Constant request for email account password

30 days ago all of my Verizon.net email accounts started to request the password. After entering the password I get the email. Then without exiting out of Outlook the next push of email requires the password to be entered again. I've verified all of the passwords are correct by logging in through Webmail and again thought Outlook.  I have exhausted every potential fix from Microsoft and have proven this is a Verizon issue.  I have two other email domains one being Gmail and the other is from my website which is a .com and these do not require a password each time I receive or send email.
Anyone have any ideas?  I hate to call the support number since you end up with script readers and go through the same process I've seen listed in tis forum. This one looks like something for the level 2 or 3 support team.  

I would suggest that anyone having this issue verify they have updated their servers to the NEW server settings of pop.verizon.net / smtp.verizon.net instead of the old incoming/outgoing servers.
For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up fictional account "[email protected]" and the password for logging into that account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.
The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:
Incoming Server: pop.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes
Username: fakeacct
Password: fakepassword
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Server: smtp.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes (You can set it to use the same settings as incoming, or manually enter the username and password.)
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 465
If you are given the option anywhere for Secure Password Authentication (SPA), set it to No or Normal
These settings should work unless you have a Verizon/Yahoo account, in which case the server names are: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net -and- outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
If all of that is set up and it's still not working, your best bet is to provide a screenshot of your settings (with personal information blocked/removed) and any errors you are getting.

  • How do I get rid of this login keychain and constant request for email and smpt passwords.I have clicked on remember this each time?

    my imac was supposed to be set up w/o a password. This was done in store.  Periodically ,much to frequently, I get popup boxes requestiong email password and smpt password and login keychain.  How do I get rid uf this?

  • Hacked email. PW reset. Constant requests for passwords come up in several apps.

    MacBook 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. OS 10.7.5.
    After XXXXXXX@bellsouth email was hacked I got pw reset and email receipt/send is fixed (except for these pw request popups).
    Constant requests for passwords come up during use of different pieces of sw, incl all those listed below:
    "syncdefaultsd wants to use the xxxxxxxxx keychain"
    and
    "SafariDAVclient wants to use the xxxxxxxxx keychain"
    and
    "ICAL wants to use the xxxxxxxxx keychain"
    and
    "AddressBookSourceSink wants to use the xxxxxxxxx keychain"
    and
    "Messaging Agent wants to use the xxxxxxxxx keychain"
    and
    "ICAL can't login to your XXXXXXX account because your password may be incorrect",
    where xxxxxxxxx is consistent.
    I thought I had fixed this in Keychain but evidently I have not. Putting the passwords in does not 'keep' them in place.
    Any help with how to basically 'start over' with keychain and eliminate this annoying, constant problem?
    Thank you ahead of time.

  • I just downloaded an iphoto update and when I tried to share my photos was asked for email and password.  I must have typed in the info wrong because I keep getting an error message.   I don't see how to change the info to the correct mistake..

    I too added 2nd apple ID when I tried to get Free app from apple store just to get to NONE on the credit card needed. It said it sent confirmation email to my new apple ID email that I have to confirm. Problem is I can not get to the new apple ID email account.  On my ipad it logs into my original email account and I see no where to log into another email account.  If I go to my laptop, the new apple ID I created does not let me log into email where apple said it was sent to.  It did not send to back up email account either.
    Can I log into 2 email accounts on my ipad where it says mail at bottom?
    Can I have 2 apple ids?
    If I created a 2nd apple id to get to NONE on credit card needed, can't I log into it also on another laptop in gmail?
    (won't let me)
    If I used my original apple id I created when I got my new ipad, it will not let me get free app without credit card, there is no where it says NONE needed. I am too new to apple to start with credit cards etc until I get use to it.

  • Where did my emails go after an email account password change?

    Hi, I am sorry this may get a little wordy....
    I had to reset an email account password ( for one of the four profiles/email addresses tbird manages) with my isp because tbird suddenly could not connect to the mail server ( It kept asking me to enter a new password.),.
    Having supplied tbird with the new password it appears to have made a totally new profile and all my folders and emails are gone.
    I can find the default folder but I dont know what to do with it?

