  • How do I remove Mail outgoing password?

    I set up Mail with PW required for outgoing.  Although it is in Keychain I'd prefer to remove that selection and have the messages just go.  Looking under Accounts | Advanced the "no password" authentication option is gone.  I could delete the account and recreate it.  But I'd rather get the option back.

    It seems most SMTP is going to want a password, no?
    You can delete out of your keychain if that is your problem. Through keychain.app in your utilities folder.
    Mail>preferences>Accounts>account info> outgoing SMTP>  highlite and edit list,  If it is a mail problem.

  • Anyone else having sudden Mail Outgoing Exchange Server problems?

    I have a Microsoft Exchange account for work that I have been accessing on Mail for about 2 yrs w/o any problems until last weekend. Then, suddenly, I can't send emails from that account if I originate the email, but I can send it w/o difficulty if I'm replying to an email from that account!
    Also, when I do open a new email on that acct, it opens as an iCloud mail, and I have to select my Exchange server in the dropdown. When I do this, it doesn't add in my Signature for that acct, although it does when I'm replying to an email.
    I've made no changes to my account or server settings, nor has our Administrator. My Lion/Mail versions are UTD. When I check the Outgoing server info, I notice it keeps deleting it, and marking the server as Offline.
    I can log in as a webmail (owa) acct, and can also log in on my PC--same PW, etc.
    VERY strange--have been searching Discussions/Help/Knowledge Base since then and trying everything I can think of (with 22+ yrs Mac experience)--to no avail.
    Any thoughts from the Mail Gurus out there?

    Same thing. I'm in Mexico City right now and Mail stopped working two days into the trip. I reset all my email accounts in Mail and it still wouldn't work. I had to switch to Entourage to recieve and send emails (worked perfectly).  I prefer Mail but I've had this problem before with emails getting hung up. What's going on here?

  • Mac Mail with yahoo plus account difficultly  with account reconditions and outgoing serving sending problems

    I'm not exactly a techy.  I have been having real trouble using YAHOO and now YAHOO PLUS with service useing the MAC MAIL application.  This problem started a few weeks back in LION OS and I had apple support and the guys at the genuess bar give it shot and they always improved things but the problem persisted. I had apple care as recently as last night.  After I got of the phone with the gentlemen I started having problems with the outgoing servier again. We even looked into the keychain for problems.  This morning I downloaded OS 10.8 and MAIL is running better but yahoo is still buggy.  Often either the password is not reconized or the outgoing mail can not be sent from the yahoo server.  If I directly to yahoo.com and use their site I don't have this problem so it must be either a compadablity problem. 

    It can't be a software conflict, because Mail is only connecting to a mail server for Yahoo!, so there's no software conflict to be had.
    Your profile says you're running 10.4.1, and the latest release of Tiger is 10.4.11; is there some reason you haven't updated to that version yet? By doing so, it will also update Mail to correct any bugs or security flaws that could be causing this problem.
    Even if that's not the problem, you should try opening Mail while holding down the Shift key. Then Control-click in an empty area of your mailbox list pane and select Get Info from the contextual menu. A window will open and you should use the popup menu to select that Yahoo! Mail account and see if it will connect and tell you how many messages are there, and you should be able to download them from that window.
    If that doesn't work, post back with your Yahoo! account settings for the incoming and outgoing mail servers.

  • Loaded Yosemite onto mid 2011 MacBook Air. IMAP account goes offline - message - Mail cannot send your password securely to the server.  Allow insecure authentication doesn't work. Repeated reloads. No joy. Help!

    Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.

    I have the same problem.
    Late 2012 imac 27", intel i7 core
    When I upgraded to Yosemite, suddenly my email account (netvigator POP) gives an error:
    Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.
    I have shut down & restarted mail, but no success. If I select Allow insecure authentication, it works, but that's not a long term fix.
    I also have a hotmail POP account enabled, and that is working fine.
    What's happening Apple??

  • Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send..

    Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send Code 501..
    Need help with T-bird.. My OS is Win XP-64..Have been using Mozilla for about 10 years with little or no problems.. This happened when I upgraded to 3.17.. Spent hours on T-Bird diagnostics web site.. Called Comcast & talked to a net tech.. he ran some tests on his end & had me log into my Comcast e-mail account & all worked well,, so he concluded the problem was in T-Bird.. He had me change my port to 587 & disable connection security & authentication to none & I was able to send mail.. That was all he could do.. Comcast was working.. the problem is in T-Bird.. Can any one help with this problem.. I don't want to send mail with my password transmitted insecurely..
    Thanks

    It was not intended to be "snide". You said two separate things that at face value would be out of the ordinary.
    I considered if it might be a typo for 31.7. Since 31.5 is the current formal release, I would have to thank you for volunteering to test a pre-release beta version. If it was truly 3.1.7 then it would appear that you have chosen, or have become stuck with a somewhat ancient version. In either case it's harder to reach out to you with any meaningful comments or advice. However I do watch various other sites and newsgroups and I don't see a clamour of distressed users, so it seems fair to suppose that this feature isn't actually broken in 31.7.
    And you said XP 64. XP is obsolete and no longer supported and if there is a 64-bit version, then again you have set yourself apart from the mainstream.
    I had a look at the comcast site and found some puzzling recommendations. Some users come here asking how to set up a secured connection in Thunderbird when it isn't offered by the server. Comcast are different, in that they mention the ports 143 and 587, and also 993 and 465. So far so good, in that security is actually on offer, but they also suggest that you enable SSL, regardless of which port is being used. It would be unusual and unconventional to offer TLS or SSL on ports 143 and 587. STARTTLS would be more credible on these ports.
    Have you tried IMAP on 993 and SMTP on 465? SMTP on 587 with SSL, or TLS, is not impossible, but is improbable.

