Can't change password for SMTP outgoing server.

I changed my password on the server via a different method, now I need to change the password Thunderbird uses to send messages to that new password. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get Thunderbird to ask for the password again, it just keeps using the old saved password. How do I get Thunderbird to prompt me for the new password?
Oh, and this is Thunderbird 24.6.0, on Windows 7.

I have just spent several hours wrestling with the same problem.
Why the Thunderbird path ''Tools>Options>Security>Passwords>Saved Passwords'' does not casually mention that to change server provider passwords,''' simply''':
''''Remove ALL the saved password for that account. They might be there more than once. Once for inbound and another for outbound. Remove them both. Close and restart Thunderbird. It should ask you for a password the next time one is required.' '''
confounds Mozilla's usually excellent signposting, IMHO
Thanks for the inspiration, Airmail

Can't change password for mobile user on certain client computers

I have a MacBook Pro that has mobile user accounts. The user accounts are defined in the WGM of my macpro Server. The mobile user account works fine except that after some time I could not change the password on the client computer. I could change it in WGM but then it was not updated on the client. I tried changing the password from the SystemPreferences -> Accounts option as well as from the command line with "passwd". When using the command line passwd it just says "sorry". When using the Accounts option it asks to contact the "system manager".
I called Apple Support. They suggested recreating the mobile user account on the client. I did that, and everything worked fine, including changing passwords on the client. But, after several weeks, I again cannot change the password on the client. I can change it in WGM fine, but again the client is not updated.
It seems that the password database on the client gets confused about user password changing privileges after some time.
To make matters more complicated, everything works fine for another client computer, including changing passwords.
Any suggestions?

This problem was related to the case sensitivity of computer names. I had recreated the LDAP binding to the client computer with the computer name in all lower case
characters. However, when I created the mobile user initially, I had used a mix of upper and lower case characters (the name that shows up upon reverse DNS lookup). Once I re-created the LDAP binding with the original name, everthing worked fine.

Can't change password for mozilla addons

I tried to login with my old password for firefox addons and it didn't recognize it. I requested a password reset, then went to the link from my email and typed a new password in both boxes. I received a message that said your password was changed,. Yet when I went to log in, the password still didn't work.
I tried two more times to reset and enter a new password (I tried different passwords just out of curiosity) and the same problem keeps occurring.

I doubt if the Add-ons forum AND the Add-ons website use the same password / username database. Not a 100% sure because I use the same username and same password for all the Mozilla websites, except for Bugzilla and Mozilla Labs which use the email address for the username; according to my master list of website logins those two websites initiated login credentials two years apart - 2006 and 2008.

Can't Change Password for SSID's any longer!!!

I have 3 Cisco WAP 2000 and have two SSID's set up with passwords. I usually change the passwords every 3 months or so, but now when I log in I can't even see where I can change the passwords. there is no longer a drop down list under Wireless. There actually aren't any drop down lists under any of the Menu items any longer. So weird. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

Hello Shauna,
Issues like this are usually related to the browser your are using, or possibly your anti-virus/security software.
Try opening the page in a different browser. Firefox tends to work the best. I would also recommend checking your firmware to see if it can be updated to support a newer browser.
Since the WAP2000s are a bit older, you can also try as early a version of Internet Explorer as you can find, or running in compatibility view.
Thank you for choosing Cisco,

Apple mail losing password for smtp server

Macbook Pro 2.6ghz intel core 2 due 4 gb 667mhz ddr2 sdram OS X 10.5.7
sbcglobal is mail server they are att.
Must use password to retrieve and send email.
Losing password for smtp server.
Is it keychain or what?
keychain is a PITB.
thanks.

Hi Linda,
Launch the Mail application. Then from the Mail Menu Bar, click Mail/Preferences. Select the Accounts tab and then click the Account Information tab. Where you see: Incoming Mail Server ... make sure you password is available. It will be encrypted so all you will see are dots. If the field is empty, type in your password and close the Preferences window. The next time you send Mail, it might ask for the password but only to add to your Keychain. It shouldn't ask for it again.
Hopefully that will do the trick...

How can I avoid re-configuring my outgoing server when travelling?

