E-mail password being rejected after cancelling MobileMe

Hello there & thanks for your help,
A few weeks ago I cancelled MobileMe & since then I have had difficulties logging on to my e-mail account, taking a couple of goes. Now I am completely locked out as my password is not being recognised. I have deleted the account (after saving e-mails) but now cannot re-create the account because of the same problem. My AppleID & info except my usual password but not my e-mail. What to do??

Great news, thanks for the Star!
Might consider a free gMail account, IMAP if you like...

POP Mail Password being "rejected"

I've Got Mail (1.3.11) going out to yahoo.com to pick up my mail from the POP server. It's set to check for mail every minute. Suddenly I keep getting a note that "the POP server 'pop.mail.yahoo.com' rejected the password for user 'petermbooth' Please re-enter your password or cancel." Then at the bottom of the window is a checkbox which says "Remember this password in my keychain." I check this and... The same thing happnens again within a few minutes.
Any ideas WHY this is happening? Yahoo IS accepting the password, because when I enter the password, it goes out and collects the mail. It's a couple minutes before the note comes back.
Ideas? This is very frustrating!

this started happening with me about a week or two ago as well. i am running OS 10.4.4, the mail version i have is 2.05. this only happens with my yahoo email account. i also a google and .mac, which retrieves email just fine. i have tried deleting the account from the mail app and re-entering the account. that worked fine for about 20 minutes, then it started happening again. i have also tried deleting the keychain access for the password and selecting 'save to keychain' when you enter the password in mail, but again that didn't change anything.
all the problems started after i updated my computer, via software update, on jan. 11th. i updated quicktime to 7.0.4, itunes to 6.0.2, powerbook aluminum battery to 1.0, and OS X to 10.4.4. personally, i think there is something wrong with the 10.4.4 update. hopefully it will get taken care of soon.

My iCloud mail is being rejected due to the sending MTA's poor reputation.

My iCloud mail is being rejected "due to the sending MTA's poor reputation". How can this be corrected? Thank you

this started to happen to me yesterday: infuriating! I suppose Apple is aware of this and working on it.........perhaps!

Rules in Mail not being applied after Mavericks update

Hi everyone, I know there are a lot of threads already discussing similar issues, but so far I've been unable to find one that helps resolve my particular issue. Ever since upgrading to Mavericks my rules are not being applied in Mail. I will give you a screenshot of one of my rules:
I have about five rules that follow the same pattern: search for particular string in the FROM field and mark it with a color if the string is present. These rules all worked fine in Snow Leopard. All of my rules are still present after the upgrade and all checked as active. When I "select all" messages in my inbox and press Option-Cmd-L the rules are applied properly. However, the rules are not applying themselves when new mail comes in. As far as I can tell this does not have anything to do with the mail not being recognizes “as a new message” like, for example, because the mail was already read on my phone. It happens even if my other devices are offline and the only thing I am using to check mail is my laptop.
I am using a MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core Duo with OS X 10.9.1, in case that matters.
Thanks for any advice!

I think I've found at least a partial solution to the Mail - Rules Don't Work problem:
In "Mail" go to the menu Mailbox and click on Rebuild.
If you have a lot of stuff, this will take several minutes to finish.
I also reviewed all my rules and made a few minor changes.
Mixed results: I found that running "Apply Rules" didn't work on email already received; but new mail did. I don't quite understand that, but I call it a partial success.

Email password being rejected using Mac mail

I have a strange issue using mac mail on a mac mini running snow leopard. It is actually my Mom's computer. She calls me over from time to time when her email gives her problems. Usually it amounts to resetting the modem or some other simple fix. Today however not so easy!
This issue came up out of the blue earlier this week. A message came from mail asking her to re-enter her password since the server (charter.net) was rejecting it. She attempted to re-enter it along with a variety of other addresses she had written down and eventually gave up. In this process she also restarted her modem. Today is Friday so it's been a few days with no connection to her email server. This is all her recounting so I am not certain exactly what transpired.
I confirmed a conection with the internet first. re-entered the correct password and got the same message. Then I tried the Username & password via a web interface and got in first try. So I started up an old email client (Entourage) that had been set up from years ago (as a POP account) and it to accessed the server with no problem. At that point I deleted the account in mac mail & recreated it...same message. I then reset the keycahin and deleted/recreated the account again...same message. To rule out POP vs IMAP I tried creating a POP account in mac mail since the original was IMAP....same message. I am at a loss.
For now I reintroduced her to Entourage so she could access her mail. It was abbandoned a couple of years ago since it had been the source of too much confusion for her (she tends to click on things changing views etc without realizing how or what she has done).
Until this, the simplicity of mac mail was working pretty well for her.
Any ideas of what the cause might be or what else I could try would be appreciated.

