Mail won't accept iCloud password

Hi,
I just switched to iCloud from MobileMe, and my Mail program now tells me that my password is not correct. I've gone so for as to delete the account and add it again, and it still will not accept the password. I know the password is correct, it works on this site, as well as directly in iCloud, and on my iPhone, it's only the Mail program that it won't work in. Are there any fixes for this? I know it's a known issue, I've tried a few of the suggestions I've read on here, but none have worked.
Thanks!

My password fits the parameters, and I tried to enter in the info you provided, but still no luck. It's as if the program "forgets" the password I've entered. Where would I use the TLS option if it's not working?
The TLS option is mainly for the Outlook users (Outlook for Windows), did you enter the account manually or let the autosetup do it?

Mail won't accept Gmail Password Since upgrade to Yosemite

Hello there!
I upgraded my iMac 21.5" (late 2012 model) to Yosemite yesterday and since doing so, I can't get the Mail/Calender app to accept the password for any of my Google accounts. The password is definitely correct as I've logged in via Safari and also on my iPhone 5S, iPad Air and iPad Mini and it was all working fine prior to installing Yosemite.
I've had a message from google to say that they've blocked the login as I was trying to access through an app that isn't secure it and that I can enable access to insecure apps if I want to - but surely Mail is secure? It wasn't an issue before, so I'm guessing it is something to do with the Yosemite upgrade but I was just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue and if so, if they fixed it without having to enable the access to insecure apps.

Never mind! I fixed it, I needed to go into the Mail Connection Doctor, into each account and then update both the password and the outbound SMTP server which was sent as "Gmail (offline)" to just "Gmail" and everything seems to be working.

MAIL won't accept correct password

When trying to open my register.com POP email account in MAIL, I am prompted to enter my account password (even though it is already entered in the Mail Account set-up). After entering the password, MAIL tells me that the POP server rejected the password - even though when I access my email account through a browser, the password works fine.

Greetings,
It sounds as though your Keychain may have a corrupt entry. If so, you can fix it like this:
Quit Mail if it's running.
Open Keychain Access > Passwords > Internet and scroll through the list until you find the entry for that mail account and delete it. Quit Keychain Access.
Restart Mail and enter the password for that account when asked, and check the box to save it in the Keychain. If all goes well, it will accept it.

IMac running 10.5.8, me email won't accept my password. One day it worked normally, next day it won't and I did not change password. Now I cannot reset the password, almost as if it was changed by someone else. I am the only user of this iMac.

My email won't accept my password, was working fine, then one day it wasn't. It is almost as if someone else changed the password and now I cannot use my password or change it to a new one. My iMac is running 10.5.8 , using Earthlink and Safari. Any ideas on this problem?

Are you using the Mail client or Safari to access your email?

My email on Mac 10.7.4 won't accept my password.

how can I send email messages if Mac 10.7.4 won't accept my password. It never asked until recently. Messages are delivered and are readable, but I can't send messages. I installed iCloud but I think that was after the email began misbehaving. Thank you for your help.

I checked the pondini fixes and ended up doing the following - in case this could help someone else with an iMac, OSX Lion, and Time Capsule... http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
First, I downloaded and used Airport Utility 5.6 instead of 6.1 - BTW, I had to attempt download and installation THREE times before the program actually installed. Be persistant.
Pondini #5: It's possible some names (of all things!) may be a problem. See item C9. I had to re-name my Mac, Time Capsule, network, etc... to remove all apostrophes and spaces.
Pondini #7: If you have WD SmartWare installed on Lion, it's not compatible, per RoaringApps, and there are reports it can cause this problem as well. Use Western Digital's uninstaller, or delete the app from /Applications and the files com.wdc.WDDMservice.plist and com.wdc.WDSmartWareServer.plist from /Library/LaunchDaemons. There may also be a file in Library/Application Support.
I then had to shut down computer, unplug Time Capsule, unplug modem; plug everything in again, then reboot computer; then had to go to Apple- System Preferences- Network- and reselect my Time Capsule to connect to WiFi again.
Then opened Time Machine preferences again and attempted back up - it worked!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

I'm trying to sync my firefox and it won't accept my password.

Firefox Sync won't accept my password and when I tried to reset it I keep getting hung up on the "An unexpected error occurred. If this continues, please contact support." response after filling out the "Reset Password" fields. I wan't to sync Firefox for this pc. How can I get around this?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== Today: Wednesday 28 July 2010

I solved the problem. Apparently, when I tried to sign up in sync the first time, it didn't go through. All I had to do is re-apply. I used the same username and everything (that's how I know it didn't go throught the first time). My Firefox is now synced and there are no further problems.
P.S.
If only I could sync my Firefox bookmarks, calender and notes with Opera, Safari and Chrome. That'd be great. I like using different browsers for different purposes. When I need the browser to disappear so all I see is what's in the window, Opera works best. Firefox can't disable the tool-bar "Auto-hide" feature in full screen mode. And Safari doesn't have a Hot-key for full-screen. At least not that I've seen.

Setup won't accept my password. Help?

I am trying to install Elements 13 on my Mac. I get a box that says setup want to make changes. type your password to allow. It won't accept my password although this password works for everything else with Adobe.

That's the security software that you have got on your computer. I was asking about the type of thing encryption used on your network, common types are WEP, WPA etc,.
