.Mail - password request and failure

Starting yesterday .Mail began asking for my password when logging on to .Mac. Now the app will not check or send mail to my .Mac account. It works fine with gMail. The .Mac account is grayed out and a small symbol next to the account appears, looking like a lightning bolt.
Mail can be used by accessing .Mac mail with Safari.

I experienced the same problem yesterday and it seems Apple had some major issues with all servers yesterday for a good while - including servers for the Apple Store and these Discussions.
It cleared up for me late yesterday afternoon.
Have you tried taking the account online or does quitting and re-launching the Mail application make any difference today?

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • TS3276 It would seem that my Mail password is not my Apple ID password.  I thought they would all be the same.  I have no idea what my Mail password is and want to change it but can't as I do not know how to reset the Mail password without having my old o

    I keep getting asked for my Mail password when I want to send or receive mail in Mail.  I do not know what this password is as I thought it was my Apple ID password, but this fails.  I have changed that password so many times recently as I thought they were linked (why aren't they?).  How do I change my Mail password without having my old one?  Are there some security questions I can answer to do this?  Heeeeelp please.

    Your iCloud password is your Apple ID and password. You must know it since you are posting here.
    Have you transfered your MMe account to iCloud? If not, open iCloud in system preferences and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    If you have transfered it to iCloud, do this:
    Go to the iCloud icon in System Preferences and open it. Sign out of iCloud.
    Open Mail. If the iCloud or MMe account still exists in Mail's preferences under accounts, select the account and delete it. Then sign back into iCloud and choose Mail and any other applications in iCloud that you use. The Mail account should be put into Mail automatically.
    Signing out of iCloud should remove the account from Mail and signing back in should put it back. There is no manuel account creation by you when using Apple Mail application.

    I have spent many a wasted hours chatting with a very polite person in India (SBC tech support) about my mail problem only to be assured - more than once - that all my settings are correct and it’s a mac problem.
    So here it is:
    My incoming mail server is: pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
    I have my account password stored my mail program/keychain and sometimes mail manages to automatically access and download my email - just like you'd think it would. BUT then all of a sudden it doesn’t, and I get the error from mail:
    The POP server “pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com” rejected the password for user “[email protected]”
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
    I re-enter - or cancel and wait for the next scheduled auto-check and it happens again and again. Occasionally though it works. If I hit the 'Get Mail' button twice in a row its pretty likely to reject the password at least once.
    Any ideas why this should be - or how I could stop it?
    Thanks in advance

    This issue may have more to do with your mail server rather than your Mac.
    I too was afflicted with issue for over a week. I tried many fixes including, keychain repair, deleting my mail prefs and rebuilding my accounts by hand, toggling the interval button, shutting down and unplugging everything including AC power to my Mac. (btw -cancelling the message seemed to make it come back faster)
    It was happening about half dozen times a day. Then one day it happened only 3 times, the next day twice, the next day once. Then gone! Fingers X'd it's 3 full weeks now without seeing it.
    There is hope!
    EDIT: As Max Miles says multiple computers can cause this. All are valid suggestions and may work in your cases.

  • How do I investigate and solve Pages, Notes, Mail intermittent 'offline' and failure to synchronise problems with Mountain Lion after waking from Sleep

