E mail won't accept password

My e mail provider direcway.com was purchased by hughes.net and I am being "forced" to change my e mail address. I managed to follow there twisted instructions and set up my new account on the web and to get my old e mails forwarded to my new e mail account...but only when accessed via the web. When I try and use my e mail account thru the dock i keep getting an error message that my password is wrong. My passwords have not changed. The help line for the new provider is impossible to deal with and I would have to take a leave of absence from my job just to sit on the phone all day. Any suggestions?

Did you remember to change the ISP settings and account name in your mail program? (I hope this doesn't come off as a dumb question --- it's the kind of thing that's easy to overlook when you're focused on getting the network settings changed over.)

Mail won't accept password

No matter how many times I type the correct password to my email account in mail I constantly receive this message:
+The POP server “mail.xxxx.com” rejected the password for user “yy”+
Why is this? I'm just trying to set up my account for the first time in Mail.
I had too many problems with Mail in 10.3 and 10.4, so I just used Entourage with this specific email account and it worked fine.

Why is this?
Some operator error
Could be any of lots of things including:
-incorrect password
-wrong case of one or more letters (most passwords are case sensitive)
-incorrect account name
-some ISP issue
-others I have not thought of
Be assured that Mail does work and literally millions of people are successfully using it so the problem is either with you or with your ISP

Can't get email address for printer won't accept password

Went to eprint center to register printer, worked fine,but when we tried to give printer email address so we can email to printer from remote locations won't accept password no matter what itry
This question was solved.

MasterBinker, have you tried using the Forgot Password link in the sign in page for ePrintCenter? This should send a new password to the email address.
You may also want to try using a different web browser.

GMail won't accept password using Mac Mail

I set up my POP access according to Gmail's directions, and can log
onto the account fine on the web but it won't accept my password using
Mac Mail. Anyone dealt with this before? Please let me know. Thanks.
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Please disregard, I've figured out the problem. In case it could help someone else, when asked for the User Name, you have to include the "@gmail.com" where with Apple Mail, you don't have to.

Mail won't sync with my .mac account - won't accept password

I have a MacBook running the OS X 10.6.8. Recently I have found that I cannot sync my Mail with my .mac account. I can log on through the internet to iCloud and read emails (I know my password is valid), but when I try to get them synced to my Mail account it won't accept the password. It looks like this may be a conflict with Mail not being updated to iCloud, but I am unsure. I have not found an update that will update the Mail to link with iCloud. My computer is also not new enough to update to the new Lion OS. Am I stuck? This has been very discouraging and I have been wasting hours of valuable time trying to figure out how to fix this.

Did you turn on iCloud Drive by any chance? If so, then until Yosemite comes out, you won't be able to sync your documents and data to your Mac:

HELP .. mail 3.2 won't accept password

I have several email accounts that have been working until today.
One of the accounts will not allow me to check email. It keeps asking for the password and then it won't accept it.
I have tried going into preferences/accounts to re-enter the password and it still won't work.
Nothing has changed and all the other accounts are working fine.
I even went into keychain and deleted the account file and it will not accept the password.
Please help me .. I need to check my mail.
Chuck

I suggest running Keychain First Aid on your login keychain via Keychain Access.
Have you tried logging in to this account via webmail access using a browser to confirm you are able to login and access the account with this password separate from the Mail.app?

MAIL won't accept correct password

When trying to open my register.com POP email account in MAIL, I am prompted to enter my account password (even though it is already entered in the Mail Account set-up). After entering the password, MAIL tells me that the POP server rejected the password - even though when I access my email account through a browser, the password works fine.

Greetings,
It sounds as though your Keychain may have a corrupt entry. If so, you can fix it like this:
Quit Mail if it's running.
Open Keychain Access > Passwords > Internet and scroll through the list until you find the entry for that mail account and delete it. Quit Keychain Access.
Restart Mail and enter the password for that account when asked, and check the box to save it in the Keychain. If all goes well, it will accept it.

