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 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:

    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.

    Hello milkisoo,
    Wow! Purchasing a new computer and monitor should be a fun and exciting experience, and instead, it sounds like it’s turned into a complete nightmare. I can only imagine your disappointment when you found two charges relating to its purchase on your debit card account, and I’m sorry for any aggravation this caused. 
    As I want to provide you some piece of mind, I pulled up your order number using your email address attached to the forum. After review of its payment information, I found we collected only one payment.  However, when orders are first placed on BestBuy.com, a pending authorization should show up on your bank card to make sure funds are available for the order until it is fulfilled. From there, the authorization should drop off and the collection charge should appear.  This is the case for your one charge of $1,051.69.
    It also sounds like an error may have occurred when you initially attempted to place your order,  resulting in one of your gift cards not registering properly and the order not being completed.  Your card’s issuing bank doesn’t appear to have recognized this and pushed through the pending authorization. This occurred a second time when your account information didn’t quite match up with what we had on file. Please know that we haven’t ordered a collection of these funds and your issuing bank should release the two pending authorizations within 5 to 7 business days.
    Thank you for posting.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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!

  • Cannot boot from HDD, Login won't accept password

    I have a iBook G4 1Ghz, 768mb. 10.4.3
    External HDD is a Prolific PL3507 120gb. Some time ago I cloned the iBook onto a partition using SuperDuper. Recently, wanting to test the clone I rebooted holding down the 'Option' key, selected the HDD volume which is seen by the iBook. (I couldn't select it otherwise could I, doh!).
    Start up seems to go as it should, but slowly, but then gets to a login window which will not accept my usual login. When the clone was done I had a different password, but it won't accept that either. I have changed the iBook password back to what it was at the time of the clone, still no result.
    I have tried from Startup Disk in System Preferences, again the volume is seen as a startup volume but I still get the login window and the 'shuddering' box, whatever I put in as user/password. Sometimes I get the rainbow wheel for about 15 secs while it 'thinks' about my password and then the shuddering box.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance,
    Adrian

    See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106156 for other options. If none work, reclone.

  • 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!

  • ITunes won't accept password on MacBook Pro

    This is a recent problem that just started happening - everytime iTunes opens it won't accept my password. No error message - it just keeps prompting me to enter password. I can use itunes but can't log in to my account for app updates or itunes store. Password works fine on iphone and for logging in to this forum, and i Message. Tried reseting and also repairing permissions as suggested in other posts - neither of those worked.

    *Hi Kyoki,*
    *Welcome to AD. Nice to have you here. Yeah it's very frustrating having your computer crash and losing your music. I hope once you're able to add your music back from your iPod that you'll keep it backed up on an external hard drive or DVD's/CD's... Were you able to contact Apple Support to assist with the password reset process?*
    Thanks

  • Windows 8 Won't Accept Password

    Bought new Windows 8 computer. I didn't like it, so gave it to my husband who reset with his user account and password. After working perfectly fine, all of the sudden wouldn't accept password. Although KNEW the password, went through process to reset Microsoft
    password. Nothing. More reading. Started in Safe Mode (after LOTS more reading). Nothing. After lots and lots and lots of more reading, finally was able to use the command prompt feature and create a new password. It worked! Turned machine on and off several
    times to make sure password was fine.
    All okay until let daughter use the computer. After successfully using the computer and password several times, she turned it on, typed in the password when requested and it wouldn't accept it. She called us to verify password she was using was correct.
    It was. Finally, after about the 4th-5th attempt, it accepted the password.
    What is happening and why? What can we do to keep this from happening again?
    We don't have a back-up disc, and obviously, many "fixes" cannot be used because we can't log-in to the machine to use them. This is really frustrating and certainly makes us wish we had spent more money and purchased a machine with "a different
    operating system."
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    For this problem, it's hard to verify why this thing happen. Gererally speaking, it can be caused by User Profile crash. The workaround method is belows:
    Use SFC /scannow command to fix system file.
    Create a new account for test.

  • HELP! Viewer builder won't accept my adobe ID!

    I'm using the same Adobe ID (which is the only one that I've used since the beginning of the process) to open the viewer builder and everything in DPS and this screen won't accept it. Is this a common issue? I already uninstalled it and installed it again and it doesn't seem to budge.
    I'm really desperate, since I need to have this uploaded ASAP.
    Any pointers? I appreciate your collaboration.
    thanks!

  • Mail suddenly won't accept password.

    After well over a year of flawless performance, Mail (1.3.11) out of the blue started rejecting the password we've been using. No way I can get it to authenticate with rebootings, etc.
    I created a second account with the same settings in case that initial account info got corrupted. Didn't work.
    Email still works fine, and password accepted as usual, when we go to our mail provider's IMAP site.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, then Window > Keychain First Aid, and proceed to repair the keychain. If that doesn’t work, you may try removing the password entry from the keychain and letting Mail create it again the next time it asks for it.
    Note, however, that Mail often doesn’t correctly report what the problem really is. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it’ll ask for your password, regardless of whether that’s really the problem or not. Don’t keep entering the password every time, because that’s not the problem (click Cancel instead, and take the account back online afterwards).
    Some ISPs refuse connection attempts if they are too frequent, for example, or limit the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed from the same IP address, or the account may have become full, or there might be a problem with the network, or there might be a problem with the server... If the latter (i.e. if there is a problem with the network or the server), the problem will probably fix itself after some time for no apparent reason.
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
    What’s the time interval chosen in Mail > Preferences > General > Check for New Mail? If it’s set to Every minute, try changing it to Every 5 minutes.
    Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
    You may also want to check with the provider of this account in case they’ve made some changes recently that could have a bearing on this.