I have always "reconfigured" my 'outgoing server' -- the smtp setting under MAIL preferences -- when travelling outside my ISP's service area. (For 12 years with Eudora, and now 4 years with MAIL). But often at hotels, or in airports, it's not possible to get the info, that is, the smtp designator for the ISP serving the hotel or airport. When unable to get that info, I have to revert to using my home ISP's "webmail" which is clunky, limited, slow, inflexible, and doesn't integrate well with my Apple MAIL later. I hate using it.
When I AM able to get the local smtp designator info when on the road, it nearly always does the trick and I am able to do all my email work as I would back at my home office.
However, recently, I stayed with a friend on the west coast, (let's call him Brian) who is something of a Mac expert, but he was unable to confidently give me the smtp designators for his local ISP-- apparently because he never has to change his smtp configuration when on the road! Like me, he uses two servers, that is, he is connected at his home via the phone company's DSL service using a high speed modem, but he likes to retain the email address he had originally got from an earlier ISP he used, back when he was on dial-up. So he pays that ISP a monthly $5.00 to allow him to continue to use the email address he has had since being their customer way back when. So we called both of Brian's ISP's and got their smtp designators. However, neither of these, when plugged into my MAIL preferences, would allow me to "send" using Apple MAIL and I was again obliged to use my clunky webmail.
Now, it seems to me he is being "relayed" (is that the right term?) by the phone company sending outgoing mail over to the older ISP, and the older ISP relays his mail over to the phone company's server to give him his incoming mail. When I am visiting him, this may be to confusing for the smtp configuration in my MAIL.
I would think not, though, because I have a similar setup: I connect to a cable company modem from my home on the east coast, but my address is the one I got from our local phone company before high-speed became available to us via the cable TV service. When we switched from the phone company's dial-up to the cable company's high- speed, we kept the original email address --which was specific to the phone company-- and we pay $5.00 per month for the privilege. Seems very similar to Brian's setup.
However, at Brian's, changing the smtp designator doesn't work to allow me to send emails from Apple's MAIL program.
Brian tells me he doesn't have to do this smtp change when he travels, with his Apple MAIL. He doesn't know why I do it, nor why I should have to. I suspect, that unknown to him, his ISP has some kind of setup whereby his smtp designation is a sort of "universal" outgoing server designation, and his outgoing emails are accepted no matter which ISP he is using when away from home. And I think my MAIL configuration must be incompatible with that. This is just my suspicion.
So my questions are:
1. why doesn't Brian have to re-configure his smtp outgoing server when he travels? and...
2. how can I get that kind of universal "email send-ability" when I travel, and not have to be challenged with having to re-do my outgoing server when travelling, using Apple's MAIL?
Any insights will be most gratefully received!!!!
PS I'm using Snow Leopard on MacBook 10.6.8; I think Brian is using Leopard on a 15-in Powerbook.

Many email providers allow you to send from outside their network if you set up authentication to their servers in your outgoing mail server setup. You may wish to confirm this with your email provider, but you can just try this:
1) Go to the Accounts preference in Mail
2) Select your email account
3) On the Account Information tab, locate the "Outgoing Mail Server" section and pull the menu down to "Edit SMTP Server list"
4) Select the appropriate outgoing server and go to the Advanced tab
5) In the Authentication pulldown, select "Password" and enter in your email account ID and password
6) Click all the applicable "OK" buttons to close it all up and save the information.
That may work with your email provider, or they may have additional settings needed such as "Use Security Sockets Layer (SSL)". Your provider should be able to tell you what specific settings you need if the basic user name and password don't work.
Regards.

Dealing with two email accounts that use the same SMTP (outgoing) server

Folks:
re:   mail.app 5.2 (MacOS 10.7.4) with respect to POP accounts only
I've read this thread multiple times, spent many hours experimenting, and my web searches haven't come up with any more useful help.
How do you persuade mail.app to accept settings for two similar, but distinct email accounts that use the same SMTP (outgoing) server?   Say, the accounts are "blue.example.com" and "[email protected]". These have different user names and passwords.   The SMTP server is "smtp.example.com".
I think this is the appearance of success: the SMTP Server List (as seen in edit-the SMTP-Server-List mode) shows:
Server Name                   In Use By Account
    smtp.example.com      [email protected], [email protected]
(Description column omitted for brevity. And of course, mail.app doesn't show the little envelope icons.)
But I cannot reliably achieve this result.   When I select the SMTP server from the list for the second account --as suggested in the above-referenced thread--- I see the credentials (user name and password) for the first. Should I overwrite them? No, I don't think so -- I think that will break the first account.   I feel mail.app should present me with empty credentials boxes instead. Maybe this happens -- sometimes. But I can't see how to make it happen. Am I simply overlooking something?
A slightly different way of asking about this issue:   Suppose I manage to do a proper setup for the two accounts and they work. Then I change the password for "[email protected]" on the server. What is a reliable way of reaching the SMTP credentials for that account to make the edit? Same question for "[email protected]"?    Even when I successfully attach two accounts to one SMTP server, I seem only able to reach the first listed one to make changes. (In this case, "blue.example.com").
It is possible I'm missing something incredibly obvious...    I know the credentials for each account are distinct, but maybe mail.app copies them from the POP (incoming) settings.   Nah, that can't be, can it?   Or what?
Maybe I'm seeing bizarre things due to scrambled mail.app preferences. I've seen it before on other apps: delete the current preference file, get an auto-generated fresh one, and sanity returns. But with mail.app, with the prospect of losing years of emails --yeah, I've done it-- I'm extremely reluctant to mess around.
Suggestions, please.
TIA
Message was edited by: Hen3ry to clean up the table a little and add a parenthetical explanation.