I installed iCloud on the iPad
K, that wasn't clear in your original posting. You left that part out.
Are you saying this would be fixed if I upgraded to Mountain Lion?
That is not what I said. What I should have said is that the OS requirements for iCloud are Lion & Mountain Lion.
The following are keychain troubleshooting that you may wish to try: Use Spotlight to search for a file called login.keychain.
Users/YourUserName/Library(which is a hidden folder and won't show in Finder)/Keychains.
Click Go in the menu bar then Go to Folder and type in /Users/YourUserName/Library and hit the enter key. Look down the list of folder and find Keychains. The "login.keychain" file should be inside.
Cures for a funky keychain

Mail password suddenly rejected

Hello,
For reasons unknown, after having my email delivered all morning, I came back from an errand and the Apple mail icon was bouncing. It stated essentially that the server rejected my password and to re-enter the password. That accomplished nothing. For the past 4 hours, I can't get email or send any. I have removed and recreated my account 6 times. I have also reinstalled the Mountain Lion software and all its updates which have taken 2 hrs and 8 minutes to do. I am no closer to getting email than I was this morning. Can someone please clearly direct me to fix this problem that arrived from nowhere. I did not change any settings in the mail preferences before this happened. And, yes, I know my password. And, yes, the mail icon is still bouncing. PS. I can't access mail even on my iPhone.
Thank you ahead,
Al Eugene

I agree with arthur, so maybe you should access by browser and see if you can find anything.

RE Order cannot be rejected after cancellation and reversal or subseq docs

Hi,
We cancelled the RE billing document, reversed the Goods Receipt, deleted the Delivery but are not able to delete or reject the return order.
The message displayed is: "Subsequent Documents already exist."
If we disregard the message and put a rejection code in place, the order still appears on the Billing Due list and is able to be billed.
I've considered that the sequence of deletion, the problem persists irrespective of the sequence.
Any idea why or what needs to be repaired.
Thank you.

Hi,
I increased the quantity and rejected the order. The order still showed up on VF04 and I was able to bill it.
As a part of the test I attempted to deliver it though and was unable to deliver the order.
I checked the order status after rejection:
__Overall Status: Being processed__
__Rejection Status: Everything rejected__
__Delivery Status: Not delivered__
__Overall delv Status: Completed__
__Bill stat. order-rel: Not invoiced__
__Completeness: All items complete__
Accounting Documents have been cleared and Customer Ledger looks fine too with the appropriate in outs.
Thanks

Mail Profiles Being Deleted After Office 2010 to 2013 Deployment

I am deploying Outlook 2013 to user in our environment that has Outlook 2010 presently. Many users have additional attached mailboxes to their Outlook profile. After the deployment the default profile for Outlook in the Mail control panel is removed. Is
there a way to make sure the profile and the user settings do not go away on an upgrade? I'm using a .msp created in the OCT to do this.
Thanks!
B

Did you retain the default settings in OCT for handling Outlook?
By default, mail profile settings and data are migrated/preserved.

Still being charged after cancelling - HELP

Hi,
Can someone please contact me. I had cancelled my account months ago and even when i login it shows i dont have premium. I have been being charged every month. Can someone please contact me to have this resolved.
username: marcosregalo
i also submitted a ticket via your support.
Thanks

Hey
Support usually replies within 24-48 hours.
If you still have not gotten a reply:
Did you get a confirmation email from the contact form? It should be similar to "Spotify Support Case #XXXXXXX". If so, reply back to that email and tell them you still need help.
If you got an automated reply email telling you to check the help section or the community, you need to reply back to it saying you still need help, even if it's from a no-reply address.
If you never got an email, look in your spam folder to see if there is an email in there. Make sure you are checking the email account you used to sign up to Spotify. You can check the email on your account here.

Mail not being pushed after upgrading to iPhone 4S

Ever since upgrading from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S last week, my iCloud email doesn't get pushed to my iPhone anymore. I have to manually go into mail and wait for mail to check.
No settings were changed and I setup the phone from a backup of my iPhone 4 that had no problems with push email.
Both phones running iOS 5.01
Thanks for your help

Try the following:
Go to Settings > iCloud and turn mail OFF
Do a hard reset of the phone (hold the home and power buttons at the same time for about 6-8 seconds until the phone restarts - release the buttons when the Apple logo appears)
Go to Settings > iCloud and turn mail ON

Mail Password intermitent rejection

This forum has many complaints about this fault.
We have had this problem for many months [10.4.11 and 10.5.4 and in between updates].
We have spoken to our ISP and they have it recorded with many Mac users (no Windows followers) and they believe it is faulty workmanship by Apple. We have three ISP's and they know of the fault. Some computers only connect to one ISP, and we still have a problem.
We have changed keychains, we have looked at timing our issues, cap lock, checked authentications, deleted some preferences and are not going to do a reinstall.
Has anyone been able to "fix" this faulty problem - permanently ???
Has anyone got Steve Wozniak's home phone number......
Australia......

As disclosed in all the forums now running, this is an Apple Mail fault.
It is not an ISP fault.
We must wait for Apple to fix....

Being Billed After Cancellation

I switched from MiFi to Comcast months ago but I am still being billed for it by Verizon. When my wifi jetpack thing wasnt working they replaced it under warranty and now they are saying I signed 2 year agreement. It was a replacement not a new agreement.

