Email authentication failure, password/server settings NOT changed
Scenario: I've been using Thunderbird for years now to connect to Verizon and download my email. Server settings have always been:
POP3
incoming.verizon.net port 110
connection security none
authentication method encrypted password
SMTP
outgoing.verizon.net port 25
connection security none
authentication method password, transmitted insecurely (oops)
Suddenly when I try to get my email, it stops and tells me there's an authentication failure. I've seen this happen before with Verizon when a server is down or messed up or whatever (pretty poor message for a service interruption, but whatev). So I decided to wait it out, but when it didn't clear up after several hours, went to the website where I was able to log in (huh?) and decided to change my password for the hell of it. Guess what? New password doesn't work in the email client. Quelle surprise.
Sooo, I find THIS page (https://www22.verizon.com/Support/Residential/internet/highspeed/email/setup+and+use/questionsone/86...) which tells me a lot of malarkey about server settings. I tried changing the incoming to their recommended settings, and it looks like there's no server communications a-tall.
Can someone tell me what's amiss, and while you're at it, tell me where in a just and well-ordered universe a service provider changes server settings without notifying users well in advance? Extra points for creativity.
These are the new settings and they do work in Thunderbird.
Mail server settings
Incoming mail server (POP3) pop.verizon.net
Incoming Server Port Numbers: 995
Outgoing mail server (SMTP) smtp.verizon.net
Outgoing Server Port Numbers: 465
Connection security: SSL/TLS for POP & SMTP
The change you are probably missing as it wasn't on that page:
Make sure your Authentication method is set to "Normal password" for POP & SMTP

Hi,
i have the following error from Presence Engine logs:
14:56:03.112 |system.pe.pa.owa.backend 1243662 ERROR -->EWSCalendarInfo::initiateRecovery: [email protected] POST 3 Authentication failure on server; Could not authenticate to server: ignoring empty Negotiate continuation, rejected Basic challenge
In Presence the Exchange SSL Connection/Certificate Verification is Ok. Where is the problem? Any suggestions?
Regards
JasonI have now checked the Exchange logs:
From a working device which is unsing same impersonate account:
2012-09-05 00:00:04 192.168.100.10 POST /ews/exchange.asmx - 443 DOMAIN\Impersonateuser 192.168.50.34 ExchangeServicesClient/14.00.0650.007 200 0 0 234
And from Cisco Presence with the same impersonate account:

It seems cisco cup could not use the impersonate user account, its missing. But i have tried different formats in CUPs gateway options:
DOMAIN\Impersonateuser
DOMAIN.LOCAL\Impersonate-user
Impersonate-user@domain
Impersonate-user
Any suggestions?

I need help authenticating my outgoing server settings in setting up my work email on my Galaxy S5. It says unable to authenticate or connect to server and I even called helpdesk at my email support and they tried every possible port (80, 25, 3535 or 465 SSL) and none of them work. Please help!
You will need to get the required info to create/access the account with an email client from your school.
Are you currently accessing the account with an email client on your computer - if you have a Mac with the Mail.app, or if you have a PC with Outlook Express, etc.? If so, you can get the required account settings there. -
Everytime I try to share/email photos it says server does not recognize password. I have tried email password as well as Apple password. Neither work.
iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts.
Delete your mail account and recreate it.

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
So my options are:
Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
Anyone else ran into this before?
I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Why when I try to update certain app it require an old email address and password I have not used for years and I do I get to update them on my new details
Apps are tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them and you will always need to use that ID and password in order to update them.
Saying that you do get to update them on your new details makes no sense at all. -
The email address and password entered are not in our records.
My bad if I am posting this is the wrong section, I have never had to use the BB forums.
I went to print out my certificate last weekend and was unable to log on. I tried to reset my password but got a message
"The email address and password entered are not in our records. Please check for accuracy and try again. If you are not a registered user, please create an account. If you think there is an issue with your account, please contact Customer Care at 888-BESTBUY (888-237-8289).
At first I thought it was a glitch over the weekend so I waited. I still cannot log onto my account. I just made this account so I can get some help.
Does anyone know of a solution where I won't have to call the hotline?
BTW if it helps a moderator, the email I used to create this forum account is the same as my BB reward email
Thank youGood morning cannotlogin, and welcome to the forum,
If your BestBuy.com and My Best Buy™ accounts are linked, then you should be able to login to BestBuy.com and view your My Best Buy™ account information. I am going to manually request that your BestBuy.com password be reset, so you should receive an email shortly with a link to reset the password. That link is only valid for two hours; however, once the password has been reset, you should be able to login to BestBuy.com.
If after resetting your password you are still unable to login to BestBuy.com, please let me know or feel free to send me a private message and I will take a second look. You can send a private message by clicking on the blue button located within my signature.

