Hi
You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password. Some do, but many do not. When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
In the Account Information tab put the server name
In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
Good luck

Mail: The POP server rejected the password for user
I am completely unable to use Mail.
I keep getting the "The POP server rejected the password for user" on two of my accounts.
The password has not changed and I have entered it correctly.
The accounts just will not go online.
This started yesterday when an old machine accidentally fired up mail and tried to connect using the same user details. Since then, my MacBook Pro is not able to connect to my mail.
My iPad and my iPhone can. There is no problem at the server or the ISP. I have also run the Keychain repair utility.
Please can you advise how I should fix it? Plist? Define the accounts again?
Any ideas welcome.
ThanksSorry I can't be of help, I know of others with this problem. In my case I have two accounts that don't work in Mail whilst the other accounts do. I suspect it may be a bug as I've been looking for a solution for sometime. My current solution is to collect the mail on those accounts with an XP netbook which is probably not very helpful!
I have also tried the Keychain repair and at least for a short while it looked as if it had fixed it.
Any ideas anybody before I go through the hassle of reinstalling everything?

When i use google earth or somebody sends me a message or just simply opening a new tab, it crashes and it takes about 30 seconds to start working again, its not my computer as it is new and it has high spec, any help? thanks
I figured it out!
I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
Anyone in similar position:
Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
Hope that helps -
HT2480 In the server domain; Do I use the smtp server OR the incoming mail server?
I am trying to verify my business mail on my iphone and I have several troubles thus I would like to ask for you help:
1) its a "webmail.ath.hcmr.gr" mail, so it is a "Microsoft Exchange" mail type? Correct?
2) in the server field: what do i add? The incoming mail server or the smtp server?
ThanksHey Butterworth,

The iCloud server rejects my password
As of the past 36 hours, whenever I try to get (download) my mail ("Mail" via iCloud) a pop up window appears that states...
The iCloud IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “me”
Enter your password again or cancel.
I enter the valid password (which was functioning just a few days prior), yet once again the server rejects my password. Hence, I haven't been able to retreive my mail now for going on two days.
I have not changed my password or any other data (related to iCloud or the "Mail" program in a about a year. If I recall correctly I had updated the Safari program and I think a Java or Security item the previous day.....
Can anybody (please) supply me with some information or tips on how I can retreive my mail and get this #%& program functioning properly again?Thanks Csound1... that worked and then on a hunch I immediately opened my 'Mail' program clicked on get mail and entered the same AppleID and password and this time.... for some incredible bizarre reason, my mail program worked and displayed all of the last few days mail.
Thanks again. -

The smtp server doesnt support password authentication.
This warning comes up when I try to set up my email. According to my email service I'm supposed to turn off password authentication for the outgoing server but I can't seem to figure out how to spit
The authentication option in the settings only offers
Password
MD5 challenge response
NTLM
HTTPMD5 digest
There is no option to turn it off??? -
The POP server rejected the password for user
Hi Im new to this forum but need help! I can usually fix most things on my mac but the last 2 weeks mail will not recieve any incoming messages as is just says "The POP server “mailin.macmail.com” rejected the password for user “****”
I have looked at other postings and tried keychain etc but nothing will work. This happens with 2 accounts one from macmail and one from NTL (my ISP) I can send mail fine (no password) and can go on to webmail and get my messeages fine on both accounts.
Does anyone have an answer for this?
Many thanksSorry I can't be of help, I know of others with this problem. In my case I have two accounts that don't work in Mail whilst the other accounts do. I suspect it may be a bug as I've been looking for a solution for sometime. My current solution is to collect the mail on those accounts with an XP netbook which is probably not very helpful!

Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
Good luck. -

What do the logs show? Is the user ID entered in the POP client a valid short name for the user in WGM? Is mail enabled for the user?
Please post details if you want help.
