    Have you tried - in Mail go to the menu Mail > Preferences.
    When the Preferences Pane opens, click on the Accounts Tab.
    Click on your iCloud Account to select it.
    Click on the Advanced tab.
    Set Authentication to Apple Token.
    Close the Preference Pane.

  • ICloud mail account could not be enabled

    Since I have updated to Mavericks I have been having difficulty with "Mail".  I had 4 accounts; two of which were gmail accounts.
    After reading about the gmail issues, I was hoping that the recent "Mail Update for Mavericks" would solve my issue. Unfortuantely my issues remain.
    The problem first began with the program taking minutes (up to 10 min) to load; forcing me to force quit the program many times.
    I slowly deleted the various accounts from my icloud account. Interestingly in the System Preferences under "internet accounts" it would initially not display all of the accounts that I had listed in the mail program. It would also take 10 min to load the accounts into the Accounts Pane on the "internet Account" dialog.
    Even after deleting each of the accounts; including my icloud account and then only re-enabling my icloud account things didn't get better.
    Now "mail" doesn't load at all. And I can't enable "mail" in the Icloud system preferences.
    It times out after 3-5 minutes saying "Your iCloud mail account could not be enabled. Try enabling it again". Of course; trying again gets the same message.
    So I'm stuck not using "Mail" at all; and I don't know what the issue is.
    I've moved on to "AirMail" and it is working fine. But would like to use "Mail".
    Any one else getting this???

    I had this problem & found these instructions, it worked everything as it was before the upgrade now, except I've lost the old email accounts I deleted.
    The problem was caused by dodgy entries in the accounts.plist file in my User Library folder. It appears that either when I upgraded to Mavericks this file gained many thousands of duplicate entries, or maybe these entries were in there before but previously the OSX/Mail combination was more tolerant. When I removed these the problem with Mail disappeared. Here’s what I did….
    1> Make the user Library folder visible - in Mavericks this is a lot easier than Lion/Mountain Lion. Simply open up your user directory in Finder, select menu View>Show View Options, and select “Show Library Folder”
    2> Navigate through username>Library>Mail>V2>MailData and select the Accounts.plist file. If this file is multiple megabytes (mine was 40+mb) then this is likely the cause of your problem (once sorted mine ended up at 19k in size!)
    3> To be safe, make a copy of this file (I placed the copy on my desktop).
    4> Using your chosen text editor (I used Text Wrangler but I’m sure TextEdit would work just fine) open the Accounts.plist in the MailData folder (not your backup copy) and take a look. If it’s the same as me you will find hundreds and hundreds of entries for the same mailbox repeated in there. Mine was an old MSN mailbox that I never use any more (I’ve seen in other forums that other Hotmail type accounts also seem to be the culprits in this context). There will likely be two lots of repeated data, one in the XML “DeliveryAccounts” <array> section, and one lot in the “MailAccounts” <array> section.
    5> Delete (keeping in mind the need to select the XML sections correctly from <dict> to </dict> completely) all those extra entries that you found, keeping the mail accounts you do need, in the XML and save the file.
    6> Mail should open up nice and fast again and not eat your system
    7> If this did not work, and causes problems because of over eager deleting in <5> you can replace your broken Accounts.plist file with your backup and try again.

  • Since I upgraded to ISo6 my iPhone 4s will not retain Wifi passwords

    Hello
    I'm hope that someone can help as this problem is driving me NUTS. 
    Since I upgraded both my Iphone 4s and Ipad 3 to ISO6.  I've had nothing but problems with Wi-Fi access, inititally neither machine would remember the home networks (or any others) then suddenly the IPad3 fixed itself but still my Iphone 4s will not retain the password.
    It was always able without any problems to retain the passwords for any Wi-Fi networks before the upgrade - but no more. 
    I've tried pretty much everything that I read about from a reboot, resetting the wifi setting, resetting all settings, a factory reset and a restore - nothing helps!  The iphone connects to the network no problem - but if you go out or if the phone locks and more than 30 minutes goes by - it'll have forgotten the networks and will require that you reenter the password.  Which is getting more than annoying. 
    Given what I've tried I'm thinking that the software somehow got screwed up a little when it installed and I need to completely reinstall the ISO.  I also noticed the personnel hotspot is missing!
    Any help really appreciated as it's driving me crasy.
    Richard. 

    I read someone said you can tap on "other" when selecting which wifi you connect to and then entering the exact wifi name of the network you wish to join and the password and then joining that network allowed the password to be saved.  Also with iOS 6 the minimum length of the password needs to be 8 characters.  Maybe you password on your router is less than 8 characters long

  • IPhone will not retain wrt54g password

    Hi all. I have  a iphone that will not retain the password for a WRT54g. Each time I leave the house, I have to renter the wifi password on my phone. It remembers other networks, just not the house. I'm clueless on modems, so if you suggest that I do this or that,...... Dumb it down A LOT! Thanks!

