Message stating my POP server has rejected my password

Of late - something like the last three weeks - I have been getting a Mail error intermittently. There is no pattern that I can establish.
The error occurs when Mail attempts to check for new emails. I keep two accounts, and the error does not necessarily happen for both at the same time, but can.
The error says:
<The POP server "POP.XXXX.ca" rejected the password for user "[email protected]" Please re-enter your password, or cancel.>
Is there anyone else who has seen this? Is this the OS or the ISP?

You dont say your using Comcast but if you are here is a link to the settings for OSX 10.5.5
I have used this on a number of Mac's and found that the problems were no more.
I you are using Comcast you will have to sign in to get to this link
sending Email must be done on port 995 for Comcast and SSL

My email on my mac (which has iCloud) is giving me a message that the server has rejected my password. When I go onto the internet and sign into iCloud there, the password is accepted. What am I doing wrong??

My email on my mac (which has iCloud) is giving me a message that the server has rejected my password. When I go onto the internet and sign into iCloud there, the password is accepted. What am I doing wrong??

Thanks...I just spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support sorting out the password issues for my various devices!!! My password was compliant with the new rules, but there were some (mysterious) setting issues that required me to delete mail from my MacBookPro and add it back, again. All in all, it was an hour of trouble-shooting which resulted in what, I hope, is a good fix.
Thanks for your help...wishing you continued success in the support community.

Remote SMTP server has rejected address

Hi!
My iCloud.com mail address cannot recieve any mail.
I can logon to iCloud.com using the apple id *****
Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
Recipient address: ******
Reason: Remote SMTP server has rejected address
Diagnostic code: smtp;550 5.7.1 ******... unknown user
Remote system: dns;mail.orcon.net.nz (TCP|17.172.204.239|51103|219.88.242.10|25) (mail.orcon.net.nz ESMTP CanIt-Appliance)

Hello KjelleH,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Given the error you're receiving, it appears that the spelling of the email address is being put in incorrectly. Rather than spelling "iCloud" you have it spelled "iclod."

Take care,

SMTP server has rejected address

When sending an email to a specific address - and only for that specific address - I always get the following message from [email protected]:
Remote SMTP server has rejected address
Diagnosecode: smtp;553 sorry, your envelope sender is in my badmailfrom list (#5.7.1)
Remote-System: dns;mail.apswiss.ch (TCP|17.148.16.105|38370|212.203.95.158|25) (vz-apm-v1.feelfree.ch ESMTP)
The same happens when I directly reply to an email from that address.
Sending the same email from my iPhone works perfectly.
What's wrong? Mail app otherwise works fine.
Any help much appreciated.THX
Daniel

This started happening to me on 8/19/2013 and happens sporadically. If you find a solution please post it I am calling apple tis AM.

Besides not typing in all caps... you probably have Pro Tools installed, the Avid/Digi Core Audio MIDI driver is not compatible with Lion.
It has to be removed... Look in ~/Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers
Seriously, we tend to ignore Dweebs that type in all caps

Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

I'm about ready to migrate everything to google and gmail. Once again, the iCloud iMap server is rejecting my password and refusing to get my mail. This has happened dozens of times since iCloud went live. My password has NEVER been changed.

I'm about ready to migrate everything to google and gmail. Once again, the iCloud iMap server is rejecting my password and refusing to get my mail. This has happened dozens of times since iCloud went live. My password has NEVER been changed. The same password works flawlessly in iTunes store and Apple store. Somebody please give me a reason NOT to cut bait on iCloud.

iCloud Mail is down. Has been for a while. I would hope this will be resolved soon.
I agree with you. iCloud does not seem to have anywhere near a 99.9% uptime. :-)

Mail wants to re-download 1500 messages from my POP server

I tried the delete the "MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2" file trick and it's not working... (I don't know why there's a number 2 at the end"
Everything's been fine with me and Mail.app for the few weeks I've been using it. Last week, however, I noticed that Mail could no longer tell me which messages had been Removed From my Machine (in order to delete them from the server).
Now, Mail wants to download all 1500 messages from my POP server. I noticed this only by accident in the Activity Viewer.
How can I slap Mail and tell it to only download previously un-downloaded messages?
Thanks!
Dual 2.3 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) Mail v2.0.5 (746/746.2)