Dumb mistake, now mail won't recognize password

I'm a Verizon DSL customer and use my Apple Mail.app for all my mail. I just was on the Verizon site updating some personal info and saw there was an upgrade for a Verizon/Yahoo deal. I did the upgrade but, like many companies, their set up was not working correctly with my Imac (G4 Imac - 3 years old). After going through the whole set up process and not liking the results, I discontinued the upgrade. It had linked my Verizon account to my Yahoo account. I reverted back by unlinking Verizon from Yahoo on the web based account management page (Verizons page). BUT NOW MY MAIL.APP WON'T RECOGNIZE MY PASSWORD! I didn't change my password! The prompt says:
"The SMTP server “outgoing.verizon.net” rejected the password for user “(my name)”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
I've already tried going into my account and typing in my password but it's being stubborn and won't accept it as the correct password!! What happened and what can I do to fix this?
Vanessa

Thanks Allan but I tried many times deleting and re-entering my SMPT, no luck. It's funny, I've always been able to access my e-mail on Verizon's web based site, it's the same e-mail that's accessible by my Mail.app. I logged into my web based Verizon mail with my same log-in information that is saved in my Mail.app. I was able to log-in everytime, so my password is still being accepted by Verizon's web based mail. I have a sub account in my Apple Mail.app with different user name but same password and IT IS RECEIVING AND SENDING MAIL. That should be a big clue to those of you who know more about this than me...lol!

Won't accept password after leopard install

I just upgraded my iMac OS10.2.8 to Leopard and all went well until the restart. I normally have auto login since I'm the only user but now the password login pops up and it won't accept any of the passwords I enter. Help!

Hi there. New user. My two small children were trying to access my computer and now my password does not work. All these messages started to come up including Mail wants to use the login keychain; PubSubAgent...Dotmacsyncclient... They keep popping up and my old password won't work. It also seems to be interupting my email sending as well. It asks repeadily for my email account passwords (they work though) Help! I work from home and am really nervous about these problems. Thanks so much!

Mail won't accept any commands post IOS 5

Just dopwnloaded IOS5. Now, I can open Mail, it downloads my emails well enough but then it won't accept any interaction.
Really bizarre... Anyone had similar issues?

I just called Bell and we switched Bell to my primary SMTP and my home to the secondary and now I can send email from my iPhone again.
Not sure why this changed with iOS 5.0?

Mail app not accepting password

I have 7 e-mail accounts. 6 are Gmail and 1 is my university e-mail. Three of them are old (Gmail), three of them are new (Gmail). For some reason, my mail application refuses the password on the old ones and not the new ones. I recently had to change all my passwords because my PayPal account was compromised but Mail continues to reject the password on the old three. This has happened once before too.
Odd thing is Mail usually accepts those passwords and I can still log in through gmail.com so the password is correct. It's very frustrating,

Hey, I had the same exact problem.
This seemed to fix it: https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
Just enter in your account info and it clears up the problem.

Won't accept password when waking from sleep.

a client of mine is having an issue where her mac won't accept her password after waking from sleep. The same password works when she restarts. She has confirmed that caps lock is off. Any Ideas?
I left her a message trying to find out more details about her computer like OS version and stuff. Will update this when i hear from her.

She still hasn't returned my call, but i know that she is able to type. Whether its wifi keyboard or not I do not know.

New iPhone6 won't accept password

Just delivered. Backed up old 5s to iCloud. No problem.
But when I want set up new iPhone using iCloud, it won't accept my password.
I'd call support but new phone's serial number not available.

Thanks, but weirdly, it wasn't!
But when I went online again, the apple site suddenly knew about my phone and showed me my serial number (probably because I bought applecare)

Wifi won't accept password

IPhone connects to home wifi easily; iPad suddenly won't - no changes were made from yesterday, so..? Already tried hard reboot on iPad, unplugging wifi box from power source, set to WPA, putting in name of network/password - all over and over. No wifi connection. Then changed home wifi channel back to 6. Did all previous steps again, still no go. Name of home wifi shows up every time on iPad..but when it asks for password, it won't accept it to make a connection. iPhone still connects and stays connected easily. Infuriating, Apple. (newer retina iPad)

My ipad and iphone suddenly stopped recognizing wifi password after returning from holiday.
This worked for me:
Settings>Wifi>click on your Network >click on right arrow to right of name>Forget this network>Forget> click back to settings>wifi.
Your network name should still be there. Click on it and re-enter your password. Bingo!
