  • Outgoing Mail & Password Problems-Solution

    Hi All,
    After upgrading to Snow Leopard I had a couple of issues.
    1) Couldn't send mail
    2) Passwords in Mail were not getting saved
    To resolve the outgoing mail problem see this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2998
    Basically edit your outgoing server and change the outgoing port to custom and put in you appropriate port number. I use Cox without SSL so I used 25
    For the password problem go to your Home folder, go into Library and move the folder called "Keychain to the trash then restart. After restarting open Mail go into Preferences and add your password back to your account. It should now retain the password. This will also help with other apps like Safari that use Keychain to store passwords.
    Also I was able to copy a keychain from another computer to get back all of the passwords I already had. After the upgrade my keychain was mostly empty.
    Good Luck,
    Mark

  • Aaargh - saving smtp outgoing mail password

    Hi - please help. I had somehow persuaded my phone to save my password for an outgoing smtp server. After having to restore it for battery issues I can no longer get it to "hold" the password in the password field (goes back to optional"). I know there is a trick to this that I stumbled on the last time. Have tried everything - deleting and starting from scratch, resyncing, not syncing, etc. Please help...

    After entering the password you must back out to the main Settings screen before going to mail. You must also NOT enter a RETURN at the end of the password.

  • TS3899 Outgoing Mail, Password Authentication not stored after upgraded to IOS6

    Hi,
    After upgraded to IOS6, my email setting failed to store password authentication. Everytime i have to go through the setting to send out email. Is this a bug in IOS6? I do not encounter this when my phone is still on IOS5.1.1
    Best regards
    Nic

    Best to delete and start over, and again make sure all info is correct. If it doesnt work try doing it under other, but first restart your phone, hold down the home and off button till the apple symbol comes up. Then redo the acount as stated.

  • HT204187 outgoing mail rejects password on one computer but not the other

    The mail program says the outgoing mail password is incorrect on wife's desktop computer, but mail works from her iPad.

    I, too, have the same problems as listed above. I have changed my password in my mail account several times. Each time my iPhone and iPad accept the new password and is able to send/receive mail. My macbookPro rejects it each time. I have tried deleting it from keychain...still did not fix the problem. Any other suggestions?

  • Outgoing mail server rejected password - using microsoft exchange email

    hi everybody,
    so i have a microsoft exchange outlook email account from my school. i recently have started having troubles with apple mail sending messages. it rejects the password of my email account. i have gone to outlook.com several times and changed the passwords but to no avail. i know it used to work. i went on a trip to guatemala and came back and now it seems to hate me. i cant remember if the problem arose after my switch to snow leopard either..
    i went to the help section on the outlook page after i log in but after i change to those settings its still rejects my outgoing mail password.
    is there a bug with snow leopard? oh good as i am writing this mail just 'quit unexpectedly'..aww the joys of just having microsoft email- imagine a whole operating system based on such inadequacies (i must vent.. this is extremely annoying that i have to reply back to people with my gmail account)..
    thanks in advance!

    It is likely the Port setting for the SMTP has either gotten changed while you were away, or your provider has changed what settings are needed. Check the settings carefully. If you know exactly what Port should be used, change to Use Custom Port, enter the Port manually, and proceed to test again.

  • How do I change my password on the outgoing mail server?

    Getting a "Cannot Send Mail.  The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]@smtp.aol.com" is incorrect" and I can not send any mail messages.  The Outgoing mail server data is greyed out so I can not make changes.  What do I do?

    If you cannot access the SMTP server that way, then you need to remove the account from the phone and add it back again from scratch.

  • SMTP Outgoing Mail Server does not use password so I can not send mail..