Cannot receive email. No issues with sending. Settings not changed. Help?
Nothing has changed with my email settings and I can successfully log in through webmail. I can send messages through Thunderbird but cannot receive anything. My account is not over its allotted size, so it isn't a space issue. Please help.
Maybe you need to change something to match a change your provider made.
Successfully logging into your account on the webmail page just confirms that you know your username and password. The webmail and POP or IMAP servers are two completely different things.
Do you get any kind of error message?
Get a current list of server settings from your provider and compare those with what you have in Thunderbird to see if you need to change anything. -
Authentication Failure (Password Mismatch)
Hi there.
I am having a nightmare trying to get my web server working under Snow Leopard. To cut a long story short the server died and I had to restore it using a disk image before I migrate it to a new mavericks server. For obvious reasons I'd like to get everything working before I migrate.
Whenever a users tries to access a secure page (mainly for svn access) they get rejected. If I try to access the page via safari/chrome I get a pop up window asking for a username and password. If the user enters their correct name and password it is constantly rejected (the name and password work elsewhere for email etc).
In the logs on the server I get:
[Wed Feb 05 16:34:33 2014] [error] [client 192.168.0.56] mod_auth_apple: User XXX authentication failure for "/xxx/xxxxxx": Password mismatch according to checkpw
[Wed Feb 05 16:34:33 2014] [notice] [client 192.168.0.56] mod_auth_apple: Authenticating using lookupd or checkpw failed, and no configured htaccess file (AuthUserFile)
If in Versions I try to refresh the svn repository I get:
OPTIONS of 'https://[email protected]/svn/project'://[email protected]/svn/project': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://server.name.com)
I am also having issues with iCal Server and AFP which makes me think there is some authorisation service which is corrupt/broken?
Any help MOST appreciated as I am tearing my hair out here!
Yours,
NicOk something I have worked out by a bit of trial and error.
NEVER run a server with two HDDs both with clones/installs of Mac OS.
My server had the internal (faulty HDD) with the original server install called Macintosh HD. The clone was on a USB drive called SnowLeopardServer_Backup.
Now for the most part the server worked (because most stuff uses Unix and proper paths). However it looks like all of apples stuff (Web services, iCal server and AFP) use the full path or at least components of them do. So because the server was originally set up on an HDD called Macintosh HD I can only suspect that it was freaking out by 1) now being on an HDD called something else and 2) that there was another HDD there called Macintosh HD.
I have now renamed my old HDD to something else and renamed all the OS folders in it to something different too. I also renamed the clone drive to Macintosh HD.
So far I turned on Web services and AFP and they work perfectly I have not turned on iCal yet as I want to ensure each service is working before turning on another.
Also finally got the holy grail of Kerberos and Open Directory triangle working. I though that the iCal/Web/AFP not working with accounts was Open Directory related so I backed it up (and WGM), change to standalone and then tried to go back to a Master. It complained about the DNS not being set up and I finally found a post saying that you need to have your DNS set to point at 127.0.0.1 in the System Preferences > Network settings. I changed that and boom no more complaints about bad DNS