OK, I'm convinced.   The mail.app UI is BROKEN -- in my primary user account. Such that it cannot reliably select an outgoing server for editing.
I created a new user account and installed some relevant example accounts in mail.app in that account. No problem. Well, a bit obscure, but still fully logical and reliable selection of individual SMTP accounts for editing.
For the sake of clarity, I think it is best to mark this "answered" and repost, focusing on the symptoms and asking how one might go about repairing the problem. So I'll do that.

The user name or password for SMTP is incorrect

With my new iPhone, I am unable to change my password in trying to rectify the command "the username or password for SMTP is incorrect ....
Any suggestions ?

Don't know whose problem it is but I did this...
Had the same problem just started last week after I changed my AOL password. Entering the new password into iPhone 4S AOL account did not fix anything. Went to the AOL captcha link noted previously and did that. Still no luck on sending mail. Could always receive tho... Could not change password in outgoing mail server on iPhone. Solution was to add NEW server smtp.aol.com, username without @aol.com, new password. Did this for each AOL email account on iPhone (2) then turned off both OLD aol smtp.....and it works fine. Can now send emails.

MAIL problem - telefonica smtp outgoing server

First sorry this is on the safari board. Couldn't find the one for mail!
I am on holiday and the ISP I can find (public) is Telefonica. I have tried the standard smtp outgoing server (smtp.telefonica.net) but even on this I keep getting a "address rejected by server'. I've tried different servers but I think telefonica is fairly tight about that sort of stuff. I think the problem is a password and username is needed however I can't get these.
Is there any way around this, perhaps setting up a personal smtp server, or someway of bypassing their outgoing mail restrictions? This is my first mac so I'm a little bit stuck...
hope you can help!

Ok fixed it. For anyone else having the problem of a not being able to send outgoing mail with a public ISP do the following.
1) setup a gmail account and record password and username.
2) Set up a new server in mail: "mail/preferences/accounts/outgoingmail server (drop down)/edit server list"
3) add a new server by clicking on 'plus'
4) server name is 'smtp.gmail.com'. check 'use custom port' and enter 587. check use ssl box.
5) in Authentication drop down, choose password then enter your gmail username and password.
All this worked for me after fannying around with loads and loads of far more complicated things! Hope this helps someone like it did me!

Two things. First, I'm not exactly sure what password you are trying to
change. The LDAP server's password or a user's password in the LDAP
server. Second, could you please post a stack trace.

Hai,
This condition based execution requires - javascript coding.
In miscelleaneous tools bar, you have an option of SCRIPT_ITEM writer tool, drag the tool into your WAD layout, and select the properties , choose the editor option and paste your coding. that's it.
Alternate option :
in your web application design layout , you will fine XHTML coding editor , there you need to write coding and execute the same.
Hope this will help to you.

Hi Han,
here my corrections:
1.
I would use the filename "mylabels_cn.properties" and not "mylabels_zh_CN.properties"
2.&3.
This is the SP2 way for using the bundle files for properties. For NetWeaver you need to create a new PAR-file with the bundle file including the labels and translations as described <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/65/6fc63ed4027f6be10000000a114084/frameset.htm">here</a>.
It's very easy if you use the example PAR file provided by SAP in SAP Note 817876, as mentioned in the referenced link (Prerequisites section).
Read carefully the process in the link and try again. If you still experience problems, come back with the new detailed description.
Hope this helps,
Robert