    Hi All
    Can anyone help me with this?
    My POP email accounts on Hosting.365.ie do not use a password to authenticate outgoing mail. They rely on a prior authenticated download to enable the outgoing mail server.
    On my MacBook Pro there is an option in the SMTP server settings under authentication for "none' and all my accounts work perfectly on the MacBook.
    However my iPhone4 (brand new) and iPad (both up to date) there is no option under the SMTP server settings for "none". I think this is the root of the problem. Has anyone else come across this or is there a workaround?
    Many thanks if anyone has any insights.
    Peter

    Yeah, I don't know why the difference. Interestingly for me, the iOS version in iOS4.2 is "better" than the OSX version of Mail because now I can have more than one Exchange account.
    I am sympathetic with your need to separate your lives. I have a client that accidentally got one of my alternate email addresses and cannot/will not update his address book with the "correct" address, despite my requesting several times over the course of a year. In any case, I don't think there is any way around this other than completely changing your email address. (If not a second Gmail, then Yahoo, Hotmail or other email provider.)
    The only time I've ever seen a "no password" SMTP server was as I previously said, it used a "network authentication" method. Many, many moons ago, SMTP servers often didn't have password authentication so would often be used for spam relaying. Before mobile users, "network authentication" by ISPs was fine since they could figure out which user was spamming since they could trace the IP addr, MAC addr, etc back through the physical link to the user. But with mobile users who change networks constantly, the general trend was to password authentication, even for wired ISPs since their users would want to have access to send mail while away from home. (e.g.: you're a RoadRunner customer, but want to send mail while using your laptop on vacation in Italy.) This "prior authenticated download" I've never heard of anyone else doing.

  • TS3899 outgoing mail will not send after I changed my password

    did you change the password for you outgoing mail server too?

  • Outgoing Mail - Authentication grayed-out, password not saving

    I am running into a strange problem since having to restore my iPhone after the 1.1.3 software update.
    I am unable to send mail. What I am finding is that the mail accounts that I have set up are not using the password I need to authenticate my outgoing mail. There are two more detailed symptoms, and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen them...
    1.) When I enter a password into the "Optional" area, it isn't staying-- when I go right back to the config screen for that account, it is already gone. Not surprisingly, I am then failing to authenticate when trying to send mail.
    2.) I notice that the "Authentication >" button on the Advanced screen of email account config is greyed-out. I suspect this is somehow related.
    I have tried re-creating the accounts a number of times. Eventually accounts are created, but outgoing email isn't working. This was working before the update, but I also deleted and re-created the accounts after first seeing problems. My provider has ports 25 and 587 open, and requires password authentication to send.

    I may have found my own solution for this, so I am posting it here in case anyone runs into the same thing.
    I removed all Email Accounts from my iPhone. Then I recreated them one at a time, from scratch. If the Add Account screen came up with previous info in it, I started over until it started blank. I was sure to enter the server addresses, passwords, etc. correctly the first time. I didn't specify ports at all. I had to click past a "Do you want to retry without SSL?" message a couple of times for each.
    Once all of that was done properly (took a few tries) the accounts appeared with the password already saved rather than blank. Sending email then worked. The "Authentication" on the Advanced tab now shows up with "Password".
    This looks like a subtle bug to me, even though it has a work-around.

  • I need to change my password for outgoing mail server but it won't let me

    I Need to change my password for outgoing mail server on iPad 2 but it won't let me change it. I can't send out mail

    I assume that you mean that the setting is grayed out and that is what "it won't let me" means. Have you tried selecting another SMTP server of you have another one available in the settings?

  • TS3274 my outgoing mail is not working, it says the password is not correct.  I have the newest version ipad

  • Mail 4.5 SMTP Server Rejecting Password for Outgoing Mail

    I just set up Mail 4.5 and am receiving incoming mails but can't send out my emails. I get a message saying the SMTP server rejected the password. I know it's the correct password, have entered it a few times now. I'd appreciate any advice. thnx

    Hi Jan ...
    From the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
    Select the account on the left.
    Make sure the SMTP server is selected where you see:  Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    Quit then relaunch Mail to test.
    If the correct server is already selected, open Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities
    Select Passwords on the left.
    Use the search field top right corner of the window to find the email account. Then right or control click the keychain then click Delete.
    Go back to the Account Information tab in Mail > Preferences. Type in the correct password. You should be prompted to save that password to a new keychain. Click Yes.
