New Password rejected in Mail

I changed my password in iCloud & now Mail in Snow Leopard rejects the new one (including old ones I have used).  All other products (iPad2, iPhone4 & iCloud) are fine.  I restored using Time Machine, Backup & even reinstalled Snow Leopard using original DVD.  Even deleted mobile me account in preferences then restored from older backup.  Ideas or suggestions?  Thanks.

Dear Hack: no, its not a keychain issue for me.  I tries Time Machine to reset it but no go.  Everything else I get email on works fine (iPad2 & iPhone 4) but Mail on my Mac using Snow Leopard is now useless.  I logged on as guest on my other iMac (Lion) & it works fine.

  • I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected.  It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message).  I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

    Hello there dinadinadina,
    It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
    Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap the affected email account.
    Tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • New  Password Rejected

    I recently changed the password for my ISP/email provider. I updated (Apple) Mail prefs with the new password, but it gets rejected when I try to retrieve mail. I can login through my ISP & retrieve mail through my Browser, so I know I have the correct password. I have also entered, & re-entered the password in mail enough times to know there is no typo.
    In a previous post on this problem, I was advised to trash the related Keychain files in Keychain access, then reset the password etc in Mail. Good suggestion, but has not worked. I have contacted the ISP and they verified that all my (Apple) Mail prefs are correct.
    I tried setting up another account in Mail, but was prompted that the existing account already has that address.
    Suggestions appreciated

    I'm having the same problem and have tried the same thing. I've actually had this problem occur before. I had a G5 and a MacPro Laptop. The laptop was receiving and sending no problem. But the Desktop wasn't. But then the problem went away at some point..? Or Maybe I just stopped using the Desktop for mail.
    I recently upgraded my desktop to a MacPro Intel and I copied over my entire mail folder database from my laptop. I tried deleting the keychains and also updated my ISP's password and still I'm not able to SEND email, although I can receive OK. I have a POP account on my website, a Gmail and a mac.com accounts.
    I'm trying to use the POP server to send. However the same thing happens if I try to use the gmail server or the mac.com server

  • Gmail password rejected in Mail.app

    Hi Everyone,
    I have scanned through much of the archives looking for answers. My wife's 12" Powerbook cannot receive email from pop.gmail.com. It rejects the password EVERY time. We have been through the settings in meticulous detail about 50 times over. NOTHING works. Gmail rejects her password every time.
    Every.
    Time.
    She has been on the gmail website and her password works fine there. Pop is enabled on the Gmail website. We have been through the email setup links at gmail.com time and time again.
    Nothing works. Her password gets rejected time and time and time again ad infinitum.
    HELP!!!!!
    P.S. Works fine on my 17" Powerbook. I have no problems with Gmail.

    hi - i can second this problem with a few more details for trouble shooting.
    I have deleted the Mail account and started over countless times.
    I have changed the password within Gmail, logged and logged back in to make sure the new password is the current one
    I have repaired keychain access
    and to top it all off ...
    i have started an alternate gmail account and successfully linked it up with Mail without problems.
    Any other things i can try before i give up on this email account?

  • .mac password rejected in Mail; works on web

    I have an account set up in Mail to retrieve the mail on my .mac account. For several years and up until today I had no problems receiving my mail. Suddenly I am getting a warning window with the message below when I attempt to get mail.
    "The .Mac server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “myusername”"
    It prompts me to enter my password, which keeps being rejected.
    I did not change anything in my account settings. Also I am able to to login to my .mac account via the WWW and get my mail that way (indeed, if there was something wrong with that password I would not have been able to log in here to post this message).
    I have made sure the password in my Mail account is the same as the password in my .mac settings. This does not make any sense and is very frustrating.
    Does anyone have any insight into this?

    Hello,
    I am having the same problem not being able to access e-mail service through my computer because it won't accept my password. Shaw Cable tells me I need to re-install the Mail program, because they can access my e-mails through their Mac computer. I'm unable access my e-mail through the internet as well. Apparently Apple cannot re-install my e-mail program because the warrenty has run out. Apparently I can re-install the Mail Program myself but I have no idea how. Is there anyone out there who can assist me with this.
    Thank you.