I tried the delete the "MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2"
file trick and it's not working...
What does "it's not working" mean? It seems to me that it's working pretty well. You deleted it, and now Mail downloads everything still on the server again, which is exactly what deleting that file accomplishes...
I don't know why there's a number 2 at the end
Because Mail 2.0 uses a different file than what Mail 1.x used. It was called MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded (without the 2) in Mail 1.x.

I don't understand what you mean here.
How can I slap Mail and tell it to only download
previously un-downloaded messages?
By restoring the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 file that you deleted previously.
Alternatively, you can choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu located below the list of mailboxes in the main Mail window to open the Account Info window -- type "Account Info" in the search field of Mail Help for more information on this feature. This allows you to selectively remove any messages from the server without having to download them.

Mail server is rejecting my password

Mail server is rejecting my password... I am certain that I am entering the correct password.... It appears as though I cannot recieve new mail or send mail. Please help!
It is a personal gmail account

Go into the mail account in Safari using the web portal and test the password there. Lynnpepe.com doesn't look like an email address.

I can't install itunes. I get an error code 2894 & a message that states the installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. Anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

Are you able to uninstall iTunes and QuickTime?
You might have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, which would allow you to remove some applications that you can't from Control Panel.
Also, take a look at this Apple document -> Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.

SMTP server is rejecting my password in Mail

We have a .Mac account with 4 email addresses on it. For some reason my wife's account works on the .Mac web page fine, but not on the Mac mail app.
She can get mail but when she tries to send, we keep getting a "the smtp server rejected the password for email.mac.com account"
I've checked her account settings against mine (which works fine) and I can't find a difference.
thanks in advance for the help!

I may not be using the right password...never had to enter one to use me.com, but every now and then I would get asked for a password and I would just hit cancel and mail would work fine.

Would like to remove pop-up message stating when remote content has been blocked.

The message appears as: "To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content on this page [Options] X". It can be closed but comes up every time I open an E-mail. I don't want to stop disabling remote content, but I do want to stop this message appearing as it makes the little screen space I have for reading E-mails even smaller.

You could opt to read emails in 'Simple HTML' or 'Plain Text'.

'Your email server has rejected your login' (Outlo...

I have one main account and three sub-accounts. One sub-account has stopped working (which is my main email account) with the above errors. It was fine until yesterday lunchtime - now I can't get my emails. My wife's accounts still work, as does the main account. I need to access my emails - if possible, without calling a dreadful Indian helpline...
Please help...
Cheers,

Well, that was a doozy.
Live Chat worked fine - feels very strange but is much better than a difficult to understand phone conversation. It turns out that the 'account has been compromised'. Not entirely sure what ‘compromised’ means but it's now locked and I have to wait for the Security Team to phone me (within 4 hours - he promised!).
About three days ago I noticed that I got dozens and dozens of bouncing emails (all from yahoo.com). I knotted my eyebrows but didn’t know what was causing it – now I do! The gent on Live Chat said I would be able to get back to the account soon enough, so I hope it’s going to be okay.
I’ve been trying to trace my interwebising over the last few days, and anything that required my email. There is only one: accounts website AAT (http://www.aat.org.uk/), and their forums. Just like most website forums & registrations, they required an email verification… I’m sure it was not fake but their security must have been breached at some point, which has stuffed me a bit too. Sigh.
I’m not even sure what I could have done to avoid the problem (since I had to register with AAT). I have thought about it but there’s been nothing else that’s needed an email contact…
You live and learn, I suppose. From what Sangee said it seems that the security people are able to ‘mend’ the account – I hope so as deleting it and starting yet another email account will be a bit of a pooh.
We’ll see. Thanks again, Keith.
Cheers,
Chris
