How to check for / troubleshoot an incorrect email password

FocalScope is totally dependent on the correct credentials being provided for each email account to authenticate against the mail server and send / retrieve email messages. If the credentials of an account have been incorrectly specified, FocalScope will not be able to send / receive emails on the affected account. This article details how to troubleshoot an incorrect email password in FocalScope.
