When I try to send a photo from iPhoto by email, and error message reads "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination". How do I fix this?
Try to reenter you rmail account details in the iPhoto Preferences > Accounts tab.
Delete the mail account entry by pressing the "-" button below the left column in the panel, then add it again by pressing "+".
Also, it is recommended, to set "Mail" as mail client in the iPhoto preferences, and not iPhoto. This has been working much more reliably lately. -
I get an error message when trying to email photos. It says "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination." Yet I have reset my password and was able to log in to this Support Community. Can anybody help me?
See my answer to your previous duplicate question. What happened when you tried my answers?

"The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." This message pops up when trying to send photos from iPhoto via Mail. I have tried reseting passowrds in both gmail and me.com
Thanks for helping Christeneau. You helped me too...eventually. I say eventually because I was puzzled by your 'What does it say behind "email photo's using"'?
I realised the problem was your incorrect use of the apostrophe 's', as in 'photo's using'.
I just could not make any sense of this sentence at all, until I realised that you meant to write, "What does it say behind "email photos using". What you employed was the possesive use of the apostrophe - a mistake that seems to have become endemic in english speaking nations during the last 10 years or so, brought on by the lack of understanding basic english grammar. This has come about because of sloppy teaching methods the world over - it's not really your fault.
It's quite simple: The apostrophe 's' should be used as the following examples show:
James's apple, the car's horn, the world's atmosphere. The one exception is 'its shape,' where there is no apostrophe showing posession because that construction has been used as an abbreviation to 'it is', as in 'it's'.
Plurals (more then one) NEVER have an apostrophe! E.g. CDs, eggs, biscuits, vehicles, UNLESS to show possesion - a CD's label, the biscuit's taste, a vehicle's colour.
Thanks again for you help. -
Having trouble with sharing photos via email on my desktop Imac. Error Message when I try to send: "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination. Normal email inbox/outbox works fine, error message only comes up when using "Sharing photos".
Not sure how to fix this, please help.Are you trying to email directly from iPhoto? If so, check iPhoto>Preferences>Accounts tab and make sure your details are entered correctly there.

When attempting to send email photos on my iPhoto 11, I keep getting the message " THE EMAIL SERVER DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOUR USERNAME/PASSWORD COMBINATION". However, I already have this info in my preferences/account section. What is the problem and
how can it be fixed???The usual fix: Delete the account from your Preferences and Re-Enter it.

I am trying to email a photo from iphoto using my gmail account. I am receiving this error that my email server doesn't recognize my username/password. I do have a different password for Gmail, should that matter? How can I correct this?
in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it

IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

I have filled out an iPhoto "postcard" format with a message and photo, etc., and when I hit send, I get the message "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." I hit OK but it does not clear to refill the log-in -- and I believe the info was correct to start. I'd like to save (and not have to re-crete) the card, but see no way of doing so, thus am fearful of closing it (for good).
in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it

IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

I'm trying to email a photo from one of my iPhoto albums, however I'm getting an error message that says "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." Any ideas? I can't find any help in Apple on-line support.
Never mind. I was able to find the solution via an earlier post from West. Thank you!

I get the following msg whenever trying to email iphotos to friends/family. Can anyone help? TX
..."The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination."iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.
Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them. -
why it says The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination. when I sending pictures from iPhoto to my e-mail.
Have you tried to delete the account from your Preferences and to Re-Enter it? That usually will help.
If not, try to use "Mail.app" as mail client in iPhoto and not iPhoto. Change the the stting in the Preferences > General tab to "Email photos using Mail". This is usually more robust thanthe setting "iPHoto". -
When trying to send a group of photos the e-mail requested my password. Apparently I gave it the wrong one. When I tried to resend, it doesn't ask for a password, just gives me this message, "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." How do I fix the problem? I tried I-Photo help, but it says "NOT available." I'm getting VERY frustrated since my I-Book G-4 NEVER did such "STUPID" things like ask for a password to send photos!!!
I tried sending single photo, but get the same message.
Also, my e-mail is NOT @bellsouth.net. It is @icloud.com I tried to change it but couldn't. How do I change it on this site. I tried to edit my info, but couldn't change the e-mail!!

When I try to email photos from iPhoto I get this message: The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination. It won't let me change it, what do I do?
Can you send email ok via the Apple Mail application?
The username and password are set in the Accounts section of the Mail application. Start Mail, select preferences and select Accounts. Then make absolutely sure that the username, password and outgoing mail server are entered correctly. -
