATE failed ...* likely means that your username or password was incorrect.
Some providers expect as username just *username* and others your full email address *username@example.com*.
When copying/pasting to enter a username or password, invisible characters might be copied, which could cause this problem as well.

The errors *... Read error ...*, *... Write error ...*, *... Read timed out ...*, *... Broken pipe ...* mean that the email server is not responding anymore or that the internet connection is bad.
<aname="connectiondropped"></a>
The error *... Connection dropped by server? ...* means that the email server unexpectedly terminated the connection.
This sometimes happen when there were too many connections in a too short time or when a wrong password was used for too many times.
In this case, please make sure your password is correct and disable receiving in the receive settings for about 30 minutes and try again.
If needed, see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq23) about how you can reduce the number of connections.
The error *... Unexpected end of zlib input stream ...* means that not all data was received, possibly due to a bad or interrupted connection.
The error *... connection failure ...* could indicate [Too many simultaneous connections](#user-content-faq23).
