HT2623 rejected email password

I keep getting that my password for my me.com email account is being rejected.
I hadn't changed a thing when this started happening and for the past few hours of going into that account and checking/changing the passwords it keeps rejecting it. Any thoughts?? Thanks

Mail - Preferences - Re-input all of your preferences. It sounds like one or more is corrupt, by re-inputting them this will re-establish them.

HT204187 Email account does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

I have seral email accounts on my Mac. One does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

Yahoo rejecting my email password in Lion

Pulling my hair out.
have to change the password everytime I need to send an email.
Please help!

Hi, it was very kind of you to reply to my question.
The trouble is - Yahoo/BT, radomly reject my password on my iPhone, iPad, and computers.
The only way I can get mail is to change my password and reset my devices, which I have to do several times a day to collect my mail.
Or alternatively, I can sign in with a browser and download my mail.
Or alternatively I can use .me.
This has been happening since I 'upgraded' to Lion.
All my kit is brand new - bought in the last month.
And I have been using Apple gear for twenty years – so I'm in a bit of a pickle.
PS. I'm a small business owner.
PPS. This is really effed up.

Email password rejection trouble

On behalf of my mother!
Clients: iMail, iPhone iMail (set to Push)
Protocol: IMAP
At first it was just the desktop Mail which rejected the password, now however it is both. I have logged into the Yahoo mail web application, which works fine. I also changed the password, however neither client works.
I am now aware that this used to be a fairly major problem (http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/E-mail-password-rejection/td-p/234061/page/68) but that thread was locked months ago and this is a recent problem.
Suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

Hi CraigS,
I was surprised by your reply to BedeH as I have this afternoon been speaking to BT Yahoo tech support about the same or a similar problem who told me that rejecting passwords was still an open known fault that was being worked on.
My problem is running outlook 2010 under Windows 7 with 3 Btinternet email accounts. About twice a day apparently randomly Outlook will pop up on just 1 of the 3 accounts saying the server has rejected my password and to reenter it. No matter what I enter it will not accept it. The BT Help program will eventually tell me the password is incorrect and give up. The work around I have been using for over 6 months is simply to login to my web based BTinternet account and immediately Outlook starts working again simply by clicking the pop box to retry. This is a frustrating pain and hence my follow up call to the Help desk.
I do have an iphone and an ipad both of which can access my mail but neither are set to "push".
I would appreciate knowing whether you (BT?) recognise this as an open problem or whether I was just being fobbed off.
Thanks John

I can't send email because SMTP rejects my password, what's up?

I am trying to send an email and I get this pop-up that says:
The SMTP server "smtp.mac.com" rejected the password for user
Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
When I enter my password and click OK the same box pops up again. This seems odd and hasn't happened before so why?

I think I will have to wait until Apple sorts the problem out or if it persists tomorrow, I will continue to seek support on these or other boards. I went into the keychain access.app and verified my information, no errors found. I reset my password for my email account server (smpt) and still have the problem. Must be a problem with Apple.

My email on my mac (which has iCloud) is giving me a message that the server has rejected my password. When I go onto the internet and sign into iCloud there, the password is accepted. What am I doing wrong??

Thanks...I just spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support sorting out the password issues for my various devices!!! My password was compliant with the new rules, but there were some (mysterious) setting issues that required me to delete mail from my MacBookPro and add it back, again. All in all, it was an hour of trouble-shooting which resulted in what, I hope, is a good fix.
Thanks for your help...wishing you continued success in the support community.

Why does my email account reject my password?

I went ahead and moved my mobileme account to icloud and since I did that my email going to my @me.com and @mac.com addresses rejects my password. I have changed everything I can think to change and read every help topic I can find on the subject and performed every fix they have suggested. I have to have access to this account as it is my primary email address for my non-profit organization! Someone tell me where I am going wrong!!! I really don't have the money to upgrade to Lion right now, but if that is what I have to do I guess I will eat that $60! Someone, anyone, tell me there is an easier explanation!

There might actually be an iCloud issue also. I have been having intermittent password rejects with known-good passwords on my iOS 5.1 devices in the last day or two. (And yes, I have been having them on my pre-Lion Macs accessing iCloud, but they work most of the time.)
How do you know that the password(s) are OK?
Do your password(s) match these criteria?
Minimum of 8 characters, including at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter and 1 number, no special characters.
Verify that you are using the correct server credentials:
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Additional Information
SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud.

