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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I've changed my email account password and was told to notify you. what needs to be done now?

    I wasn't getting any emails. Tried logging into Mozilla account but forgot password and answer to question to reset password. Called my internet provider who reset my password. They told me to contact Mozilla and let them know that I've changed it. Is there anything I need to do now? Thanks, Reynson

    Hmm, this is a little confusing.
    Are you currently able to access your email website and view, receive, and send mail? If that isn't working in Firefox, is it working in Internet Explorer?
    If you are resetting a Mozilla account password, either for this Support site or your Firefox Sync account, and you are not getting a related email message, could you confirm that it isn't going into a Junk or Spam folder?
    If you are trying to access another kind of Mozilla account, could you provide a little more information about what it is?

  • TS3276 email account passwords are constantly requested

    I am using OS Lion and Mail and have 6 different email accounts running. All accounts work but periodically and I cant see an obvious pattern, various accounts ask me to input again the password for the account. I do this and always check the box to retain the password in the chain. But the password request will be made again at least once.
    Has anyone experienced such a problem and is there an obvious reason and fix for this?
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same issue. It started a couple weeks ago when I changed the password of one of my iMap accounts. I've repaired permissions, deleted the keychain password items associated with the problem account and even deleted com.apple.mail.plist located in my home directory->library->preferences. None of these actions has solved the problem. I've searched the rest of the Internet but haven't found any suggestions for actions other than those already tried. This particular email account works fine with another client on my Android phone and via webmail so having an incorrect password isn't the problem.
    Do you know of any files containing cached information that can be safely trashed?
    As I type this it occurs to me that I didn't empty my trash after deleting the com.apple.mail.plist file. I'll try that now.

  • How do I change my email account password in Thunderbird?

    I changed my password on my Comcast email account, and now I cannot access my email using Firefox. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about passwords anywhere on your support site. I've looked in every single menu item, and there is NOTHING to do with passwords. Help. Help me, please.

    All the articles recommended seem to use the old Firefox menu system. I solved my problem, but I'm not really sure how. I did find the saved passwords by clicking the "display menu" icon (three horizontal bars) in the upper right, and then choosing Options...->Options...->Security->Passwords->Saved Passwords->Show Passwords. Then the next time I tried to check my mail, I was prompted for the password, and checked the "remember password" box. Everything works fine now.

  • Regarding mail app, how do I add a roadrunner email account,,it won't accept it.

    trying to add roadrunner email account to mail app,,but will not accept it.,any ideas?

    Have you tried a manual setup?
    After you have entered your information at the first setup window hold the alt (option) key down as you click on continue and that should allow manual setup. You'll obviously need the correct email credentials/POP or IMAP and SMTP details to input.