    When I wake up my iMac after sleep, i get a variety of intermittent - but mostly FREQUENT and FRUSTRATING problems including:
    Notes app is offline - as stated by a message in the window bar. If I close Notes and reopen, the app appears to be online. However, Notes does NOT update with items I know are on my iPad or in the web iCloud. Furthermore, if I create a new note on my iMac, the new Note does not upload to iCloud. This is IRRITATING!
    Pages and Numbers - similar situation. I can edit a Pages or Numbers document on my iMac (stored on the iCloud). But then the Pages doc doesn't ALWAYS get uploaded to the iCloud. Then I end up with conflicted versions of the file in the cloud, my iPad, and the two iMacs I use. Then I get CONFUSED and FRUSTRATED. For example, consider these steps:
    Open Pages on my iMac, edit an iCloud file, then save and close file
    Pages/File/Open/iCloud - I note in the iCloud file list the edited file has a little 'cloud' icon against its name. From experience this warns me of TROUBLE - namely that the file has NOT yet been uploaded to the iCloud. However, I just checked the new Beta iCloud on the web, and to my surprise, the file edited on my iMac is apparently in the icloud. But now, I edit the iCloud version, and the changes DO NOT appear on my iMac pages version. OK I realise its in Beta version...
    So now, I open my iPad, open Pages. I note the iCloud version of my edited document updates to my iPad, as indicated by a blue download line. 'It just works' as Steve Jobs claimed at Apple Developers Conference a couple of years back. Again, the edited version form my iPad is now 'up in the cloud' correctly....
    Oh - and now mysteriously the Pages version on my Imac has become synchronised with my iPad/iCloud version! Luck ... but that's about all I can say. It doesn't always happen. I'm LUCKY today.
    Meanwhile, the Note I created on my iMac (Item 1 above) has still not yet appeared on my iPad or iCloud... even though I HOPE it would be given that Pages on my iMac, iPad and iCloud are chatting nicely now! The Note says it's in my iCloud - but  NOT. Similarly, notes updated or added on my iPad, which appear in iCloud, are NOT on my iMac.
    Mail - last but NOT LEAST! and MOST INFURIATING!!! My Gmail, Vodafone NZ and Orcon accounts (in Mail) are all active and receiving after the night's sleep. However, my iCloud mail account has the dreaded offline.
    The message on Mail is "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “ICloud - [email protected]” or try again. The server returned the error: The server “p03-imap.mail.me.com” cannot be contacted on port 993." Despite the message, mail was received this morning at 8:59 am ... some time before I woke-up my computer (a late start this morning).
    If I sent an email FROM my .me iCloud account TO my Vodafone account, the message whooshes away, it's in my SENT box. But it doesn't get delivered to my Vodafone account on my iMac Mail, or anywhere else, Despite the message being listed in my 'Sent' mailbox!!!
    In contrast, a message sent from my Gmail account to my Vodafone account (in Mail) gets sent and received almost instantly on  my iMac and iPad.
    All of the above mishaps are extremely frustrating, as I rush off from working on my iMac at home, get to my iMac at work and find documents I have been updating on my home iMac not available correctly on my work iMac ... or even my iPad. I expect these things from Apple to 'just work'. Furthermore, emails I THINK I have sent (as indicated by them appearing in the Sent folder on my home iMac) ... have not actually been despatched.
    Frankly, I can no longer rely or recommend the Apple iCloud stuff, so I am converting more and more to relying on DropBox and Google.
    These problems only became apparent since I updated to one of the Mountain Lion versions... I can't say when.
    Oh - if I shutdown and restart the computer my Mail works OK. Guess what, I don't want to do that each time I want to use Mail!
    Technicals:
    My iMac is connected by Ethernet cable to my Apple TimeCapsule. The TimeCapsule is connected by Ethernet cable to my Orcon Genius Modem.
    Obviously, my internet connection is A-OK, as I am able to use Firefox to make this posting!

    I've returned to my sleeping iMac after a few days away. Tis time, ALL MAIL accoiunts are offline. I will follow you next set of instructions. In the meantime, here is the DETAIL from MAIL CONNECTION DOCTOR:

  • E-Mail Password Request

    Both my wife and I have separate accounts on the same computer. She has a password for her e-mail and I have one for mine and both are in our respective e-mail preference. But, in her case, sometimes, whenever she opens her e-mail there is a request for her password. The box asking whether the password should be saved is always checked but the same request come up infrequently. In my case, the request hardly comes up, if at all. Is there an explanation why this should happen at all even though her password is in her mail preference and how to stop it and why the same message hardly comes up in my case?