    You just need to ensure router’s firmware is updated. Reset the router and reconfigure. You can download firmware from this link http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT54G.

  • Mail application will not update new messages

    Mail application will not update new messages

    If you have Webmail access you might check that, sometimes a malformed email can clog the system.
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

  • HT1277 my mail account will not recognize my gmail password

    I had to change my gmail password when my account was hacked--now my mail account does not recognize the new gmail password so I can't access my gmail account through 'mail'

  • HT6114 my hot mail account will not let me access it keeps asking for password but won't authorise it?

    my hotmail account will not open. keeps asking for password but will not accept the password when i enter it. its the correct passwrd?

    Hello Duncan,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Mail on your Mac.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
    If you entered the correct password in the password dialog in Mail, but continue to be asked for your password, try these solutions.
    Open Keychain Access, then locate and delete the mail account password item.
    Open Disk Utility, select the volume (for your hard disk or disks) in the list, click First Aid, then Verify Disk. After you’ve verified (and repaired, if necessary) the disk, try sending yourself a message.

  • My iCloud mail account is not working.

    I checked the settings and confirmed the password.  Then I got a message that the Incoming Mail Server can't be blank.   However, it is greyed out and I can't change it.  Any ideas? 
    I read somewhere on the net that someone deleted their iCloud mail account and recreated it and that worked for them.  I can't delete mine though.

    Duh! Stupid me.  I tried my new Apple password and now its working.

  • HT201320 unable to open Email account or even set one up. Used many passwords that I have and nothing is accepted. I have an account through g mail, but will not open with passwords.

    Cannot set up Email account I once had and lost. Will not accept password(s) have account through gmail, but cannot use.

    It may be worth going directly to the gmail site: www.gmail.com can you login using what you believe to be your credentials? If not then it's likely to be an issue with the info you are using.  Also if you haven't used the account for a while it may have gone in to a suspended state, and logging back in will reactivate it. If you do manage to login ok, then try setting up the account on iPad again.

  • TS3899 Iphone will not retain new pass word for Yahoo that is on my computer. Have reset 3 times and goes back to old pass word

    I changed my password on my computer a few weeks back. Since then my iphone 5s will not let me know when I have a new email. In order to get my emails I have to push the mail icon, wait for it to connect and check to see if there are any new emails. Upon doing this, my emails will come through. I went to the Apple store today and they tried putting in my new password on my iphone. When I left the store they had accomplished what I went in for. After getting home, I noticed I had not been receiving any email notices. Pressed email icon and there were 2 emails waiting to be opened. Checked password on iphone and it had reverted back to old password. I have deleted my Yahoo account 3 times, changed password and it still goes back to the old one. All this is quit frustrating since I don,t live in Chandler and have to travel 40 miles, one way, to see a Genius about the same problem.

    But it is I jsut can sync, back up files, or anything becuase its stuck at this screene and wont do execute when i click either of those button

  • Mail account will not sync

    Changed a few mail settings (incoming server/ smtp server) and tried to sync the new account to the iPhone. The account would show up under mail accounts in settings, but the mail app would simply bring me to the welcome screen (yahoo mail, etc) and wouldn't use the account, even though it was set up as the main one. I went in and deleted the account out of the iphone prefs, and now it will not sync over. Seems this is a permanent deletion? It is checked and should sync but no accounts are pushed over. I manually put it in and it works fine, but I would rather sync with the account. Is there a plist to trash or something of the like? I could do a restore but don't know if that would help any as this seems a preferences issue...

    Yeah, did that but shouldn't have to.
    Actually discovered if that I renamed the account description in Mail.app that it would then sync over. Odd.

  • One of mail accounts do not keep my password, what can I do?

    I have several mail accounts in my device, iPod 5th gen, but specially one of them dos not keep the password so I have to write over and over every time I review this account.
    I tried erasing this account and then sign in it again and remains the same.

    What account is it? If Yahoo then I suspect it is Yahoo's problem I frequently have to reenter my Yahoo email password.

  • Yahoo Mail Inbox Will not Download New eMail

    I need a little help. Two days ago, my iPad stopped pulling down email from my yahoo account. The message at the bottom of the inbox indicates the iPad is starting do download 1 of 120 emails. It looks like it is working for a moment. The progress bar blinks, but then it simple returns to the inbox without loading any of the email.
    I have used the default set up for yahoo in the mail settings of the iPad. I have deleted the account and re-added it. When Set up the account using the 'other' email account and yahoo's pop server it pulls down the mail, but I lose my folders.
    I restored my iPad and that worked for about 2 hours and now I am back where I started. Oddly sending mail works just Any suggestions? It just seems odd that it would have worked for the past two weeks and just stopped two days ago.
    I am using the same settings on my iPhone and it works great.

    Hi, Deb4exit.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that your Yahoo app is not fully installed and will not open.  Here are some troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through for this.
