Mail requesting password for 2 separate email accounts

many times a day, please help.
My settings and passwords are correct and have been fine until this week, now I'm getting asked on a minute to minute basis.
Using Verizon DSL and GoDaddy, thanks!

Like many others, I too have noticed intermittent mail-check authentication failures since around mid-November. I use Eudora 6.2.4 with 3 Verizon accounts and another at my employer; only the Verizon ones have this problem. I see the same thing with Mail.app (version 3.5).
In my case, the problem seems to be 100% correlated with 2 of Verizon's pool of about 15 servers. Please see my postings at
http://forums.verizon.com/vrzn/board/message?board.id=FiOS_Internet&thread.id=10 18 .
I have no explanation as to why some user's Mail Preferences are reverting to APOP. I can see that Ernie Stamper's suggested workaround of setting the preference to "Password" works on Verizon, but IMHO is a bit risky, since that results in your name and password being sent in the clear. I have found that for Verizon users at least, setting the preference to "MD5" is better; that's secure, and it'll work most of the time, but if it fails, Mail will immediately fall back to "Password" which will always work -- that's still unsecure but at least it does that only occasionally rather than every time.

  • Password protecting separate email accounts on one ipad

    Is it possible to password protect separate email accounts on the same ipad?

    Nothing that I know of will disallow deleting apps. I looked at the Restrictions Settings and nothing is there about prevent deletion of items. You can also enable a Passcode that requires you to enter a four digit code to unlock and use your iPad. The downside is that you have to enter the passcode when you want to use your iPad.

  • TS3274 My IPAD want respond after putting in the password for my email account. Help

    For some reason my IPad is asking for an email account password to get to the features on my IPad. Never did that before is there something i can do? I already reset my ITunes password thinking that would allow me in no luck.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • Why does FaceTime keep asking for the password for my email account?

    Is it secure to provide the password for my email address to FaceTime?

    Usually when that happens it is a problem on the mail provider's end.
    In time they will catch it and it will end. Until then, there's nothing you can do on your end.

  • How do you reset a password for an email account that I don't have anymore?

    My email address for my original i-pod is not in use anymore and I can't get it back. I can't remember the secret question and having them send a temporary password to the old email address is useless. I have the music from my i-pod in my i-tunes library, but can't play any of it becuase it keeps asking me to authorize it.

    Welcome to the Apple community hbefland.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • Passwords for POP email Accounts

    Why is my PB constantly requiring that the passwords for my accounts be re-entred?

    I am having the same issue and have been for a while. I notice that if i just cancel the request, it will eventually log-in without requiring me to re-enter my password. I notice it most after changing networks or after a restart. if anyone can identify the cause or a way to prevent this from occurring it would be helpful.
    Two days ago though i did have to put the passrod in for one of my IMAP accounts and it caused me to lose several emails on the other devices on which I get email. The PB retained the emails but they were moved to the junk folder. When I moved them to the Inbox it showed them as being forwarded to me from myself. I am not sure if it is the PB or the email provider.

  • ICloud asks for Apple ID password for old email account

    My iPod Touch 5 keeps asking me for my iCloud Apple ID password for my former mail address. I have tried entering every possibility I can think of (not exactly sure of my old password) so that I might go in and fix or delete it but it still pops up. I have no access to this old address as the account no longer exists and I am no longer with the provider. My current Apple ID shows up fine when I log in to check it and shows no sign of the old address. Any thoughts?
    Running version 8.1.2

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Cannot find outgoing mail server (smtp) for my email account.

    I am trying to set up my college email account and cannot find the smtp sever. I contacted IT at my school and they said they had no idea what I was talking about... I know that it uses microsoft outlook.. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could find the server. (I did however find the mailgate and entered my username and password)

    johnnyg713,
    It sounds like your school might be utilizing an Exchange server. You may want to ask if it is possible to access the server via IMAP, and if so what to use for incoming and outgoing server settings.

  • Forgotten password for old email account(iTunes user id)

    The iTunes account I have on my iPhone is an old account with a password no one can seem to remember, so I finally decided to create a new account on my computer. I can download things just fine with my new account on my computer. I synced my iPhone with my computer thinking it would recognize my new account, but it's still asking me for my old account's password, which I don't remember. I can't ask it to send me my forgotten password because I don't have that email account any more (which is my user id on my iPhone). Any suggestions?

    finally decided to create a new account on my computer
    I would recommend sticking with one account and not using a new account.
    Update the info in the account with your new info.

  • How do I change the password for an email account that is defunct?

    I have two different apple accounts because the original one I no longer have access to the email address.  For a long time I was able to continue to update my apps because I knew the password.  However now it keeps telling me that the password is wrong, and tells me to change the password.  However that must be done through the email.  It's a vicious cycle and now I have about 20 some apps that need updated and I can't!  Very frustrated ... any help?

    Log on to your account with your ISP via webmail and you should be able to change it there.
