@ -733,7 +732,7 @@ There are general errors and errors specific to Gmail accounts (see below).
**General errors**
The error *... Authentication failed ...* likely means your username or password was incorrect.
The error *... Authentication failed ...* or *... AUTHENTICATE failed ...* likely means your username or password was incorrect.
Some providers expect as username just *username* and others your full email address *username@example.com*.
Other possible causes are that the account is blocked or that logging in has been administratively restricted in some way,
for example by allowing to logging from certain networks / IP addresses only.

**(126) What does 'User is authenticated but not connected' mean?**
**(126) Can message previews be sent to my wearable?**
The message *User is authenticated but not connected* is caused by a bug in older versions of Microsoft's Exchange server.
This message in fact means that the password was invalid, likely because it was changed.
FairEmail fetches a message in two steps:
1. Fetch message headers
1. Fetch message text and attachments
Directly after the first step new messages will be notified.
However, only until after the second step the message text will be available.
FairEmail updates exiting notifications with a preview of the message text, but unfortunately wearable notifications cannot be updated.
Since there is no guarantee that the message text will be fetched directly after the message header, it is not possible to send message previews to a wearable.

* The account password was changed: changing it in FairEmail too should fix the problem
* There are too many simultaneous connections: see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq23) for more information and a workaround
