Mail password not accepted

I entered the correct password in the password dialogue in Mail, but continue to be asked for the password

What is the exact text of the alert? Has it ever worked? What kind of account?

Mail Password not accepted - help!

Trying to set up mail and it keeps rejecting password.......have deleted and set up new .mac account and I'm sure its right.
Any ideas?

Thanks for providing this detail which wasn't clear in your original post.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
Is Password selected for SMTP authentication and if so, is your .Mac account user name (the portion of the email address in front of the @ sign only) entered in the User Name field and in addition, the password for your account (shown as dots for security) entered in the Password field?
If so, are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP (used for connecting to the internet) with the Mail.app and can you send messages with this account?
If settings are correct for the .Mac SMTP server, enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't resolve it and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP with the Mail.app, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.

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!

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!

Gmail Error: Username and Password Not Accepted?

Okay, once in a while my e-mail actually works on my I phone but about 90% of the time I get this notification; Cannot Get Mail: Username and password not accepted. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Oh yeah, I'm using 1.0.2, gmail, and I'm positive my password and username is right.

I think the problem is solved. Last night I was on my friends computer and I accidentally stored my gmail password. I couldn't figure out how to delete it so I changed my password and then updated my iPhone with the new password. Ever since then I haven't had any problems.

Signed up on furefox desktop 2/2. No problem. Today password not accepted. Asked for help 3 hrs ago and never got email and nit in spam

Was sucesssful signing up and using firefox on desktop yesterday. Today user name and or password not accepted. Can't get emails-nothing. Asked for help with password and never got email. This was 3 hrs ago and not in spam folder

Password for what? Signing up for what?
Firefox doesn't need a password for a person to be able to use it.
Firefox shouldn't affect your ability to get email - Firefox doesn't do email, but it will allow you to access your web-mail service.

Apple id password not accepted on icloud

why is my apple id password not accepted when I try to login to iCloud? The same password worked when I tried to login to support to post this question!

If Settings>iCloud is showing your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

Cant restore back up from iCloud as password not accepted

when trying to restore an 1phone 5s from iCloud back up my password is not accepted..i then go to iforgot, change my password retry the restore process and get the same issue.I have tried turning find phone off, starting again but still cant access back up because password not accepted.

I can't change my DNS settings. I'm trying to restore while setting up my phone. If I change the DNS settings while on the phone, and then restore the phone and try to restore from the back-up on my iCloud, it won't save that I've changed settings to use Google's public DNS. I would log onto my university's secure wifi instead of their guest wifi, but unfortunately I can't. because that involves an installation, which I can't do if I restore my phone and am trying to set it up.

Yahoo mail password not working on new iPhone 5

Hello tifftann,
I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear what exactly you mean when you say that your Yahoo account "stop[ed] working". If you are having issues sending or receiving from the Yahoo mail account you have configured on your iPhone after a recent iOS update, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Changed password not accepted in Mail????

I have recently changed both my Gmail and Hotmail passwords following the announcement that some account details had been posted online.
Now, when starting Mail, I got the pop up window saying my password was not accepted (hotmail) and I duly entered the new password and my mails arrived fine.
However the same cannot be said with Gmail, I have tried a zillion times to put in the new password but Mail still tells me that it is refused and won't download my messages.
Any ideas?
Thxs

Hi,
Quit Mail if it's open.
Open Keychain Access (Applications / Utilities).
Select Passwords on the left.
On the right delete the GMail and Hotmail names.
Quit Keychain Access.
Next time Mail asks for authorization, click "Always Allow".

.mac Password not accepted in Mail?

I've had my .mac email set up on my iMac for several months and 2 days ago I got a message when Mail was checking for new messages that my password was not accepted and for me to re-enter it. Ever since then it has not accepted my password. Why would it do that all of a sudden and how do I fix it? Mail is setup to remember passwords.

I have my Mail app set to check mail every minute but it does not ask
me for my password that often.
When having the Mail.app check the account for new mail every minute and if there are a number of messages to download and/or a single message contains a large attachment or a number of attachments and the communication with the incoming mail server is not completed and closed for whatever reason before the next automatic check for new mail, you will be prompted to manually enter the account's password instead of being provided a proper error message indicating there was a problem communicating with the incoming mail server.
Change the automatic check for new mail to every 5 or 15 minutes instead which should resolve the problem.
To each his own but I have no need or desire to have my email accounts checked for new mail every minute. Checking for new mail every 5 minutes should be plenty adequate.

Mail will not accept account

More wierd icloud issues: I have just set up an icloud account for my wife. The name, email and password work on the ipad and in the browser mail site. But they do not work on the computer itself. It returns a message saying that the name or password are wrong. I have gone back and confirmed the correctness of the email and name and password on the browser and the ipad. But the computer will not accept it.
The computer is a 1st generation air running Lion.

In Mail Accounts, check the under the 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) for your account and make sure the Authentication is set to Password and that your username and password are the same as your incoming mail.

Hard Drive password not accepted in new W530

I am moving a hard drive from a W500 to a W530 laptop. The hard drive has a password on it and it works fine on the W500. When I put the drive in the W530 laptop, it does not accept the password on boot up. If I move the drive back to the W500, it all works fine. This is a 1TB drive, so I'm hoping I can still use it! Thanks for any help here.

Good afternoon and welcome to the community.
Since the HDD password is accepted when it's installed in the W500, why not pull off the password in BIOS there, reinstall the drive into the W530 and then set the password in the W530's BIOS?
Regards.
