E-Mail Password Error

Last evening, I received a msg on the BB that I needed to update my password for my e-mail account. This is unusual as my e-mail password has not changed. The same thing happened last week also. Last week, I just re-entered the password in E-Mail Setup, and all was fine. However, last night I was not able to update the password. I keep getting an error that it is unable to be verified. I have tried from both the handset and the T-Mobile web site on my laptop. I have tried from both places again today with no luck.
A colleague also has a BB, but thru AT&T and he is experiencing the exact some problem, with the exact same times (he had it unexpectedly ask him to update the password last week also). The message appeared last night at 6:09pm Mountain for both of us.
Any ideas?

Hello, I seem to be having the same issue, however i could not remember my user name so i contacted my provider and the username that they gave me does not work. I have never changed my user name. Any suggestions?

I need a little help accessing my mail on my mac and my iphone 4s after changing my password on Yahoo as someone hacked my account. I can't get mail, I just get Password error every time :(

Hi people,
A little stumped for what to do here... I had my Yahoo hacked, changed my yahoo password (Yahoo is the account configured to 'mail' on both my mac and iphone)... however since changing my password I have found I can't access my mail on either with out it asking me to enter my password. When I do, it say's 'Password error'. Sometimes it re-directs me to the actual 'Yahoo' browser saying I need to verify my account, but basically I can't use the mail function on either device now! I know you may suggest deleting the account and re-installing it to each device and I feel this would probably work as well but (and this is the tricky bit)... all my NOTES are configured through Yahoo, only some are through icloud (which is odd). All notes are about 201, icloud about 77 and the rest on Yahoo and when I go to delete the account it says it will also delete all my notes :/ Now, I am a bit of a writer, and these notes are pretty sacred to me so losing them isn't an option. I don't want to lose them. Is there anything any one of you lovely peeps can suggest. It would be much appreciated.

Yes, you have encountered Activation Lock (Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support). The only way that phone will ever be usable is if the owner the phone is locked to releases it (see: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support). If you are lucky the phone is locked to the seller, so you can ask them to unlock it. If the seller is merely a middleman and the previous owner is not the seller it gets much more complicated. It's even possible that you bought a stolen phone, in which case you will never be able to use it and you should return it for a refund.

In mail, I keep getting the same "re-enter password" error msg even though the password in the mail accts is still there. This started on day 15 of a 30-day trip and continued until i walked into my office at home and my own wi-fi network. Fix?

iPad2 -- In mail, how come i suddenly get password error msgs on day 15 of a 30 day trip (preventing me from using Mail) until i return on day 30 to my home wi-fi, when all of a sudden everthing is OK again? How can i fix this when it happens again?

Probably your email provider requires that email access be made from a point on their network. This would not be the case while you were traveling be would again be true when you returned.
Check with your email provider (your ISP?)
It would help if you identified who is providing your email service.

My icloud e-mail won't come online. Keeps telling me there's a user/password error

I'm trying to bring my email online but I keep getting the same messge that icloud can't connect. When I run online doctor, it says the connection to the internet is good but all the red dots have a user/password error. I've gone through every password/user combo i've ever used and no dice. All of this didnt' start happening until I installed mountain lion. How do I fix this?

Your talking about the network preferences? Delete all those red dots.. (minus sign) then just put what you need back (plus sign). If you are wireless... then choose wifi. If you have an eithernet cable connected to your computer choose eithernet. Also to the right of those "red lights" There is something that says Location. Select Edit locations then press the plus sign and call it Automatic 2. Then delete all the other locations including the one that says Automatic. Then just rename the Automatic 2 back to Automatic.

Hi Pankaj,
Remove your mail server user id and password and keep authentication mode as Plain and try in mail adapter configuration.

Networked user accounts, mail passwords not saving or notes?

Hi there,
I have a mac mini set up as a server with latest software. On it i have 20 networked users which use between them for different mac mini's.
Problem which i have come across and i haven't found a solution yet. When i created them emails on there user accounts the incoming mail password won't save? On occasion i has saved, but once log out of the user and log back in the password has gone. which then it prompts me to keep typing the password in and won't save the password. This is very frustrating!!
I have also just noticed when i put message in notes and then log out and log in the the message has gone. This got me thinking it could be something with the user account not saving any data that put in? I don't really want to reformat the server if i don't have to.
If anyone has solution to this problem, it would really handy to know?

I click the Note button, nothing happens. The feature is completely out of service. I don't understand. Am I missing something obvious? I have tried the keystrokes too, no reaction at all, no errors, just can't use Notes, at all! rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Please help.
Update: I opened Console to see if I could find any errors immediate after trying to create a note and this is what I found:

How can I stop getting 30 - 50 "Mail Administrator" or "Mail Delivery Errors" from occorring in my e-mail on a daily basis

Every time I log in to my e-mail I see 30 to 50 "mail delivery" errors. This is very frustrating to each time having to delete those items. I have blocked and clicked on spam, but there is no change.