Mail Server Relay Authentication Failure in Server Admin
I need to set up Mail Server to relay through my ISP. I know that I can authenticate to smtp.comcast.net:587 using my account and TLS usnig a mail client.
However, when I use Server Admin to configure my server's SMTP to send all outgoing email through this relay (Server Admin>Mail>Settings>General>
Rely outgoing mail through host: smtp.comcast.net:587
Authenticate to rely with user name: user
I get the SMTP error:
SASL authentication failed: cannot authenticate to server smtp.comcast.net[76.96.62.117]: no mechanism available
There are no toggles on Server Admin to specify TLS or SSL or anything for authentication.
Does anyone know how to tell Server Admin how to authenticate an SMTP relay to smtp.comcast.net using TLS, which is apparently what comcast expects?Wow, this is an obscure solution, but it works. According to this thread, the problem is that:
Although Comcast advertises "AUTH LOGIN PLAIN", the Postfix SASL library won't do plain text auth by default. It needs to be told it's okay with:
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
Solution:
$ su -
$ cd /etc/postfix
$ cp main.cf main.cf.no_smtp_sasl_security_options
$ echo 'smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous' >> ./main.cf
$ serveradmin stop mail
$ serveradmin start mail
I'm not sure how often /etc/postfix/main.cf is overwritten, but presumably this happens every time you change and save Mail settings in Server Admin, so you must redo these steps every time you change the Mail server if you want to use smtp.comcast.net as your mail relay.
AAPL, would you please add a toggle to handle this in Server Admin? -
Iphone 5s mail account server settings inadvertently changes
I have a 2009 Mac Book Pro (Mavericks 10.9.4) a 2014 iPad Air and iPhone 5s both on the latest iOS (7.1.2).
I have been having problems getting my iPhone mail server settings to remain as they are set up, and as recommended by my telco provider (Vodafone)
I want my iPad and MBP to be able to access my mail over wifi by being tethered to me cell phones 4G internet connection. I have gone through the set up with my telco on numerous occasions deleting and resetting server details but have never been able to get a stable set up.
For some unknown reason the mail server account settings on my iPhone get changed automatically with the addition of a duplicate pop.3 account, but with the same email and password yet a differently spelt user name. My telco say this is a fault with my recently purchased new iPhone or the most recent apple software rather than something that is a fault at their end.
Is there anything I can do to my phone to rectify this problem or is it as I assume a problem in some way with my account details with my telco?Hey karellan78,
Thanks for the question. You are in luck! We have a resource that deals with this specific issue. If the issue is isolated to your Gmail account, you may need to unlock the account from Google’s website:
iOS: Gmail account will not connect to Gmail server
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3058
Resolution
1. Check that your device is connected to the Internet by opening Safari and loading a webpage, such as google.com. If you cannot connect to the Internet, try the steps inthis article.
2. If you have other email accounts on the device, check if those accounts can send and receive email.
3. If the issue is isolated only to the affected Gmail account, visit this website:https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha.
Complete the form to unlock the account.
4. If the issue persists, follow this Google support article.
5. Once the account has been unlocked, or the correct password entered, check that the issue is resolved. If not, remove the affected Gmail account from the device and add it to the device again: Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > Add Account > Gmail.
Thanks,
Matt M. -
New server settings not working - temporary Verizon problem
I was having a lot of problems connecting with email, and did an online chat. I was told that they are having problems with the new pop and smtp server settings. He told me to change them back to the old incoming and outgoing, but keep the new ports. This fixed my problems. He said the new server settings should be working again within 24 hours.
BillSamuel wrote:
Now incoming and outgoing are not working, and pop and smtp are. I don't know how many times we will have to go back and forth among these settings. But if you can't connect the one way, you probably can the other way. This transition is not going well. Ideally, there should be a period of transition in which either will work, but instead it's going back and forth.
Maybe the problem is only on certain Verizon email servers. I am in VHO 1 (North Texas) and have been using these new pop/smtp settings for many weeks, not a single failure. And before that the incoming/outgoing settings for probably a year or more, again, no problems. This is on both Windows Live Mail and Thunderbird.
If people would put their location (preferably VHO, but state and/or town would be better than nothing) in their profile here, or include the info in their posts, it might help identify when problems are regional or location dependent. As it is now, when people just post that something doesn't work, and someone else says it does, there is no way for anyone to help or see a pattern. Just a thought.....

Email Authentication of password being sent to a different email address
Hello. Someone has hacked into my email account and then changed my details on my Apple account.
I have recovered my email account now and cancelled my credit card but when I try to login into my Apple account I can't as I no longer have the password.
When I ask for email authentication the email never arrives at my email account - this suggests to me that whoever hacked my account has chnaged where this email has been sent to - is this possible?
When I try to answer the security questions, I can't as whoever has hacked my account has changed the answers.
I have had to set up this new Apple account in order to access these messageboards.
All I need is for the authentication email to be sent to my correct email address. Can anyone help? If not, what should I do next.Because it's your rescue email address, which is specific to security-related emails and not used by Apple for any other purpose.

Thunderbird v 3 help info is different than what actually is shown in the edit option list. Menu location: Edit | Account Settings | <account name> | Server Settings
Looking for ISP setting that instructs ISP(rr) to keep emails on serer until erased by user. This setting was in earlier versions of Thunderbird. This settings is used to download email to other user computers. When user's computer breaks down user has to reload email onto new setup.
Scenario is to go to Thunderbird V 3 Edit --> Account Settings and discover this option no longer exists. See earlier version where you can go to Account Settings and select email to be left on server for optional number of days or until erased by user.
Thanks for help,
BobThis is my problem too. I don't usually need to edit settings but yahoo or gmail have had temporary problems with their smtp servers, when they do I can simply go to account settings and change from one to the other. Now when I open the account settings window and left or right click on ANY account or setting for an account in the left tree I get the error window with this message:
"The Local Directory path "C:\Users\Len\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\dlcdrtl6.default\Mail\Local Folders" is not suitable for message storage. Please choose another directory."
Clicking OK in the window brings up another message window with the same message as above:
"An account with this name already exists. Please enter a different account name."
I cannot exit the account settings box by clicking OK. I need to click cancel. This effectively makes it impossible to change any account settings. This worked a few months ago as I switched smtp servers when gmail had problems, now I'm screwed if I need to.
This is a problem with one of the new versions it should be marked critical as account settings need be configurable and I don't see any workaround like there is for pasting links. -
Content Server Settings not working (for PPM)
Hi,
We are on PPM5.0.
We have set up the Content Server settings according to the PPM
configuration guide.
We, however, still see the documents (uploaded in the project) showing
up on the PPM Server.
We checked the entries in table CFF_CONT (in the PPM server), and see
the contents updating when a document is uploaded. This makes us
conclude that the documents are still not being stored on the Content
Server.
Any switch/flag that needs to be set/reset in the WAS and/or Content Server that'll help??
Or anything else...???
Thanks.Earl Powers BSR2751547 Thank you all. your suggestions really helped.