    I just tried to create a new profile and copy details from the old to the new and nothing has changed.
    I assume because I am backing up and replacing profile contents that are already missing all the emails and folders I want back.
    Massive sad face.

  • Email Account Password Reset

    Short of changing a site's main email contact, how can I reset a user's Email Account password, and have the 'forgot password' message sent to an external email address?

    When you're creating accounts you can supply the password recovery email for this situation. If you haven't entered that email and you're stuck please reach out to support and they will help you.

  • Web Signup for email accounts on leopard

    Hi folks,
    I have a request from a customer who is running email services on OS X Server 10.5.1 for one of their internal subdomains - what They're asking for is to provide a way for users to sign up for email accounts from a web page hosted on the same leopard server that is hosting the email accounts for this subdomain.
    Does anyone know if this has been done already or if it can be done? If so, could you point me to a link?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    -Colin

    Don't know of any readymade solution. It can certainly be done but will require some work. Also, unless you re-build postfix, what comes with OS X Server is not tied to mail only accounts.
    If you really need this functionality, I'd probably re-compile postfix with MySQL support and then use something like Postfixadmin.
    Either way will work, but is not easy to accomplish.

  • My email account password isn't accepted

    I changed my email account password with AT&T. Now, I'm prompted for the password in Mac mail and it's not accepted. I used the keychain firstaid and there were no problems or repairs to be made. I'm able to login to ATT/Yahoo mail via the web so they(ATT) insist the problem is with my Mac. What do I try next?

    Did it work before, or has it always been this way?

  • IPod Touch email account password saved securely by iTunes on PC?

    I have an old iPod Touch running the iPhone OS for iPod Touch version 3.1.3 (7E18).  I'm not sure what the 7E18 means.
    When I use the builtin email app to access email over WiFi, my password is stored in the iPod Touch.  Is this piece of info squirrelled away on the PC by iTunes during synchronization?  If so, how securely is it kept?

    Passwords are included in the backup of the iPod that iTunes makes as the first step in syncing your computer.
    "Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. If you encrypt the backup with iOS 4 and later, the keychain information is transferred to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, the keychain can only be restored to the same iPhone or iPod touch. If you are restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter these passwords again.)"
    There are backup extractors but the one I looked at did not mention to be able to extract the keychain.  I would expect the keychain items to be secure since mac use a keychain and it is secure.

  • Mail loosing email accounts passwords everyday

    The last few days Mail is asking for my email accounts passwords everyday. Meaning that I setup the passwords it works and the next day keeps asking for the email accounts passwords again. I use Gmail, iCloud and my personal email accounts based on my companies website domain name.
    Any suggestions ? Is there a way to reset mail ?
    Thanks in adavance.

    Hi there,
    You should be able to set main passwords for all devices you're using in Settings / Internet Accounts
    Also, when configuring your password in Mac Mail, be sure that the passwords are actually saved (after inserting password, change tab for example, and a save prompt should appear).
    Hope it's helpful! Good luck!

    Thats the security feature, to prevent anyone doing what you are trying.
    The best course of action would be to contact the email service provider and ask them either for a reminder of the p/w or for them to re-set the p/w on that account.

  • Payment request for GL account

    Hi All,
    I'm using SAP ECC.6.
    I want to create payment request for GL account, e.g expense accounts.
    I try to use FIBLFFP, but it only allows me to create payment request for 1 GL at one time. My requirement is to have multiple GL account in 1 request.
    For example, we have F-47 to create down payment request for vendor, which is also can be more than 1 line per entry.
    Is there any idea how to do this for GL accounts ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The reason why I need this payment request for GL account is for the adhoc payment we paid to the people name or a company name without an invoice issue to us.
    We cannot be always create a new vendor for all this type of adhoc request.
    We also can't post to one-time vendor becasue no invoice involve.
    Is something like expenses claim but this guy is not our employee.
    The name on the payment voucher could be a merchandiser or dealer who claim the expenses from us.
    Any respond ?
