My Mobile Me email keeps rejecting my password on all devices

This morning, my me.com email will not allow me to log in on either my desktop, iPad, or iPhone. I am told that the password for my user name has been rejected by the IMAP server. Any one else having this issue, or know a fix?

Maybe some help here

My email keeps rejecting my password. How do I reset it?

My email keeps asking for my password and rejects it each time. I know it is case sensitive. I was fairly sure I have the correct password. Can I reset it and if so how? I can't receive email now. I have a work e mail that I do receive. [email protected] Thanks

Hello,
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Mac OS X server keeps prompting for passwords on all devices.

Hi,
I'm running an Mac OS X Server (10.6.8) with iCal, Address Book and Mail enabled. My issue is that the clients (iCal and Calendar in iOS) keeps asking for passwords on strange intervals, and it usually results in it not accepting the right password until you restart the client. It can run smoothly for days and some times it just goes completely bananas. It makes no difference if its a regular user or a Open Directory user.
This happens to all the services mentioned above but iCal is the worst.

Wait do you mean you are running 10.6.7 server right?
When did you upgrade to this version? Was it ok before the upgrade?

HT204187 Email account does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

I have seral email accounts on my Mac. One does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

Mail keeps rejecting my password.

I know that this has been asked like every single day. But i've spent all day trying to find a solution and can not find a single one.
For some stupid reason Mail on my mac keeps rejecting my password. Like to the point where i've deleted the account and it won't even let me connect enough to readd it. I've already wiped out my mac, reinstalled the software, ran disk utilitie, repaired persmissions, reparied disk, restarted in boot, ran mail doctor.. you name it. Nothing is working. I've had my mac for a little over 2 years, and my iphone 4 the almost the same amount. I have never had a problem until recently. I have a yahoo (ymail) account on both and just started experiencing problems on both of them. (Iphone4, I am not getting the emails pushed through.. even i turn off my phone/turn it back on i get like 20). I've even changed my password through the internet browser and i'll think its working until i Quit Mail and reopen and am asked for my password AGAIN! Please help!!
I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard.
Ps: I've already deleted the keychains and all of that, as i said i've completely wiped out the harddrive and am still having issues with it.

I saw someone on here said to log in to email via the yahoo.com website. So I just logged in with the email address that kept rejecting the password on mac mail, even tho it is an att email address. Now mac mail has stopped rejecting my password. Why is this? I don't know what IMAP is but I am curious about this connection.

I keep trying to access my mail but MAIL keeps rejecting my password. I am an AOL user. Please advise?

I keep trying to access my mail via the MAIL icon on my MacbookPro but it keeps rejecting my password. It worked find an hour ago but all of a sudden it won't work. I tried deleting the acct and re-adding it but still the same problem. The odd thing is I can send no problem.
I am an AOL user and am entering it correctly but it keeps rejecting I can access my acct via aol no problem
Okay now it's effecting my Iphone and Ipad accts.
Please advise?

So far as I can tell this is a server overload problem and Apple is working to fix things. I have had the same thing all morning and just now it cleared up, though not with AOL, but my iCloud mail. I was, of course, typing in the correct password, so the error message one keeps getting is very misleading, as the rejection has nothing to do with the PW. I think if we are all patient things will straighten out through the day. My mail is okay as of noon, crossing my fingers, but at least it is nothing I did wrong.

You keep rejecting my password, sorry i give up if I cannot download

I have spent over an hour and you keep rejecting my password. I give up, I have spent too much time although I want to download, I dont need the frustration.

There should not be any requirement for a password for downloading a trial version of an application. If you provide details of your experience it might be possible to indicate a solution. One that comes to mind is to use a different browser if the one you are using is presenting a requirement for a password... although that sounds like a Mac issue, not an Adobe issue.