You probably did sign a 2 year contract when you got your original jetpack. Just because you stopped using it and switched to Comcast does not negate your 2 yr obligation to Verizon. The 2 yrs would not have restarted with your warranty replacement - unless you used an upgrade rather than warranty to get the replacement.

Getting the "cannot get mail, password is incorrect" message with my AOL account only.

Getting the "cannot get mail, password is incorrect" message with my AOL account only. Could this have something to do with the iOS 7 update? When I log into my mail through safari it's fine, and I deleted it from my phone and went to go add it back but now I can't because it keeps telling me my password, which is correct, is incorrect. Has anyone else had this issue since iOS 7? How can I fix it?

I have had issues of "password incorrect" and mail not being sent, after doing the latest IOS 8 update to both my iPhone and iPad. I tired all the different suggestions I found (deleting and re-adding my AOL account, changing my password, etc) and nothing fixed it until now! While searching around for a solution, I happened upon a post from someone. I tried doing this to all three of my AOL email accounts (on both my iPhone and iPad) and now it works great! Here what that post said to do:
"1. Set up your AOL account(s) using the AOL option
2. Go into each AOL account(s) and under the "Outgoing Mail Server" section, press the SMTP entry
3. Set the "Primary Server" to "Off"
4. Press "Add Server" and provide the following information in the "Outgoing Mail Server" section
    a. Host Name - type in: smtp.aol.com
    b. User name - type in your user name WITHOUT the "@aol.com" - that was the problem/change!
    c. Password - type in your password
    d. Use SSL - On
    e. Authentication - Password
    f. Server Port - 587 (mine automatically set it to port 587)
After you enter in the above info, the Primary Server will still be set to OFF, but the new server you set will be set to ON, just doesn't show up in the Primary Server section. Be sure to do the above steps for each one of your AOL accounts (if you have multiples ones).
Apparently, in the main AOL Account Information section you need to use your user name and the "@aol.com", but you need to leave the "@aol.com" out of the SMTP. However, the Primary Server has that whole section grayed out so you need to ignore that one and create another one."
Good luck! Worked for me and now I am as happy as a Lamb!!

OS 5.0, Storm: URLs in SMS messages stop being clickable after the thread is opened the first time

I'm running 5.0.0.328 on a VZW Storm 9530.
After upgrading, I noticed that URLs in SMS messages and e-mails stop being clickable after a certain time. I'm not sure that this is so much a time issue as it is one with just getting X number of messages then breaking, but it works like this:
Battery Pull occurs
Storm reboots
Look at SMS messages, URLs can be clicked, opening them in the Browser
go on about my day
Get more SMS/eMail messages
Look at SMS messages, URLs can NOT be clicked. Have to be copied/pasted into browser to view.
Battery Pull occurs
Storm Reboots
I can again click on URLs and open them in browser
And that's how it goes. Initially, after a battery pull, the URLs in various SMS are underlined. Clicking them opens them in the browser. OR, I can touch them and hit the BB button, and select Open Link in Browser from the menu.
After some more testing, the problem appears to be related to the threading of SMS messages.
My test case is twitter. ALL my twitter messages are thrown into a single thread (I do NOT want this, by the way, I want individual SMS messages, NOT threads of them). SO let's say, for example, I have 25 SMS messages in the twitter thread. Immediately after the battery pull, I can open the thread, and after a moment, all URLs are underlined, clickable, and if I touch/hold for a second, highlighted and can be opened via the BB menu.
After exiting that thread to do other things, and then coming back to that thread, I have found that OLD SMS messages in the thread (the original 25 that were there when I did the battery pull) are still underlined, clickable, and so forth. However, any NEW messages added to the thread after I opened it the first time, are NOT clickable, NOT underlined.
My theory at this point is that the code that parses the SMS messages in a thread and then underlines the URLs making them usable, only runs that first time, and either does not run, or fails to run, on subsequent openings of that SMS thread.
Thus, if the messages were NOT threaded, then the code would run when each individual SMS was opened, eliminating this problem. OR, having that code run EVERY TIME a thread is viewed, to ensure it does the underlining/grabbing of URLs for new SMS messages.

Why is outbox not visible WHILE a mail is being sent?

When I am sending mail, the outbox is not visible.
The only time it appears is when there is a problem with the outgoing email and it gets 'stuck' - THEN I have an outbox.
Is there any way I can make the outbox remain visible, in case I have made a mistake, and wish to stop a mail from being sent after I have (accidentally or otherwise) clicked on 'send'?
I have a feeling that when I was running Tiger, the outbox was always visible.
I cannot remember what happened on Leopard. I am now on Snow Leopard.
thanks

Click on Window in the menubar while in Mail, and choose Activity. This will bring up a monitor with a Stop button. Several seconds is not long sometimes. Watch the monitor while trying to send -- take note of the time spent connecting to the server versus the time spent transmitting.