For goodness sake, it is most likely [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_%28email%29 backscatter], changing your mail password probably will not help but is a prudent thing to do, but it is actually quite unlikely that anyone is trying to use your mail account.
There is basically nothing that can be done about backscatter, as the article I linked to advises.

I have just installed the latest update ...IOS 7.0.4. Prior to this, my email worked fine. Now my AOL does not work; it gives an ID/password error. Everything works fine on my Windows computer. Any thoughts?

Macbook keeps forgetting mail password on restart

Why does my macbook pro lose mail password, go to default wallpaper, load calendar when I restart or turn on my computer? How can I fix this?

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

I keep being asked for my pop.mail password for my user address. Can you help please.

I keep being asked for my pop.mail password and I do not know what is meant. Can you help. I cannot receive or send messages on thunderbird. You say you have sent a reset message to me but it has not come through. I am searching messages on my ipad. I am on the verge of abandoning Thunderbird and continuing to use my ipad and yahoo account. Thank you for your help in advance.

Thunderbird has nothing to do with administering your email password and is not going to send you anything. I am not even sure where you requested that something be sent to you unless it is for the password to this forum which has nothing to do with your email.
Your email provider would have a link to reset your password on their email help page.
I would go to your providers web mail page and see if your username and password work thee. if they do then you might have incorrect server settings causing the password error.

Cannot save Mail password

This topic has been brought up before but I have not found a solution to my problem. Mail does NOT save my account passwords (POP or SMTP), which I have to input every time I launch the application. Here are the details:
PowerPC G4 733 MHz
OS X 10.3.9
Mail 1.3.11
Mail server: bluehost.com
Open Mail, select 'get mail' -- asks for password. Can get incoming mail after entering password.
Preferences: input password for POP account, save.
Reopen Preferences: PW not there, field is blank.
If select 'get mail' immediately after putting PW into preferences, does not ask for PW again.
Quit Mail, reopen Mail, 'get mail' asks for PW again, and PW does not appear in Preferences.
Have checked box in Mail to save PW in Keychain, does not save it in Keychain
Have repaired permissions using Disk Utility
Have run Keychain Repair, no problems found
Have manually entered Mail account PW into Keychain, then checked 'save' in Mail password dialogue box. Does not save PW for use in Mail. The info appears in the Keychain but I don't think it's actually doing anything, since I entered this manually.
Again ran Keychain Repair after manual entry of Mail account info, no problems found
Similar problems with SMTP password, although sometimes this actually seems to be saved in the Preferences after entry. Still asks me for the password the first time I send a message after launching the application, every time.
Occasionally I also get a 'password rejected' error message, but re-entry of the password is usually accepted.

OK. Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
The following is how you might be able to solve this problem in Mac OS X 10.4 -- I don’t know whether there are any differences in this regard in Mac OS X 10.3:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access
2. In Preferences > General, click Reset My Keychain and proceed as requested. A new (empty) login keychain should be created and the old one renamed and removed from the keychain list, but not deleted.
3. You can add the old (renamed) keychain (stored in ~/Library/Keychains/) back to the keychain list by clicking the [+] button in Edit > Keychain List.
4. You can move/copy password entries from the old keychain to the new one if wish.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Issues with changing Apple Mail password!?!

I just tried changing my Apple Mail password in the Mail Preferances window, within the incoming mail server "password" field. I saved my changes, and now every 2-5 minutes I get an error message telling me to enter my mail password in the pop-up field. I do so, and then I get the error message again 2-5 minutes later!! What's going on here??
I'm also not receieving incoming mail now...
Please let me know if you have a solution!

sounds like a keychain issue.
Try this:
go to Utilities > Keychain Access and delete all entries relating to that mail account.
in the keychain Access Menu, do Keychain First Aid. Enter your passord, pick repair, and click start.
Go back to Mail and delete that account (don't just inactivate it, delete it).
I don't know if a restart is necessary at this point, but it wouldn't hurt.
go back to mail and recreate the account

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.)

HT1694 Password error

I keep recieving a password error after I setup my account. I tried logging in from my computer with the same password and I'm able to. But when I try using setting up my account on my phone, it doesn't work. What's wrong?

It's my hotmail account that I'm talking about. When I sign in using safari on my phone, it works. But when I try to link it in my mail app, there appears to be a password incorrect even though I'm 150% sure it's the correct password.

How to stop voice mail password pop up on iphone 5

How do you stop the voice mail password pop up on the i phone 5?

Call your carrier & have them reset your voicemail. Then set such up with a password. Voicemail is a carrier feature, not a phone feature & most carriers require a password for such.
