Password to Send Email

I hope someone can help with this problem. I use Thunderbird as my default mail programme with BT Yahoo Mail. Recently when I log on to Thunderbird to get mail everything works OK until I reply to or send a message I am prompted to enter my password for a second time; this does not make sense to me as this behaviour never happened previously with my former ISP. Anyone with any suggestions how I could fix this, please help, thank you.

You may sit around for a long time because Yahoo have said that the level of service is acceptable.
See http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/Enter-Network-Password-Pop-up-Outlook-2007/td-p/305049/h...
The same would apply to any POP3 access.

IPhone 4 does not recognize my password to send email, but does to receive? How to fix?

Error message:
CANNOT SEND MAIL
The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]@smtpauth.earthlink.net" is incorrect.
However, I am able to receive email using that user name or password.
What is the problem..??

please don't provide any personal data like emailaddresses, as this is a public forum, accessible to anyone.
Have you tried everything here? http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
Also: try adding a free gmail or hotmail account. If everything works in that account, I'd recommend you contact to email provider.
Good luck

Now Mail Won't Send eMail (self imposed password)

Apple's Mail has a known bug that it deletes your mail passwords sporadically. Now Mail has not only refused to pick up email while deleting the password, but has "deleted" the non existent password to send email.
Before when Mail deleted the password I could put it in again (and again) until it caught and worked again. But there is no outgoing email password, the server does not require one. If I put it a password it doesn't work because it can't. Does anyone have experience with this problem. It did this the first time last week and it went away after a few hours. But I do need to send email for my business.
Is there anything to do other than wait for it to go away again?
Anyone care to recommend a commercial email program to replace Mail? I have a few thousand emails in a few dozen folders that I would like to import. Is there any?
History, read this before asking any questions.
Mail has for years sporadically deleted incoming pop account passwords. They are deleted in Mail. The copy of the password in Keychain is still there, but Mail will fail to pick up your mail and ignore Keychain. This has been posted many times in this forum. The problem occurs randomly and goes away after awhile, but will return. If one has several pop accounts on the same server, some, all, or none of the accounts will have this problem at any given time. When the dialog pops up requesting the password the best thing to do is click cancel. Mail takes the account off-line. After awhile click the icon to the right of the "inbox" and click the button "Take all accounts online." It will usually work again. Sometimes it will not work. Delete the Keychain entry and put in (the same) password the next time the dialog comes up, check the "save in keychain" box and click okay. Usually it will take in then. Not sure why, but if you put the password in the first time the dialog appears, it almost always fails. some users have surmised that Mail sees any delay in the mail server response as a failed password and this problem is more frequent with webmail accounts than email accounts.
After ten years of OS X Mail use, and a year of off and on receiving problems, I have only this week started to have problems sending email. I have checked with my provider and there is nothing wrong with their servers and they have not suddenly changed the required Mail setup.

I blocked out my local IP address, it is correct though.
The last READ from the server does not contain any error that I can see, but I don't know what one would look like. At this point the dialog is up requesting a password.

Apple's Mail has a known bug that it deletes your mail passwords sporadically.
Sounds awfully definitive. Has Apple verified this for you?
I will, from time to time, be prompted for a password. I cancel and try again five minutes later. 90% of the time, it works fine the second time. The other 10% of the time, I have to wait for an indeterminate amount of time, sometimes several hours. This indicates, to me, that there was a problem contacting the server. I used to see similar behavior with Eudora years ago before I switched to Mail.
I never have to actually re-enter the password. At no time have my passwords been deleted.
None of this answers your questions, but hey... you come on here and cry "bug" and you're going to get challenged if others aren't seeing a bug.

Versamail error when sending email

i have a palm t/x. versamail works great receiving mail but when i try to send a new email or reply i get an "error 554 relay access denied". my account is set up as an imap. anyone have suggestions to a solution? thanks all
Post relates to: Palm TX