  • Valid POP password rejected by mail

    I've seen this problem before with my mother-in-law's account, and wasn't able to resolve it so she simply stopped using my server for her email, but that's not an option for me, so here's the situation as near as I can tell.
    One of my POP3 accounts started instantly erroneously showing "POP server rejected the password" a couple days ago. I've verified that it's a Mail issue by both logging in to webmail on my server with the same login info as Mail has, and then also configuring Thunderbird with identical info and it successfully logged in and downloaded all messages.
    The error message actually pops up even before it could possibly attempt a login to the server, but I'm not sure where else I can check to troubleshoot. I tried repairing the Keychain, and it reported no problems. I also tried deleting any Keychain entry for that account to no avail either.
    Further information that links it to Mail.app instead of the server or another ISP-related problem is that I have a couple other POP addresses on the exact same server that don't have any problems logging in.

    Hi,
    Could you please specify more precisely WHEN the error message is shown?
    For I have a client that has the same problem and we tracked it down to a stupid timeout problem in Mail - description
    - Start Mail
    - Check for new messages
    - Activity window shows that Mail is sending user name/password to the POP3 server
    - Mail is waiting for the "+OK User johndoe has xx unread messages." message from the server
    (actually it is only waiting for "+OK" part of the conversation but ....)
    - The problem arises when my client leaves to many unread messages on the server. Then it takes SEVERAL MINUTES before the server will come back after Mail did send user name/password.
    HOWEVER (lil' stupid) Mail has a timeout of (iirc) 1 minute before it gives up assuming that user name/password was incorrect. And displays the dreaded error message "POP server rejected password"...
    So - please test with Terminal or any other programm how long it takes (after providing user name/password) until the POP3 server comes back with the message "+OK"....
    This will help diagnose the problem.
    Cheers,
    Walter

  • Can't send mail- password rejected

    I just got a new MacBook and after setting up Mail, I can receive emails but I can't send them. I get an error message that reads "The SMTP server “smtpauth.earthlink.net” rejected the password. Please re-enter your password, or cancel." But then when I re-enter the password, it still rejects it. I've read every troubleshooting thing I can find, but nothing will solve this problem. I've checked the outgoing mail server, my user name and password and everything is correct. And I still can't send mail. HELP!

    Hi
    You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password.  Some do, but many do not.  When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
    Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
    Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
    In the Account Information tab put the server name
    In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
    Good luck

  • E-mail password rejection AGAIN

    This wasaproblem a few months ago
    http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/E-mail-password-rejection/td-p/234061/highlight/true/pag...
    All happening again today.
    I DESPAIR of BTOpenworld

    Am also having exactly the same irritating problem as davrh (the original poster).
    My configuration is Intel iMac, OS X 10.5.8 & Apple Mail 3.6.
    Worked fine for about 3 years, then started rejecting passwords as below:-
    The POP server “mail.btinternet.com” rejected the password for user “[email protected]”
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
    Problem started about five months ago. I am using 3 BTinternet mail addresses within 2 Apple user accounts on the same iMac - all the BT e-mail addresses have the same problem.
    Interestingly, a gmail account operated within the Mail client does not have the problem.
    I have increased the time period for the Apple mail client to "check for new mail",  as an attempt reduce the number of pop-ups and relieve the irritation factor.
    As passwords are set within in the Mail client account information, this should not be an invalid password issue.
    I suspect it may be a timing issue on the BT Mail server side.
    I had hoped the issue would be resolved with the new update of BT Yahoo - which is advertised as being 2 x faster.
    But it hasn't!
    Really need a fix for this.

  • Mac Mail iCloud password rejected on only one computer

    On only one of my computers, I can't get my email from my iCloud account using Mac Mail, because my password keeps getting rejected. I am sure that the password is correct, and it works fine on two other computers and my phone.  No matter how many times or different ways I try to re-enter the password, that one email account on that one computer won't connect and see my mail.  Multiple restarts and temporarily disabling the account have not fixed the issue.
    I have read one suggestion to delete the account and then re-add it, but I have over 5000 emails in there and don't want to have to do that if possible out of fear of causing additional problems.   Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    OS 10.8.5

    So, if I delete the mailbox and re-add it (starting new) all my iCloud mail (inbox and sent) should reappear?

  • TS3276 I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails to people in my address book. Hotmail advised me to change my password for that account, which I did. Why won't mail recognise the new password?

    I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails from my address book. Hotmail advised me to delete all contacts and change the password for that account, which I did on my laptop running windows XP. The change was successful and I was able to send and receive emails with no problem. I then had to change the account password on my iPhone 4s, which I did and it too was successful but when I came to change the password on my iMac, running the latest version of Lion it would not recognise the new password. I have tried to remove the account details and re-install but every time I go to add new account my old details are in the box. This is very frustrating as I use my iMac for all my profects and I need to access my email. Please help.

    hi guys,
    I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

    Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back?   I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.
