Mail app not accepting password

I have 7 e-mail accounts. 6 are Gmail and 1 is my university e-mail. Three of them are old (Gmail), three of them are new (Gmail). For some reason, my mail application refuses the password on the old ones and not the new ones. I recently had to change all my passwords because my PayPal account was compromised but Mail continues to reject the password on the old three. This has happened once before too.
Odd thing is Mail usually accepts those passwords and I can still log in through gmail.com so the password is correct. It's very frustrating,

Hey, I had the same exact problem.
This seemed to fix it: https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
Just enter in your account info and it clears up the problem.

Yahoo mail will not accept password on new iphone 5

Yahoo mail will not accept my password and load e-mails. What to do?

I e-mailed Yahoo for help with Yahoo mail and was given the following instructions: Remove Yahoo account from your iPhone, turn the phone off and back on, and then re-add to trigger a re-sync on your Yahoo acccount. This worked with no problem!! I was also given a link for a Yahoo Help article which I have included below. For those of you who are having issues, I hope this solves them!

Mail.app not accepting incoming mail in .Mac Account

This problem has been getting worse over the last two months. Mail.app has been selectively accepting incoming traffic to my .Mac address, even those that I whitelisted through Rules and junkmatcher.
Incoming Mail from trusted sources, such as family and friends are not appearing. Until recently, subscriptions such as Versiontracker, Sundance, Apple Event, etc would populate targeted mailboxes, but now even they have not being accepted either.
This is very curious - because, if I access my .Mac accoun via WebDAV or another email client, the missing mail appears. After I manually accept an incoming message via a browser or another client and subsequently use Mail.app to view messages, the missing missives appear. I have not changed anything in either "Rules" or Junkmatcher. What has changed is system upgrades over time from 10.4.2 to 10.4.6. Now mail.app appears broken.
Any insights or fixes out there?
I will bring this up with the "Geniuses" at the SF Apple store. But for now, I'll be using another client until Apple fixes this.

Every time I've seen something like this being reported, the problem ended up being a rule that wasn't working as expected, e.g. because a rule had specified any instead of all, or because a rule was routing messages to Inbox, or something like that...

Intel Imac (snow leopard) Mail/Icloud not accepting Password

I am having a very strange problem since yesterday when mail on my Imac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 started complaining about wrong password.
I reset the account on Mail, deleted the account, set the account back up, reset the password various times but to no avail.
I have mail running also on my macbook running Lion and on my iphone 4 running Ios 5.0.1 and they all work with no problem and they have accepted the new password.
I have tried installing Thhunderbird and tried to configure it on the Imac for use with icloud account but same issue was presented.
I tried setting up the icloud email on my windows 7 pc and had the same issue.
I have also installed the Icloud app for snow leopard and that as well is giving the same error message.
I have tried all the suggestions found in this support forum but none of them have produced positive results.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I could do to have mail working again??
Cheers
Mirco

I reset the account on Mail, deleted the account, set the account back up, reset the password various times but to no avail.
Launch Keychain Accesss located in /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Locate your mail keychain. You can use the search field top right corner of the window.
Then right or control click the keychain then click Delete.
Now open Mail. From the menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Type in the correct password. You should be prompted to save that information to a new keychain.

Yosemite Mail do not accept my iCloud password

Yosemite Mail do not accept my iCloud password. Why it does not work?
Web version is working fine.

Hi there.
Since my situation is very similar, rather than start a new thread, I wonder if I could jump on this one for some clarification & to see if I'm okay to proceed with the Tiger instructions you posted.
I'm running 10.4.11 on a 17" Titanium PowerBook G4. I have a .mac e-mail address & I'm using Apple Mail.
I migrated to iCloud several weeks ago & everything's been fine but I haven't been able to get any e-mail through all weekend.
I logged in to iCloud a short while ago & everything seems fine.
So could I ask whether the procedure you linked to works for .mac addresses as well as .me addresses?
Also, can I assume that the messages that are still sitting in my inbox will still be there after I remove the existing account & create the new one, (seeing as they're synchronised with the inbox online), whilst the complex hierarchy of folders I've created locally in the mail client will remain untouched?
Thanks!

When i try to open a document, adobe will not accept password

cannot open file because adobe will not accept password adobe x

Odd. I downloaded [DH]RQ-7_UAV_US_Army.pdf which indicates the password you posted, and it opened WITHOUT any prompt for password at all. (Adobe Reader XI Mac OS X 10.8.5)
I downloaded P51D_Mustang_Ferocious_Frankie.pdf and it opens in Preview, Acrobat X, but not Reader XI as you described.
Here's what I did to get it to open.
Open the PDF in Acrobat.
Click File>Properties.
Under the Security tab, click "Change Settings..."
Where it says "Compatibility:" change it from "Acrobat 5 and later" to "Acrobat X and later".
Enter the password (paper-replika.com) below.
Click OK.
Save the PDF.
Open it with Reader XI.
It will accept the password and open the PDF.
This ISN'T a Reader issue, but an issue with the save settings when the PDF was created.
Unfortunately, for those who DON'T have Acrobat to make the necessary changes, it will remain a problem.
Perhaps you could contct the website and inform them that they need to change their compatibiliy settings in their PDFs.
But... It's NOT a Reader issue.

Secured wi fi network gives timeout and will not accept password. Works on i pad and iphone

My Macbook Pro network was secured and worked on ipad and iphone. Now it gives me a "connection timed out" message on laptop and will not accept password. It works on ipad and iphone. Anyone with an explanation. I cannot get it to let me delete from the macbook pro. Had to set a new unsecured network to just get on internet. Running 10.7.4 and is up to date.

I deleted all and then set up an unsecured network. When I go to system preferences>Network and where the Network Name is, I click join other networks, then click show networks the secured net work is still there and when I click on it, it gives me the timeout message. This is causing a problem in trying to get my wireless printer back on line as it keeps going to this secured network. Can you help with this problem. I would like to remove the secured network completely from my computer. I have gone to the Advanced and deleted all. The only one showing there is the unsecured network.

After upgrade to ios6 iPad does not accept password to wifi, I cannot connect to internet. Pls help me...

After upgrade to ios6 iPad does not accept password to wifi, I cannot connect to internet. Pls help me...

iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Mail app not working suddenly. Won't accept my password.

Yesterday, when I brought my laptop back from sleep, I tried to check my e-mail with the Mail app like I always do. But there was the lightning bolt sign next to the inbox, and the pop-up asked me to input my password, which didn't work. It says mail.mac.com has rejected my password. The password is correct (I'm able to check my e-mail through my browser at me.com), but for some reason Mail keeps on rejecting it. I usually don't have to input my password at all in Mail. Any clue how to fix this? I haven't changed anything at all on my laptop. I use Yahoo DSL.
Thanks!

Greetings,
You need to complete your profile so we know exactly what you're running, and keep it -up-to-date at all times. There are different solutions for problems depending on which version of Mac OS X and the specific application that you're running. Using the wrong one could lead to disaster for you.
It's possible that your Keychain entry for the email account has been corrupted. To test for that and fix it: you need to:
Quit Mail.
Open Keychain Access and select the Passwords section.
Scroll through the list until your find the entry for the password for the email account and delete it; then quit Keychain Access.
Restart Mail, enter the password when prompted and check the box to save it in the Keychain. With any luck it will accept it and your problem will be solved.
