HT204075 Mail can't connect to server because password is incorrect

Hi,
Since I updated my mac book air with the last OS X 10.10.2, my email has been completely broken. I cannot send or receive.
I use Register.com with a personalized email (@perrinparis.com) and have never had any issues before. I spent 1 hour on the phone with one of their technicians who made sure all my settings (ports) were correct.. But it still isn't working. I unchecked use SSL and 'Automatically detect and maintain account settings'.. It still says it can't connect to the server. My hotmail account works just fine.
I have deleted and re-added my account several times..
I'm hopeless

I had the same problem after upgrading to 10.10.2 last week.  Mail.app wouldn't connect to my Yahoo! or iCloud mail accounts.  I tried Unibox instead of Mail and that worked for a week, but then Unibox had the same problem.  Ultimately, what fixed Mail for me was to log out of iCloud in System preferences, delete my Yahoo! mail from System Preferences / Internet Accounts, then restart the Macbook Air into safe mode (hold down the shift key while booting).  While in safe mode, I went into System Preferences / iCloud, logged in, and enabled Mail, and then added my yahoo account in Internet Accounts.  Finally, Mail started to connect to all my accounts and I was able to receive and send mail again. 
I restarted normally and everything has been working fine since then.  While my reply is not guaranteed to work for you, I sincerely do hope this helps!

  • Outgoing mail can't connect to server after update

    I updated my iphone and ipad and desktop when the new update came out. My email works only on my iphone and ipad.  My computer recieves messages, but can not send them.  It says it is "offline" and "can't connect to server" uggggh. This has been going on for at least a month now.  I called Time Warner Cable and they basically said they could not help me.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hello,
    Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
    In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
    Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

  • Mail can't connect to server

    Just got the iPhone 4S. Have been trying to set up my Yahoo mail account. Deleted the account from my iPhone 3GS - but it's STILL saying cannot connect to server.

    I am having the same problem, since about 12:30PM yesterday.  I am in Eastern time zone.  I contacted Yahoo since nothing has changed on my side, and my Plus account is still active.  All they did was give me instructions on how to clear my browser cache and told me to try again in a few hours.  I'm able to access Yahoo Mail just fine via browser, iPad and iPhone...just not Mail on my MacPro.  I do think it's an issue with Yahoo's servers.  There are quite a few reports of OS X Mail users having the same issue around the same time.  The best thing you can do at this point is open up a support case with Yahoo and wait for further info.
    If you are indeed experiencing the same issue, you will see an error icon next to your Yahoo account inbox in Mail.  If you click it, a message will pop up stating "....The attempt to send data to the server "(null)" failed."  This tells me either Mail is suddenly not specifying a server to contact (highly unlikely) or the server has gone down or is not receiving data properly (likely).

  • AOL Mail Can not connect to server

    I am having problems with the email client on the playbook. I have both AOL and Yahoo email accounts. Both accounts downloaded properly since the 2.0 upgrade, but recently, another update was downloaded and now my AOL account keeps popping up "unable to connect to server" but yet the email is there. However, every now and then, when you try to "read" it, it just keeps downloading. Any one else have this problem and know of a fix?

    I would delete the all account and reconfigure it. It should be am IMAP Account.

  • Yahoo mail can't connect to server

    I've started having this issue as well. First time about a month ago I deleted Yahoo mail from my phone and added it back. Didn't help. Then one day the mail account just started syncing again. Now I'm having the same issue again. Keep getting the 'cannot get mail', 'connection to the server failed' message.Not sure what I did. How about nothing? Do I just wait it out again like last time? Or is there a fix for this? And why does it keep happening?

    All your questions needs to be directed to Yahoo.
    It is a known issue with Yahoo mobile mail.

  • Mail can't connect to isp server. provider says it's an internal issue

    mail can't connect to isp server. provider says it's an internal issue, mail is set up corectly.

    Are connecting exclusively through IMAP or through POP?   IMAP automatically stores all the e-mails on the server.
    POP gets them onto your Mac.   The advantage of IMAP, unless you desire, you are not downloading all the attachments to your hard drive, and bandwidth issues of downloading slowing you down with lots of large attachments are avoided.   The other advantage with IMAP, you can try a web based e-mail to see if your e-mail program missed downloading everything.    http://www.mail2web.com/ is my favorite web based e-mail.  I recommend at least trying it to see if it will let you see your e-mail.  Any custom folders will be invisible, but at least anything in your inbox should be visible and usable.
    Are you using any other e-mail software for forwarding, such as gmail?

  • I can't get my mail it keeps saying can't connect to server. Have I turned something off ?

    I can't get my e mail to work it keeps saying can't connect to server. Have I turned something off?    help!!!!!! :))))

    Under the email provider find the account from which you can't send (you mention Yahoo) and click on that, then the first thing on the next page is the email address so click on that and scroll down to advanced, there you'll find SSL settings. I can provide screenshots if you still require help although I don't have a Yahoo account the instructions are the same for any email account.

  • Can't connect to vista pc anymore/ cannot connect to server because

    I'm getting an error saying it cannot connect to server because username or password is not correct. Everything was fine on my old belkin router but i've had this issue since changing over to the new airpotr extreme.
    My windows vista pc has sharing on (for the folders i need) I even shut my firewall down etc but the pc still doesn't show up in my networks. I tried my laptop and that worked no problem but its a power book not windows.
    any suggestions out there? thanks

    Hello,
    Try this:
    1. Make sure you have installed the AirPort software on your Vista PC
    2. Reboot the PC
    3. On the AEBS(n), under Disks --> File Sharing, set Guest Access: Read and Write
    4, On Vista PC, select "Guest Access" in the AirPort Utility
    5. AirPort Disk should show up in "My Computer" as z/AirPortDiskName
    At least that's how mine is et up, and it works fine for Vista.

  • Ever since i forgot my apple id password and changed to a new one, I am continually being asked to enter my iCloud password. It then says that this mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "my username". nothing I do in in preferences helps.

    ever since i forgot my apple id password and changed to a new one, I am continually being asked to enter my iCloud password. It then says that this mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "my username". nothing I do in in preferences helps.

    You have to sign out completely in System Preference>iCloud (click 'Sign out') on a Mac, or Settings>iCloud on an iOS device (click 'Delete account' - this will not delete the account from the server). Then sign in with the new password.
    Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac or device when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in.
