Email password for SMPT disappeared!

I don't know remember password, and I can't see how to change it! I can only get emails online now, and not in my Mail app! please help...thanks

Hi DrNitun,
Thanks for your contribution.
As I read your post I assume you have four accounts in use. A business mail account, a gmail and two Yahoo accounts.
If you only check one Yahoo account do you experience the same behavior or is this only when you try and access two different accounts through the same server?

Email password for Lumia 900

Hello,
I have four email accounts on my Lumia 900. Two of them, which are Yahoo! accounts, are acting up. All of a sudden, periodically, the email client will ask for the passwords for both accounts (whereas the other two accounts-a work email account and a gmail account) are auto-retrieving emails just fine.
What could have made my Yahoo! accounts act this way where it is asking for my password? The passwords are saved in the settings. Could it be my smpt and pop setting address??
Please help....

Can I use the same email & password for 2 separate macs on FaceTime?

Can I use one password and email address for two separate Apple computers (ie., iMac & MacBook Pro)?

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Restart your broadband device and your router, if different. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or obviously invalid, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
Step 4
Back up all data, then take the steps suggested in this support article.
There are five steps in that article. Please take all of them. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
Step 5
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, make a note of them and then deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server. Restore the previous settings if that happens.
Step 6
Select from the menu bar
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane.
Step 7
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
Step 8
Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
Step 9
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 10
Reinstall OS X.
Step 11
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.

IPhone complains about email password for non-existent account.

I upgraded from my 1st gen iPhone to a 3Gs the other day.
Now when I try to send email, I get an error stating that "Cannot Send mail.no password provided for "iat""
link to the screenshot.
http://filebin.ca/mukgzm/IMG_0309.jpg
I've not had an "iat" email account on my phone since before September 2008, and even then, it was never set up properly as the mail-server wasn't allowing IMAP connections from outside, so it was deleted before it was working.
My default SMTP server is my own server, on it's own domain (vehentis) and my secondary is my work email server. Nowhere in my mail settings does the word IAT even appear.
Anyone got any ideas?

The account has been completely deleted, yes.
I don't syncronise my email accounts in iTunes, as I have my own IMAP email server and run thunderbird on the macbook. I don't, however, recall seeing any email account settings at all within iTunes.
My email accounts are set to check on a 15 minute basis, and I'm often checking both accounts more frequently than that.
As for power-cycling the phone, I received it on Tuesday. Activated it and set it up from a backup of my old iphone which had been taken on Friday, and it's been reset twice since then. It's rarely powered down as it sits in the desk cradle at work, in a cradle on my bedside table at night, and is in my pocket the rest of the time.

My iPad receives email on the hotel wifi but will not send. The error message reads "user name or password for smpt......is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged. Restarting iPad did not help.

I did try this too, but when I access my webmail on the iPad, the iPad doesn't allow me to type my message. I am able to enter in the "to" address and the "subject" line, but then the keyboard will not come up for me to type my message. Is there some trick to this? Very frustrating!

Email Password Problems (Password corrupt?)

Hi there,
I need a mod to have a look at a friends email password for her.
She hasn't been able to receive email for around 10 days via Windows Live Mail on Windows 7. It suddenly stopped working with no changes made to the settings.
I've logged on remotely and checked all settings, all settings are fine. We have reset the password 3 times now via the instructions on the BT Support Site and via Desktop Help. The password resets successfully but when we enter the new password we still get the same error.
The ports were different when I first logged on to what they are here - http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44917/c/346
I have changed them now to reflect the instructions in that link but still no joy, we still receive the same error whatever the settings
Unable to send or receive messages for the Btinternet (xxxxxxxx) account. An incorrect password was entered. The next time you send or receive messages, you'll be asked to enter your user name and password for this account.
Server Error: 0x800CCC90
Server Response: -ERR [AUTH] invalid user or password
Server: 'mail.btinternet.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC92
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): Yes
I should add that I tried setting up a new IMAP account and the password worked fine that way but we don't really want to have to go through the process of transferring all the old mail stored in the inbox and sent folders etc on the laptop from the POP account to the new IMAP one if we set one up.
Could a mod please check what is happening with the password please and whether it is corrupt somehow?
Thanks in advance.

If the password works on webmail and IMAP it is more likely a setting on your Windows Live Mail that is incorrect or her Windows Live Mail account has become corrupted. If the settings do not work you should save all her emails and then delete the account and re-set it up.

First determine your Mac OS X version before posting to the forum, and picking the correct article by going to Apple menu -> About This Mac. Here are the directions that are valid for all Mac OS X versions for passwords.
You may find you can access the mail password info through the Keychain Access application as well.

I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. my iPad recognisIes the change of id but on my MacBook Air, iCloud just keeps asking me for a password for the old email address/account. How can I get iCloud to recognise the new details? Help please!

I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. My iPad recognises the new detail in iTunes and iCloud but when I go into iCloud through my MacBook Air, it requests a password for the old email account which I can no longer use. There is no Option to be able to change this email/ID detail as I cannot get further than the password request. Can anyone help please - this is driving me insane?!

Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID? (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

For some reason or other I can't remember my password for my apple id and when I go to reset it I can't find the email they have sent me.

For some reason or other I can't remember my password for my apple id and when I go to reset it I can't find the email they have sent me.I think they are sending it to my apple email [email protected] which I can't access as they are telling me my password is wrong and send me an email message to this email address which I cannot remember the password for. I am in a vicious circle.Support have emailed me and stated they can't change it?!

Sign in at http://icloud.com with the new ID and password and confirm that your data is still all there.
Then sign out in System Preferences>iCloud then sign back in with the new ID and password. Your data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out, but will reappear when you sign back in.

I forgot my icloud email password. I use a different email account for my AppleID. How can i reset my Icloud email password?

I need to reset my password for my iCloud email. I forgot the password because I made it about a year ago and forgot to write it down. I used my iCloud email which it *****n****[email protected] for many of my social media accounts. I have recently found out that if I want to reset my password for a social media account, that it will not go to my imessage. I have not yet set up *****n****[email protected] on the mail app, which is what I am assuming you have to have if you want social networks to email you on your mobile phone. I can not set up *****n****[email protected] on the mail app though, because I do not know the password. I also have a separate email for my AppleID account, and yes. I have reset the password for my applied account, to see if it would also reset my icloud email address password. Thank you, and I am sorry this was confusing.

Applied.apple.com manage apple I'd. Input apple I'd. Send email authentication(and email should send to your rescue account) or authentication with security questions.... does not resolve your issue?