My email keeps saying my password is incorrect and I have not been able to get e-mail for days

My email keeps saying my password is incorrect. I have not been able to receive or send email for days now!
Can anyone help

Some servers have case sensitive passwords, so that may be one issue. Is your email MS Exchange, Gmail, Yahoo or ????

Can anyone tell me why iCloud keeps rejecting my password and then all of sudden it will. It also won't load in my keychain.

Can anyone tell me why icloud keeps rejecting my password and then all of a sudden it will. It also won't record in my key chain.

No problem with this with my MacBook Pro or ipod Touch. My iphone keeps displaying incorrect password. All software is up to date.

I am unable to sign-in to my iphone4 to make purchases or update apps. There is no problem with my MacBook Pro or ipod Touch when logging in to iTunes or Apple.com. My iphone keeps displaying incorrect password. All software is up to date. This very strange. Any suggestions how to resolve this problem as it is quite frustrating.

Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

Why does my email account reject my password?

I went ahead and moved my mobileme account to icloud and since I did that my email going to my @me.com and @mac.com addresses rejects my password. I have changed everything I can think to change and read every help topic I can find on the subject and performed every fix they have suggested. I have to have access to this account as it is my primary email address for my non-profit organization! Someone tell me where I am going wrong!!! I really don't have the money to upgrade to Lion right now, but if that is what I have to do I guess I will eat that $60! Someone, anyone, tell me there is an easier explanation!

There might actually be an iCloud issue also. I have been having intermittent password rejects with known-good passwords on my iOS 5.1 devices in the last day or two. (And yes, I have been having them on my pre-Lion Macs accessing iCloud, but they work most of the time.)
How do you know that the password(s) are OK?
Do your password(s) match these criteria?
Minimum of 8 characters, including at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter and 1 number, no special characters.
Verify that you are using the correct server credentials:
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Additional Information
SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud.

Please Help...Mail.app keeps rejecting my password

Hi,
It has been happening for a few hours and I don't know how to solve thnis problem.
It never happened before. I put the correct password, and still I get the pop up window saying " The mobileme IMAP server "imap.mail.me.com" rejected the password for user ....."
I can access my email via browser on the icloud site, but I need to fix the mail.app
Did the configurations for the smtp server changed or something?
Any ideas?
Thank you.

I think the outgoing is smtp.mail.me.com, use default ports 25,465,587, use SSL,
user name is the name without the @me.com, and a blank area for password right now.
In the account > advanced tab> I see Port 993, and Use SSL is checked and it has authentication by password. And the use IDLE command is also checked.
I wonder if that is becaues I'm using snow leopard but I have deleted the keychain thng many times, it won't fix the problem.
I tried to get email again and it gives me an alert that says " there may be a problemw ithe mail sever network. verify the settings for account etc,
the server returned the error: the attempt to read data from the server "imap.mail.me.com"failed. So this is what I'm getting now. That's a different message.
I don't know what's wrong with my computer.

Merging Apple ID and passwords on all devices

Hi, how do I use my Apple ID and password on all my devices? I changed them all on Saturday and it worked but today they have all reverted back again. Now one of my iPod's can't download anything and I cannot login to the AppStore at all because that? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am disabled and live alone, my devices are all in different rooms of a double story house. I'm not able to run around and do it all again by myself. I just don't understand how it was all synced and working and now it's not. Thanks in advance, beth

Mail keeps rejecting my password - no email access for 4 days :-(0

I have not been able to receive or send any mails from my mac or ipod touch. When I get onto the icloud. site I can see that my mails are coming through so it seems to be a port/server problem with mail settings.
Have tried every trick posted online - deleted old account and set it up again, changed port settings to 993 and reconfigured for imap.
Nothing is working.
Is anyone else having these problems? It's driving me bonkers.

Thanks for your input Csound but it's still not working ... argh!
I have changed password for extra strength and also done all the settings you mentioned. Still showing up as a greyed-out account in my mail program that can't go online.
This is how I have the account prefences set up:
And this is the advanced setting box:
Any other ideas?