pdadude, are you using Sprint's SMTP server? They do block a lot of outgoing servers so it's easier sometimes to just use theirs. One way to test is to sign up for a free gmail account and turn on POP or IMAP then configure that in VersaMail. See if you can send then.
Outgoing mail server issuesDoes your Internet service provider (ISP) prevent you from sending emails because they do not recognize your Internet location (via your smartphone)?
Your smartphone may be connected to an IP address that your ISP's email server does not recognize. The server may refuse to send your emails unless you authenticate yourself; it thinks you may be a SPAMmer.
Simple solution: use another SMTP server furnished by your mobile service provider expressly for this purpose. With the exception of AT&T, all mobile service providers offer an SMTP server to get around problems with sending email. Plug in the new SMTP server name, a username and password and off you go.
Contact your mobile service provider, and find out if you can use their SMTP server to send SMTP emails (we provide the details for all the common mobile service providers below to save you the call).
Note: Keep your email service provider's server as the Incoming (POP) server; there is no need o change this.
Does your mobile service provider prevent you from sending emails from a different server?
Many mobile service providers do not allow users to send email from a connection other than their own (the mobile service provider's, that is). Contact your mobile service provider, and find out if you can use their connection to send SMTP emails. If you can, enter this information as the incoming server; keep your email service provider's server as the outgoing server. See the chart below.
Does your mail server require SMTP authentication?
Your email service provider may require a username and password to be entered when you send email. This helps ensure security and reduce spam. See the chart below.
Here's how to add your outgoing username and password:
In VersaMail, open the Menus.
From the Accounts menu, select Account Setup.
Highlight the email account you want to check,then select Edit.
Depending on your version of VersaMail, you may have to select the Next button several times to get to the Advanced settings.
When you see an option for ESMTP (may appear as "Use authentication (ESMTP)" or "My server requires authentication (ESMTP)"), check the box next to this option.
Enter the outgoing username and password for ESMTP. See the chart below for this information.
SMTP servers, usernames and passwords
(find your carrier below) AT&TThe information below is based on former Cingular Wireless* settings, which may have changed. For the latest information, contact AT&T.
With legacy AT&T Wireless accounts, you may have had two email accounts. One contained your former AT&T Wireless mMode username ([email protected]), and the other contained your phone number ([email protected]). If you don't already have an mMode username, contact AT&T for more information.
Former AT&T Wireless accounts could not send emails from third-party email accounts; you needed your mMode email address to send mail. Under former AT&T Wireless settings, you would still be able to receive emails from an unrelated POP3 account, but any outgoing mails must be sent from your mMode email address. Contact AT&T for updates.
Outgoing (SMTP) Server: cwmx.com
User name: (none)
Password: (none)
*AT&T provides service for former Cingular Wireless accounts.Rogers Wireless For Rogers Wireless, you do not need to enter a user name or password, but you do need to enter the SMTP server info.

Sprint PCS Before setting up your email account, you'll need to set your PCS Vision Email password. If you haven't already done this, go to MyPCS on the Sprint PCS website and login. Select "My Personal Information." Under "Passwords," to the right of PCS Vision User Name, select "Modify." You'll see your Sprint PCS email address; remember this address. Go back to My Personal Information. Under PCS Vision User Name, to the right of PCS Vision Password, select "Modify." Create a new password. Note: When you do this, your PCS Vision password will be reset on your smartphone. Make sure you're in an area of coverage.
SMTP Server: smtp.sprintpcs.com
User name: Your PCS Vision Email username (the part before the "@" in your email address)
Password: Your PCS Vision Email password
T-Mobile You may not need to enter an SMTP username and password. However, if you're having problems sending, you may need to contact T-Mobile and register your POP server and password. You'll be issued an SMTP username and password for sending emails on T-Mobile's SMTP server. While you're at the T-Mobile website, turn off the Alerts option, or you'll receive SMS messages containing the text of received emails.
SMTP Server: myemail.t-mobile.com
User name: None, or T-Mobile SMTP username (above)
Password: None, or T-Mobile SMTP password (above)
Verizon Wireless
SMTP Server: smtp.vzwmail.net
User name: [10-digit phone number]@vzwmail.net ([email protected])
Password:Your www.vtext.com password
Security note: If you are uncomfortable using the SMTP server of your mobile service provider, you can also setup VersaMail's SMTP authentication settings so that VersaMail will pass an SMTP username and password to your existing server to meets its security requirements. See the VersaMail portions of your user guide for more details on the options available. Please consult your ISP for the settings required for their particular SMTP server. Some ISPs and DSL providers use restricted IP-ranges for authentication so that it is never possible to authenticate to your current SMTP server when connected via your wireless account. In that case, you have no option but to use the mobile service provider's Outgoing (SMTP) server.

Cannot send email user name or password is incorrect

I have an iPhone 3Gs with 6.1.6 iOS software and gmail. Until last week I could receive and send emails on my phone. Last week I tried to email a photo from my iPhone and received the following message "Cannot send email the user name or password is incorrect". About 30 minutes later I received an email message from google accounts with a sign-in attempt blocked message. Since then I have not been able to send an email from my phone. Every time I try to send an email I get the "User name or Password for Gmail is incorrect" - message. I changed passwords but that didn't help. I can receive emails on my phone but I can't send them. The only way I can send email is by clicking on the less secure apps button on the google accounts settings page.. Why do I get this message now and how can I get gmail working on my phone like it used to? If I delete my gmail account does it just remove it from the phone where the same account can be reinstalled or is it completely gone for good?