HT5361 All of a sudden my AOL email account is rejecting my password

Hi,
All of a sudden my AOL email account is rejecting my password, its been working ok for over a year. I have deleted the account and re activated it again with success until restarting and the same error message appears again and again. This is happening on two AOL accounts. IOS version 10.9.5 Mountain Lion
Many thanks

Try going to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access and deleting the password there. While there, run Keychain First Aid.

MobileMe to iCloud email password rejected??

Iam getting really frustrated, not sure if anyone can help here with any advice. I recently upgraded my MobileMe account to icloud I keep receiving the following error message on my Mac. It states: "The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user". I entered the correct password numerous times and it keeps giving the same error message. It doesnt happen all the time, and as a result my mailbox keeps going offline. My yahoo email works fine. I tried to contact apple support the other day and they didn't know what the problem was. Any advice? I tried to look up in help the correct settings but not sure what the right settings are, such as port? etc... These are what my settings look like:
Outgoing mail is on server (SMTP): icloud (the other option is smtp.me.com) but it defaults to the icloud one
under advanced tab it is set to port 993 (but in help it mentions other ports)

Same bloody thing here. I've gotten several different errors. iCal invites won't sync from mail to my calendar. My password hasn't changed, I've logged onto iCloud, no problem. Why did't Apple just create a .cloud email addy? On top of this, since Lion, I've seen more spinning coloured wheels and just frozen apps than I care to see. I'm thinking all of this was shoved out the door before it was ready. I regret the upgrade and am seriously thinking of a reinstall to SL. Starting to think I am dealing with Windows. Since the update to the ios, I've lost a chunk of my email. I'm sick of these issues. Please give me software that will allow my Mac Pro and super HS connection work for me. Gawd.

Keep getting asked for my password for email. Says my POP server rejected my password. How do I fix this?

I keep getting asked for my password for email. Says my POP server "pop.charter.net" rejected the password. In the past I just went into my email and it came up automatically.

In Keychain, in the Keychain window, select "login". In the category window, select passwords.
In the name field, look for name of your outgoing server for that account (like smtp.mail.yahoo.com, outbound.att.net, or whatever outgoing server you have).
Just highlight it and delete it. Delete any and all for that account.
You also may want to check and make sure all your outgoing server settings are correct in Mail preferences. If any info is incorrect, it will not work. Sometimes providers change servers and you don't know about it. You may want to check that if the Keychain fix doesn't work.

Thunderbird rejects the password I've been using. I asked for a new one. Thunderbird said it would email it to me. I did it twice. I got no email.

Using Windows7

Thunderbird has nothing to do with administering your email password. There is no place to request that Thunderbird send you a new one. I would love to see the link where you did this. I have asked lots of people for the link where Thunderbird promises to send you a new password but no one ever provides it.
You need to work with your email provider to reset your password. Go to their web mail or email help page and look for a link to reset your password.
There are other things that can return the password error even if you use the correct username and password. Incorrect server settings or an overactive antivirus software could be the real problem. When you are at your providers web mail page use your username and password to log into your account. If they work there then you have a different issue.

My Mail application is rejecting my password even though I'm putting it in correctly. Mail is working fine on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac so it must be something to do with the Mail settings on my desktop. My software is up to date. Can you help?

I have an iMac, operating system 10.7.4 with up to date software. My mail application is rejecting my password even though I know I am putting it in correctly. I have an ipad and iphone and the mail application is working fine on them. On my desktop however I cannot receive or send mail. I think it must be something to do with the settings but cannot work out what. I have contacted BT who provides my email and internet. As I have another email address with them that is working correctly they believe it is a problem with mail rather than with them. Please can you help?

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
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. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Message stating my POP server has rejected my password

Of late - something like the last three weeks - I have been getting a Mail error intermittently. There is no pattern that I can establish.
The error occurs when Mail attempts to check for new emails. I keep two accounts, and the error does not necessarily happen for both at the same time, but can.
The error says:
<The POP server "POP.XXXX.ca" rejected the password for user "[email protected]" Please re-enter your password, or cancel.>
Is there anyone else who has seen this? Is this the OS or the ISP?

You dont say your using Comcast but if you are here is a link to the settings for OSX 10.5.5
I have used this on a number of Mac's and found that the problems were no more.
I you are using Comcast you will have to sign in to get to this link
sending Email must be done on port 995 for Comcast and SSL
