Error message: Mail can't connect to the account "Yahoo"
Talked with Apple support and could not get this resolved. We first tried going to Mail Preferences and making sure everything on the accounts were correct. I do have two Yahoo email accounts on this computer. Next time I called we went to System Preferences - Mail, Contacts, & Calendar's and deleted each account. Then added them back. I'm still getting the error message.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.

The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

I have an IMAC, Mountain Lion. Each time I open my mail, a message box appears with the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google", followed by Enter the password for the user *****@gmail.com. The full account that appears is an account that I had previously deleted. I cannot prevent the message box from appearing. What do I have to tweak in order for this annoying box to keep reappearing. I have deleted everything I know of in Google mail and my IMAC mail. Thanks for any feedback
From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Look for the unwanted SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat. -
I keep getting this message: Mail can't connect to the account: "Sbcglobal". Enter the password... So I do and it opens up, but later it will happen again. It's not earth-shattering, but I keep having to stop what I'm doing to get rid of the annoying bouncing Mail icon.
If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked. -
Contacts can't connect to the account "Yahoo!".
I have a yahoo account and I check my emails using the Mail app that comes with my MacBook Air.
For some reason, Contacts can't connect to the account Yahoo. It keeps popping out a little window that says:
Contacts can't connect to the account "Yahoo!".
Enter the password for the user "[email protected]"
Password: [ }
I have entered my password over a dozen times and it tries to connect. A few times the little windows keeps coming back and I have tried re-entering the password. I have checked and double check I enter the right password. Then other times, it comes the same little window but a different message. The window is tittled: The operation could not be completed and under that it says: No other information is available about the problem.
I have also gone to Preferences for Contacts and then click on "Edit Account...". When I do that, the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" window opens. Next to my Yahoo account I click on "Details". When I do that, a Yahoo little window opens displaying my email address and below there are 3 boxes. First one has my name. Second one has my password. I have tried re-typing my password over a dozen times. Then finally, the last box says Description and there I have Yahoo!
I hope someone knows what is my issue or if there is an issue between Apple and Yahoo where they don't talk to each other well.
Thank you
JamesThank you Linc for looking after my post.
I checked in my Yahoo account under:
Set up your second sign-in verification
Back to account info
Protect your account
Second sign-in verification adds an extra level of protection to your account. Learn more
Get started
and I currently don't have that option activated.
Can you elaborate as where or how can I find out where I could have activated a 2-step verification.
Thank you

Every time I open Reminders it brings up a reference to an account that is not mine and asks for a password for an e-mail address which is not mine. I have to cancel to proceed.
Does anyone else ever have physical access to your computer? Does the address belong to one of your friends/family/contacts? Have you recently had to take in your computer for repair, or given remote access to anyone?
It's very unlikely that you have been hacked - a hacker does not normally add their own email address to your system.

Emails will not send - Mail can't connect to the a...
After having no issues with sending emails for years suddenly I am continually getting the following meassge when trying to send emails. Eventually after putting this password in up to twenty times the email will send.
The message is:
Mail can't connect to the account "mail.btinternet.com:[email protected]" Enter the password for user "[email protected]"
This is happening on all of our computers: Macbook Pro, Macbook Air and Imac and started about 2 weeks ago. It occurs for every sent email.
Any ideas on how to stop this?MatM wrote:
I have logged into Bt.com and there is no issues there. Sent an email from there an it was received.
Also spent 2 long hours sharing a screen with someone from BT who obviously didn't know what they were doing as they did not even look in the MAIL preferences.
This is the error message we receive:
The server “mail.btinternet.com” cannot be contacted on the default ports.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
Any reason why there server can't be reached. We have been using these settings for years without issue?
Thanks
Mat
Hi.
What port is set in your smtp account ?
It could be that your whole account has now been transferred to Critical Path - you can tell this from logging into webmail via bt.com - if it doesn't say BT Yahoo in the title area, you've been transferred and should alter the settings.
This will, of course, probably cause issues for 100s of 1000s of people. An email should have been received titled "The new BT Mail is coming your way", and gives some details including a link of what to do to various devices and mail clients :-

Trying to set-up new godaddy mail account. Walked through it with the godaddy rep, so the settings are correct. It is a pop account and I merely want it to function within Mail. (I have other accounts like it that work with no problem.) However, when I try to go online with the account, I get this error message: "Internet Accounts Preferences can't connect to the account..." It then prompts me to enter the password for the account and says it is "Unable to verify account or password."
Godaddy says it is an Apple Mail issue because the account works fine in their Workspace. I sent test messages and when I login at godaddy, the messages are there. However, for some reason, Mail won't connect to it. Any ideas?
Thank you. I'm running OS X, version 10.9.4.Yes. The account is there. There's just a verification with password issue. I had to change my password at Godaddy to include caps, special character, etc., and reinstall the account. Then I had to tweet the settings a bit. But think I have it resolved. Thanks.

This happened yesterday afternoon. My iPhone 5 and iMac are both working properly. When I go to settings, icloud, it takes much longer than usual to open and then I get the error message. I've tried rebooting but that didn't help.

Hi, I am having problems with itunes and my ipad........
I can use my ipad on my laptop but it will not connect to my main PC, I get the error message:
"itunes could not connect to the ipad because an invalid response was received from the device"
I have done all the Apple support ideas including re-installing itunes twice but no joy.
It used to work a week or so ago and no, I can't think of anything I have done which would have stopped it.
I have run msconfig and disabled everything but still no connection.
Anyone got any ideas?????iPad not appearing in iTunes

I get an error that says can't connect to the itunes store when I search for a specific artist only
Hi all,
When I try to search for music by a specific artist in the iTunes store on my iPhone 5, I get an error that says "Can't connect to the iTunes store". This only happens when I search for music by this band. I can search for other artists and listen to song clips and everything seems to be connecting to the iTunes store just fine. But for some reason, it doesn't work with this artist. The band name is July for Kings. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but I hope so!
Thanks,

hopefully they can help. You may also be interested to know that for some reason it is just not available to a lot of people at the same time. Appears to be an issue of more users than their servers can handle. Has happened periodically for at least 6 months that I know of but apparently users are able to use within several days if there are no other issues with the users device.