  • Setting up mail. cannot send password securely

    when i go to set up my mail with my aol account i get a message saying mail cannot send my password securely to the server. this is on the first welcome screen where you enter your name email and password.....it does give me the option to do it manually but if i do that i cannot send any email but i receive email. i checked the incoming and outgoing settings and there right..... what does this mean is there anyway to get past this
    thanks

    I've never seen this particular warning, but it's important to note that passwords for e-mail are always sent insecurely unless you are able to connect via SSL. You can set Mail to connect via SSL in the advanced account settings, assuming that your mail provider (AOL) allows such a thing, which some do not. Even if the password is sent encrypted, the rest of the e-mail is not, so you should never send any confidential information via e-mail, any more than you'd put it on a postcard.

  • Just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 on my iMac 24 inch and now my Suddenlink POP email account won't accept messages. The message says unable to receive Mail and the warning says: Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove th

    Yesterday I uploaded Yosemite 10.10.2 thinking it was fixed by now. In Mail, my POP account gets this error message: Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.
    My provider says it's an Apple issue. The gmail accounts are logging in fine. Any help? Something simple?
    Thanks anyone.

    Thanks Csound1. That did work and Mail was able to connect to the internet. Green light status. Is it because of my provider that I may never have had secure connections? Is that an Apple thing or do PCs have the same issues? Appreciate your help. I'll research insecure connections as I am ignorant of the consequences.

  • Mail and Password problem

    I am trying to use Mail on a MacBookPro with Lion. My wife uses it successfully on her iMac using Snow Leopard. I use it (sometimes) on my iMac also using snow Leopard.  When I open Mail in Lion it asks for her password which is different from mine and if i use it,  it shows me all her mail, which I don't care about. I use other e-mail apps on my two computers so I can live without Mail if i have to. Is there a solution to this problem?

    Hi again. I saw that you tried another thread some days ago for the same problem. There you said: "Using Lion, on my MacBookPro Mail has an intermittent problem. Some days it asks for my wife's password (for her Mail account) and I cannot access my own new mail. Some days it works fine. Help."
    So, to get this right: On the MacBook Pro you have set up ONE account in Mail.app - YOUR account. And despite that it happens from time to time that Mail asks you for the password of a totally different E-Mail account - the one from your wife? And your wife's account is not set up in Mail.app.
    Everthing correct?
    Is your wife's account set up on different E-Mail applications on that MacBook Pro? Is she using this laptop as well, and if yes, is she using the same login account to the computer for this?

  • Have problems sending mail from a secure wireless connection. but ok from starbucks

    I have several clients here at my marina all using different email providers and they all seem to have problems sending out mail from my secure wireless. They can recieve mail no problem. Now here is where it get weird. I added my gmail account to one of the problem iphones and same thing was happening, when i go to send out an email from my account on their phone it gets stuck trying to send mail. I compaired server setting on my phone to his and everything was that same, even turned off his server from fairpoint(the email he uses) and kept my gmail one and still couldnt send mail from his phone but worked fine on mine. Apple set up this individuals iphone/ipad so it make me think they did something when he had the accounts added. Any thoughts?

  • TS3276 I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and Mail is having a problem. It won't remember my password for getting mail; but it does remember the password for sending mail, i.e., smtp. Does anyone know of a fix?

    I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and Mail is having a problem. It won't remember my password for getting mail; but it does remember the password for sending mail, i.e., smtp. Does anyone know of a fix?

    The solution surprised even me, and we've been using Macs since 1984 (still have an original 128K).
    I contacted Apple support, and because we had just upgraded yesterday, clicked on the "exception" button as opposed to paying the $19.99 one-time support fee. An Apple tech called and the problem was solved in two minutes.
    Somehow during the installation of OS 10.8.2 (over 10.6.x) the key chain data for my email ISP login password got corrupted. The solution was to delete both the POP mail and SMTP entries in my keychain.
    Back to Mail, it asked for the POP password, I entered it and bingo, mail got busy downloading. Interestingly, the password was also entered into the SMTP panel.
    So, that's it. Thanks for you response, Mr. Hoffman, and regards.

  • Possible security problem with my iPhone4, it seems like it has been hacked into and my hotmail, facebook and university accounts (which all have different passwords) and proceed to change my passwords on me. This has happened twice.

    I seem to be having security problems with my iPhone4, it seems like someone has hacked into my hotmail, facebook and university accounts (which all have different passwords) and proceed to change my passwords on me. This has happened twice and I have not left my phone unattended at any time that I can recall nor have I accessed these accounts from another source (i.e. computer/laptop) since changing my passwords after the first hacking occurred. Please help.

    Anyone else at your university complaining about the same thing?  It is more likely someone is stealing passwords by sniffing traffic over the university wifi or with a man-in-the-middle attack or by other means external to your phone.  Try a Google search on "steal password" (without quotes) or "steal SSL password" and you'll learn more than you wanted to know about how passwords get stolen.
