Mail account deleted but mail keeps asking me to put in password

I have deleted a prior pop mail account from my mail program.  Even though this account does not show up as one of my accounts in the preferences window the mail program keeps asking me to put in my password for the account.  The server for this account doesn't even exist anymore.  Any thoughts on how to get Mail to quit doing this?  I'm using an iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and OS 10.7.5.

The server is probably still in your Outgoing Server list. See this thread:

  • Hi I want to see my account settings but it keeps asking me for my password and I can not see my account settings what can I do

    Please help me with this I am reaaly anooyed because I can't sicronize my music in the cloud

    If you mean you mean you need to change the iCloud ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Why does my iPod keep asking me to put my password in over and over again when I try to view my Apple ID without ever letting me in

    Please help me figure out why I cannot view my Apple ID on my iPod touch. Everytime I try to buy a album or anything it asks me to up date my billing info and when I go to do so it asks for my password over and over again and I keep puttiń it in and it never lets me in.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and sign back in
    - Reset your Apple ID password
    How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
    If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.

  • I am able to log in to Yahoo mail but it keeps asking me for my password every 2 or 3 mins

    I have Mac. Since I have updated to firefox 13.0.1 I have trouble with my yahoo mail. I am able to log in but it keeps asking me to type my password every 2 mins. the exact line is this below.
    " Sorry, your session has expired. To protect your account, you need to confirm your password periodically." I have contacted to Yahoo help but they said the firefox update problem. Would you know how to fix this problem? Thank you

    There is a very long thread here in the forum on this problem.
    One possible cause, at least on Windows, is your proxy settings. If you check this deeply buried dialog, you may be able to correct it:
    Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network
    Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change. See whether that helps.

    Hello,

  • Cant receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when I respond same message- password

    Suddenly can't receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when i
    put it in,same message flashes up, reset does not work, also waiting for apple time lapse, still does not want to give me my yahoo mail on this format, tried talking to apple online contact, cut off, I'm receiving through safari, nothing through my email app

    Give it time. Yahoo has been doing things to their servers that often muck up the Mail app. Usually it takes 24-48 hours to run its course then it'll work again.
    if it doesn't clear up by the end of the weekend, you can remove and readd your account, but chances are it'll just start to work.

  • Why is it that I want to allow updates but it keep asking for my old account password which I totally stop using. How do I get it to ask for the current 1

    MMy iPad need me to approve a few updates. But it keep asking me for my old account information that I just don't remember, how I get it to ask for password for the current account

    You need to delete and redownload all of the applications associated with the old Apple ID.

  • I have my Hotmail open , but it freezes and won't let me open e-mail or delete junk mail. It won't do anything

    My hotmail account is open, but I can't read e-mail or delete junk mail. My hotmail works fine when I use Internet Explorer. I have used Firefox for a year and never had this problem. What is the solution

    Your upgrade must have failed.  Unless you very very recently upgraded Lion, as in the last hour or two.  Then you need to go to System Preferences and Energy Saver and stop it from automatically sleeping.  Let it sit overnight.  It could be spotlight re-indexing your disk and slowing you way way down. 
    If that doesn't work then you can re-install Lion cleanly.  You need to finish backing up your data.  Then make a Lion USB flash boot disk or DVD.  Hold option key when you boot and select the USB or DVD drive.  Run Disk Utility and delete then recreate the partition, exit Disk Utility and install Lion.  Then restore your applications and data. 

  • HT3376 I have a Yahoo plus account. When I set up the mail account the Bulk Mail (Trash), Deleted Messages,Draft,Drafts,Junk, and Sent Folders all appear on my iPhone. Is there a way to prevent this?

    I have a Yahoo Account. When I set up the mail account the  Bulk Mail, Deleted Messages, Draft, Drafts, Junk, Sent, and Sent Messages appear on all of my iPhones, my PC, my Macbook and any other wifi product that receives mail. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these duplicate mailbox folders??
    Thanks

    I just called apple care to even know how to respond to this answer. I am very old and this was my first post ever. I appreciate you taking the time to give me an answer. I also ask them how to delete this account because every time I log in it wants me to change my password and I have run out of passwords. I don't even know what it means when it ask me the community I want to be in.
       The only thing I know about syncing is syncing my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I apologize that I am so technically stupid. Does mail have syncing???
    Thank you even if I never figure out how to get back to this site again.

  • I'm trying to restore a new ipod but it keeps asking me for the passwords of itunes accounts that are not mine.

    It is trying to restore my new ipod from the backup cloud, but it keeps asking me for the passwords of three different itunes accounts, two i know are my friends accounts and I don;t even know whoose the third is.  I must have some of their music on my library or something, but it won't backup without these passwords it seems.  Is there a way to get around this?  I have the music in my Itunes library and can listen to it all I want and burn it on cds but I cant get it to go on my ipod without their passwords.  Can i switch it and just have it sync to my computer and not this icloud?  My other ipod didnt ask me for these passwords when I tried to sync it.

    If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours.  You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method.  But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

  • HT201359 I'm trying to set up my purchase account, but it keeps asking me about an iTunes code I have to feel  in but I don't know what is that code and where do I get it?

    I'm trying to set up my purchase account, but it keeps asking me about an iTunes code I have to feel  in but I don't know what is that code and where do I get it?

    THe iTunes gift code is an optional field, you don't have to fill it in - gift cards are an alternative method of paying for iTunes content, but as they are not available inall countries (and they are country-specific, they can only be used in the country in which they were issued), you may not be able to fill it in anyway. If they are available in your country then you might be able to buy cards from Apple, supermarkets, electrical stores etc
    If you have a credit card then you can use that as your payment method instead. Otherwise there are instrutions on this page for how to create a new account without giving a credit card number (it won't with existing, or partially created, accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

  • Im trying to buy a movie on itunes but it keeps asking for a credit car instead of using the money on my account

    im trying to buy a movie on itunes but it keeps asking for a credit car instead of using the money on my account

    OH MAN! I had the same problem for so long! I was trying to get as much information and try as many different ways as possible. None worked for me and I am guessing none worked for you either. I will try and help you out! I hope this works for you!!!
    Click on your Apple ID > Type in your password > Scroll down to Purchase History > Click on it > If your account has red numbers higlighting a balance. You need to pay that first. Then you are hopefully free of that stupid security code crap! I hope this helped you!

  • HT1689 My account has a credit but iTunes keeps asking me to update account info for billing a credit card

    My account has a credit balance but iTunes keeps asking for a update for credit card

    If you don't have a balance the option for none should show up. If it does not or it gives you the message that there was billing issue with a previous purchase you will have to satisify the balance with either a credit or debit card attached to a bank account. Certain prepaid cards will not work if not attached to bank account with routing number.
