I am constantly prompted to verify my password for my ATT (Yahoo) email account in Mail.

Every frew minutes I am prompted to reenter/verify my ATT email account in Mail. This has been working flawlessly until a few weeks ago. I tried deleting and recreating the account with no success.
ATT uses Yahoo to host their email and I use the imap inbound and outbound server settings. I can still receive and send using that account but have to respond to the "enter your password pop-up every few minutes even though the password field is populated.

I am also searching for the "fix" as mine hase been doing the same for about 3-4 months now and this is OLD... there are a lot of people working on this from the "communities forum" but Apple is doing nothing about it so far... I have also searched the Yahoo communities for a "fix" but the trolls just tell everyong to move to Gmail... LOL... so I will hope you(and the rest of us= alot) get an answer in here... If I find the "fix" elsewhere, I will be back to post here...

You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it. It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

Can I have separate password for appstore and icloud email account?

Can I have other password for appstore and icloud email account? Me and my girlfriend have iphones and i would like to share my apps with her, but i dont want to give her possibility to acces my email account....

Well you can only have a different password if you are going to use a different Apple ID

Why do I keep having to reenter my password for one of my email accounts?

Likely because one of the servers (the incoming or outgoing) needs authentication before you can receive or send messages.

My mail is not accepting my password for one of my email accounts. How can I fix this?

Mail is not accepting my password for one of my email accounts. I know the passoword is correct.
It will accept my password for one of my email accounts but not the other.
I have reset the password in the account settings but it still will not work.

From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Click Check Again and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.

How do i put in password for outgoing server on email account

From yesterday afternoon I cannot get emails, or send them, on ipad, ipod or PC using Mozilla. On Ipad and ipod it tells me my password is wrong. I have tried re-entering password but cannot remember how to put password in for the outgoing server. Can anyone help please?

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Email Account > Outgoing Mail Server > Outgoing Mail Server you want to edit > User Name & Password
Be sure to tap on Save or Done When finished.

I recently tried to change a sved password for my Exchange Server email account, by deleting the site from my "Saved Passwords" tab in the Tools-Options-Security page. Now this web page won't save any entered data.

I wanted to change my password for logging in to my work email address. The site was not prompting me to change it automatically, so I manually removed it from the list in the TOOLS-SECURITY-OPTIONS page. Now this site won't retain any kind of entered data, such as addresses that I compose emails to very regularly.
How can I get this site back on the list that will save passwords? I've tried re-starts, log-out and back in, etc, and it won't prompt me to save a password.

It doesn't. Gmail is owned by Google.

Report it to Google:

I had to change my password for one of my Email addresses and now I can not get mail into Firefox.

I had to change my password for one of my Email accounts ([email protected]) and now I can not get the mail to go into Mozilla Firefox and I don't know how to change the password in Mozilla to get the mail into it.
I looked at how to change my password but the options you told me to use were not available. I clicked on tools then options but there was no sync tab or manage accounts either.

The login.salesforce.com website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

I changed my Apple ID and password, but when I attempt to update Apps I am prompted to enter my Password for my OLD Apple ID, and I am unable to override the Old Apple ID. How to proceed ?

Delete everything bought with the old Apple ID and buy it again.
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

How do I stop receiving a prompt to enter a password for a discontinued Account ID?

I changed my Apple ID a few weeks ago. I am now getting prompted to enter the password for my old Apple ID on my iPhone 4. I cancel the request and proceed but it is imapacting my user experience. I am not having any issues with my new Account ID.
Thank you!

That's because you have apps on your phone that were obtained with your old Apple ID. Apps are forever tied to the ID used to obtain them & cannot be transferred to another Apple ID. You have two choices: 1. Delete them & re-purchase with your new ID, or 2. Contact iTunes support, explain the situation, & request they add these apps to the download queue of your new ID:

TS3988 I am receiving email that I should verify my password for iCloud but I can't see the link that I should start. HELP please!!!!!!

You select the desired file (tick the square box on the left of the file name).
You click on the "share"/"send" icon (the envelope with the arrow that points up and to the right).
You are presented with the share/send dialog.
Here you select the "Send To" choice.
This is done by placing a tick in the box beside either "Public Link (create a public link for anyone to view)"
OR
"Personalizdd Link (send email invitations to individuals)"
NOTE: The second choice is only available if you have a subscription to Adobe Send service.
So, for a free "Files" account in Adobe's cloud you'd tick "Public Link".
At the bottom left you'll observe the "Create Link" button.
Click it.
You are presented with a new dialog that informs you that the Public Link has been generated and that link is provided in a field within the dialog.
You can copy the link to a text file for future copy-paste into a post to a forum or bulletin board or you can provide the link to otheres via an email.
Be well...

How come, when I add myYahoo! email account to MAIL, after verifying, I always get the "server unavailable. please try again later"

How come, when I add myYahoo! email account to MAIL, after verifying, I always get the "server unavailable. please try again later"

THANKS! this worked !!!
I hit "DELETE THIS ACCOUNT" on my iphone (this is the Yahoo I tried to set up by "picking" it from the list that the iphone5 gives you) and then confirmed to delete everything.
THEN: while in Mail (still in the Settings Section) I tapped on "ADD ACCOUNT..." but this time tapped on "OTHER" and manually put in my yahoo ID and password and I did not even have to go to the SMTP or IMAP incomming/outgoing stuff at all. But I checked it out under the "ADVANCE" tab and it was already correct for yahoo. (ALMOST SEEMED TOO EASY)
Went to my home screen and tapped on MAIL and my yahoo email loaded up just right!
Now, I have no idea if I have any other issues like if I delete mail on the iphone; does it delete properly on my ipad...etc..etc. but one problem at a time is getting fixed. THANKS!

My problem is trying to restore my iphone 4s. The icloud password is from a defunct email account through an ISP that I no longer use. I have upgraded to an iphone5s . I want to give the iphone4s to a special needs child that can make good use of it.

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I can no longer send emails from my iPad after changing the passwords for my BT Yahoo account on my iMac

I changed my passwords for my BT Yahho email on my iMac following my accouts being hacked. Email works fine on my iMac, and I receive emails OK on my iPad, but cannot send them from the iPad. Am not sure what to do. I found the BT help pretty useless. Any suggestions please?

Did you go deep enough into the settings? Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.