    Thank you, Barry. Yes, I have passwords entered for both the root Verizon address and for the alias address.  However ... I note that the two passwords are of different lengths.  I am no longer 100% certain exactly what they are!  I would like to be able to read my own passwords there but I see no way of doing so in Mail>preferences>accounts>account information.  Is there a way to change the ***** to actual characters?
    Also ... in the outgoing mail server drop down box... Yes, both drop downs have passwords filled in (again, they are different lengths and I'd like to be able to see exactly what they are...I presume the same as the others).  BUT there is one difference between the Verizon root address (SSL is not checked) and the alias (SSL is checked).
       A friend helped me set this up so I'm not sure why it is that way.
    To change the ………, just type in whatever password you wish.  I do not know of a way to "read" the periods.
    I do not use SSL, so I do not know how that behaves.

  • Keychain Login: Password Requests, Login=Pinwheel

    I recently had to reset my apple ID and now upon restart, Claendar Agent, Messages Agent, com.apple.icloudhelper.xpc, mail and accountsd all request the keychain password.  Unfortunately, what I type does not seem correct.  When I open Keychain Access and attempt to login, I get a pinwheel...
    Does anyone know what has changed that would cause these password requests and more importantly how to make them stop?

    Please take these steps to resynchronize the iCloud keychain. Your keychain on iCloud and your other Apple devices won't be affected. Take Step 2 only if Step 1 doesn't solve the problem.
    Step 1
    Back up all data.
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm—the data will remain on the servers. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device. Test.
    Step 2
    If you still have problems, uncheck the Keychain box again and continue.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    ~/Library/Keychains
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "Keychains" should open. Inside it is a subfolder with a long name similar to (but not the same as) this:
               421DE5CA-D745-3AC1-91B0-CE5FC0ABA128
    The above is only an example; yours will have a different name of the same general form. Drag the subfolder (not the Keychains folder) to the Trash and empty.
    Restart the computer and re-enable iCloud Keychain.

  • I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account. Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my account every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail. I cannot edit the outgoing server; how can I send emails?

    I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.

    Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder?  I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
    You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder.  Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks.  I suspect that will work.
    With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages.  If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad.

  • After changing my e-mail address, two iCloud accounts were created, my iphone is unusable due to password requests every few seconds and my account has been blocked. What can I do?

    After changing my e-mail address, two iCloud accounts were created, my iphone is unusable due to password requests every few seconds and my iCloud account has been blocked. What can I do?

    So, you are saying that you set up a brand new Apple ID and then signed into iCloud with it, correct?
    Are you also saying both accounts are disabled for Security reasons? If not, why can't you sign on with the one that is not disabled?

    On the left, you should have a list of keychains and categories. If not, Select Show Keychains from the View menu.
    Select the login keychain and All Items in the Category.
    In the search field, type something that will help find your  account keychains, like "gmail."

  • Why repeated requests for my e-mail password?

    I have DSL service with AT&T and use Apple Mail for sending and receiving e-mail messages. Several weeks ago a message started popping up repeatedly on my desktop requesting that I enter the password for one of my e-mail accounts. I have two e-mail accounts, and I have had innumerable requests to enter the password for each of my accounts. No matter how many times I enter the password the message continues to show up again. This is an aggravating nuisance!
    I have contacted AT&T for tech support, but they are unable to solve the problem. They tell me that this problem commenced 3-4 months ago and is occurring only with Mac Mail users. They suspect that it is related to software updates that Apple has made in the recent past. AT&T management has advised their tech reps not to spend any more time trying to resolve this issue for which they have no solution. Ouch!
    If anybody has an answer to this problem I would appreciate knowing what it is. If not, do you know if Apple management is aware of this problem and whether they are working on a solution? Please advise. Thanks.
    Bob  

    Search this site (search Google if you like) on Password problems and AT&T, at least you'll know you are not alone.
    Then change email providers.