Hey YodaObi,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are not able to send emails but are able to receive them. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

I had a power failure 2 days ago, have power now, but cannot send email from my iPad. Everything was fine before that. The box says cannot send mail, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I haven't changed anything. I need help. Thanks

Hi
I had a power failure 2 days ago, my computer is running again, but now I cannot send email from my iPad using Cox or my gmail account. I am receiving mail in my Cox account but not my gmail account.It was working fine until the power failure. It keeps telling me, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I have not changed anything. I don't know what is wrong. Can anyone help me? Thanks

I agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end.

IPad2 iOS 6.1 cannot send email - password not saved

I recently upgraded to IOS 6.1 and it must have been around that time that I started receiving errors when trying to send emails. I can recieve fine, but cannot send. The error I get is "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. No password provided. Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password."
When I add the password to the outgoing server it verifies. I try to send and get the same message. When I go back to the server settings the password is no longer there. Why won't my password save and how can I fix this? I never used to need a password but for some reason it won't work now without it.
I was able to get it to work once from home with the password but now it won't work anywhere. If i try adding a username as well as the password it just gives me an error that the user name is invalid.
I have checked all my smtp and outgoing server settings, added multiple servers (primary, remote, etc....) and validated ports, changed my webmail password with shaw (to ensure req's for mobile access were met), tried deleting the account and setting it up again, etc... Everything short of actually restoring my ipad, which I don't want to do unless there is no other way.
Also as an FYI - I have 2 mail accounts with Shaw but use one only to send mail (in the process of removing the older one). We also just moved and cannot Shaw service at home so are with Eastlink. The Shaw account is still active and will stay active and I have added both Shaw and Eastlink Server details for outgoing mail. When I'm not home, I rely on my Bell 3G connection for data.
Its very frustrating since I no longer have any other way to email and don't have a cell phone so my main way to contact atm was via email. I am fairly certain that the issue is related to apple software and not my servers, but I'm no expert. I have read that I cannot downgrade my iOS as well.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Ya i tried that (see above). No such luck :(. Thx tho.

TS3899 I can not send email from my new iphone 4s. I keep getting message 'set password for msn' acct.

Why can't I send email from my new 4S? Message keeps telling me--enter password in settings..
And where do I find my 'operating system'. (ie 5.0.1 etc)

I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
Anyone???

HT1430 Cannot send email from iPhone 4S ..it keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct and I receive email no problem

Cannot send email from iPhone...keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct.. I recieve email no problem

On my own, I discovered the following, which worked (one responder got the solution part correct for Google): For Yahoo, where I just use a standard login with no extra verification, I had to go into Yahoo and change my password. Once I did this, the new iPhone had no problem registering accepting my Yahoo account. I WAS, however, using the correct password and user name all along, for those who did not think that was the case. The problem is on the iPhone software side. For Google, I use a two step verification, and for that, one must go to Google Mail and obtain a specific, unique password, that is designed to work only on iPhones. Hope this helps anyone else with this dilemma.

"Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

TS3899 cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6.

cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6. it was working up until a few days ago and now refuses to load on both my ipad 2 and iphone 4S
in the process deleted all my contact, very annoying.
all help is much appreciated.
interesting that my gmail account does work perfectly.

this may or may not help - but give it a try. On a forum some were reporting that talk21 is now under the yahoo umbrella. below are the steps this use listed. (This was an android forum, but the email settings should be the same. In short it looks like their server names have changed. An existing account may have simply been forwarded - but if you are reinstalling, it may want a clean install to the right servers.) Pay particular attention to the server names and port settings. (this thread was started based on a discussion of Imap vs pop - you are already an Imap person - so ignore that part)
See if this helps.
why settle for pop3, when IMAP works with talk21 and not only does mail get pushed out faster with IMAP, but when you click refresh it will be received faster than pop3. The other advantage is subfolders are also supported with IMAP but cant be seen with POP3. This mail feature works with my android eclair & hero phone and the settings are exactly the same for win mobiles also (not tested). The mail setting up roadmap is the same from what i can remember once in the mail feature for win mobi.
This is what you need to do to setup Talk21 email with IMAP.
Incoming server settings
IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 143
Security type - none
Outgoing Server settings
SMTP server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 25
Security type - none Also important note - Enable 'require sign-in'
and enter your talk21 username and password The End...works a treat for me p.s. Its only taken me 3 years to work it out with win mobile and recently with android. Finally got it to work...hope this helps all the talk21 users out there. if there are any other similar posts out there with no answer...dont forget to mention my name when passing this post around.

I can get my email from the iCloud website, but my password won't work on my home computer to receive and send email

When I open my email on my home computer, I can't receive or send email that is @mac based. I get a message that my passwork is invalid. When I go to the iCloud website, my password works just fine. Any clues?

Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
