When trying to email pictures from IPhoto for the first time, I chose to use my Yahoo server, but I mistakenly entered the wrong password. Since then, everytime I try to email pictures I get a message saying "The server didn't recognize your username/password combination". How can I correct this so I can email pictures using my IPhoto?

iPhoto Menu -> Prefences -> Accounts. Delete and recreate your email account.

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".

"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.

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.

You need to set it up once in iPhoto-> Prefs -> Accounts b/c not everyone who uses iPhoto has or uses Mail.

I'm trying to email from iPhoto

How do I fix my e-mail password for I-photo? Get this message, "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination."

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!!

iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->

Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

Hi ...
If you are trying to "Share" photos via email, quit iPhoto then launch the Mail app.
From the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
Select your Mail client from the pop up menu next to: Default email reader
Now select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Select the account on the left that you want to use with iPhoto.
Type in your User name and password
Relaunch iPhoto. Click Share from the menu bar > Email

Receive the message, "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination"

I'm using:
Apple OS X Version 10.9.4
iPhoto Version 9.5.1 (902.17)
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core 17
Memory: 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
500 GB HD
I'm have a problem using the Share command when using my iPhoto software. After selecting a photo and entering the email addresses I press Send and receive the message. "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination". I've gone into my iPhone Account Settings and deleted the original account and then re-entered the information into a new account with negative results. I have been using the Share feature for more than a year and have had no problems up until two days ago.
I use MS Outlook and have no problem sending/receiving/forwarding regular emails. Thank you for any help you can afford me.

I've gone into my iPhone Account Settings and deleted the original account and then re-entered the information into a new account with negative results.
You mean, you entered the Account setting again in iPhoto's Preferences?
Then try, if deleting your account password in your Keychain will help.
Quit your mail program. Launch Keychain Access from the "Applications > Utilities" folder and select "Password" in the "Categories" brick. Delete the password for your email account. (right click the email address to bring up the contextual menu and select "delete").
