Cannot Send Mail/Password Problems

Whenever I open my primary e-mail account I get a message saying it cannot send mail because no password is provided for the account. (I can receive e-mails on this account, and can send and receive e-mails on my other accounts) I have tried re-entering my password and changing my password and neither have worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

The provider for my primary account is digis. And as far as I know everything is correct, I've been able to send e-mails on this account for the last year, it has only been the last month or so that I have been getting this error.
Thank you for your help!

  • Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send..

    Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send Code 501..
    Need help with T-bird.. My OS is Win XP-64..Have been using Mozilla for about 10 years with little or no problems.. This happened when I upgraded to 3.17.. Spent hours on T-Bird diagnostics web site.. Called Comcast & talked to a net tech.. he ran some tests on his end & had me log into my Comcast e-mail account & all worked well,, so he concluded the problem was in T-Bird.. He had me change my port to 587 & disable connection security & authentication to none & I was able to send mail.. That was all he could do.. Comcast was working.. the problem is in T-Bird.. Can any one help with this problem.. I don't want to send mail with my password transmitted insecurely..
    Thanks

    It was not intended to be "snide". You said two separate things that at face value would be out of the ordinary.
    I considered if it might be a typo for 31.7. Since 31.5 is the current formal release, I would have to thank you for volunteering to test a pre-release beta version. If it was truly 3.1.7 then it would appear that you have chosen, or have become stuck with a somewhat ancient version. In either case it's harder to reach out to you with any meaningful comments or advice. However I do watch various other sites and newsgroups and I don't see a clamour of distressed users, so it seems fair to suppose that this feature isn't actually broken in 31.7.
    And you said XP 64. XP is obsolete and no longer supported and if there is a 64-bit version, then again you have set yourself apart from the mainstream.
    I had a look at the comcast site and found some puzzling recommendations. Some users come here asking how to set up a secured connection in Thunderbird when it isn't offered by the server. Comcast are different, in that they mention the ports 143 and 587, and also 993 and 465. So far so good, in that security is actually on offer, but they also suggest that you enable SSL, regardless of which port is being used. It would be unusual and unconventional to offer TLS or SSL on ports 143 and 587. STARTTLS would be more credible on these ports.
    Have you tried IMAP on 993 and SMTP on 465? SMTP on 587 with SSL, or TLS, is not impossible, but is improbable.

  • TS1307 cannot recognize mail password and will not send mail..iphone and web work mail no problem

    mail will not send and continuously asks for password and rejects last documented password change. I cannot send mail only receive it on the MacBookPro BUT...I can get web mail and use send on iphone...mail cannot be recieved on iphone now.
    help thankss

    Use the Apple Mail Connection Doctor (Apple Mail's Window menu > Connection Doctor) as a first step.
    Also recognize that Apple Mail tends to (also) toss out the same password error dialog for errors other than password errors.  This means that network errors and network configuration can be reported as password errors.  (And folks that receive the password errors can then reasonably try different passwords, which means that the wrong password can (also) then get recorded in Keychain.)

  • Loaded Yosemite onto mid 2011 MacBook Air. IMAP account goes offline - message - Mail cannot send your password securely to the server.  Allow insecure authentication doesn't work. Repeated reloads. No joy. Help!

    Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.

    I have the same problem.
    Late 2012 imac 27", intel i7 core
    When I upgraded to Yosemite, suddenly my email account (netvigator POP) gives an error:
    Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.
    I have shut down & restarted mail, but no success. If I select Allow insecure authentication, it works, but that's not a long term fix.
    I also have a hotmail POP account enabled, and that is working fine.
    What's happening Apple??

    About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself.

  • TS3276 Cannot send mail from my iPad...."user name and or password is incorrect"......mail can be sent from my iPhone

    Why do I get the message   "Cannot send mail, the user name and or password for my email outgoing server is incorrect"?  I use the same account, etc. on my iPhone and haven't any trouble sending mail.

    If your email requires a password for the SMTP server you can set it up in the settings in the General mail setup. Some i.e Gmail require a password for SMTP.
    Otherwise you will probably get better answers in the iPad forum.

    Yesterday I uploaded Yosemite 10.10.2 thinking it was fixed by now. In Mail, my POP account gets this error message: Mail cannot send your password securely to the server.

    My provider says it's an Apple issue. The gmail accounts are logging in fine. Any help? Something simple?
    Thanks anyone.

    Thanks Csound1. That did work and Mail was able to connect to the internet. Green light status. Is it because of my provider that I may never have had secure connections? Is that an Apple thing or do PCs have the same issues? Appreciate your help. I'll research insecure connections as I am ignorant of the consequences.

  • TS3899 Cannot send mail. Says my password and or login is incorrect

    I set up my email and can receive mail but cannot send mail. It says either my login or password is incorrect but they are.not

    Sending of mail is handled by the SMTP server. When setting up mail, there are a couple of positions in the setup process that say that the username and password are optional. Usually however, they are not. Go back to the settings for the SMTP server and ensure that your username and password are entered for each section, and check with your provider to see if SSL or other settings need to be on or off.

  • HT201320 cannot send mail, username or password is incorrect

    cannot send mail, username or password is incorrect,  but it is not incorrect!!! help

    When does the message appear?  Is it when you are in the email client?  If so, go to Settings>icloud and be sure you are logged into the right icloud account.
    Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars - and in the Mail section, be sure your email account is defined.  If it is, try deleting it and setting it up again.

  • Cannot Send Mail from my iPhone 4s

    I am no longer able to send out replies or new emails from my phone, this is very recent and I have tried everything I know of.. But I am not THAT tech-savvy.
    So, anyways, when I go to send an email or reply to one, I get a pop-up box that says "Cannot Send Mail - The username or password for "said"-hotmail account is incorrect." So then I go to the settings enter my correct password for my hotmail account, it accepts it, and try again. Same pop-box appears, even though my password and username are both correct.  I know that they are correct because I am able to receive email with no problems at all.
    Is this a fixable problem or should I call Apple or take my phone in directly to them and have one of the techs look at it ?
    Thanks;

    Problems with sending mail is rooted in the settings for the SMTP server. There are places in this that say the username and password are optional, but normally are required by many email providers. Go back into the SMTP server settings and check all of the areas. I also agree with Doctor9fan to check your SSL settings. If you cannot get it to work like this, then remove the account from the device and add it back. As you complete the creation, make sure the account verifies. You can also check the Microsoft site to make sure settings are correct for Hotmail.

  • Just updated to  os x 10.9.2 on 3/5/2014 and i cannot send mail  does anyone know how to fix this

    i just updated to osx 10.9.2 on 3/5/2014 and i cannot send mail
    does anyone know how to fix this   (the smpt shows as off line - the certificate shows as none)

    i figured out a solution if anyone is having the same problem
    go to preferences in mail
    pick the mail account that is not sending
    if your outgoing mail server states it offline as mine did
    click the dropdown  and than click edit smtp 
    a window will come up that says account information and advanced
    click advanced
    renter your password and ok
    restart your computer - when it restarts it will send emails
