Problems with password for alias email address

I am using two e-mail addresses, one the original @verizon.net and an alias I set up @alias.com
I was regularly -- but it seemed sporadically -- getting this following message, sometimes when I tried accessing, but sometimes just when the Apple Mail was open but I wasn't doing anything:
Enter the password for user “ -- alias address --” on IMAP server “mail.--alias--.com”
For a while I hit 'cancel' and everything worked fine.
But then I went into "account" and tried to fix the problem ... and I think I changed the password for the alias. In any case, I am unsure what the password is...and I can't see it on Preferences/Accounts.
Now the root "Inbox" and the "alias" addresses have the tilde by them, indicating offline. Nothing I do gets rid of the tilde. I get that same request for password.
Nonetheless I am still getting all e-mails through the secondary "Verizon" account. That does not have the tilde and is receiving all my e-mails.
I want to clean this up...and avoid the annoying continuing often request for password.
AS I WAS TYPING THIS, the message from Apple Mail popped up again. I had to hit 'cancel' or 'OK' (back and forth, each one) several times before it stopped popping up. This has happened before.

Have spent hours in Preferences/Account ... deleted account, replaced account ... tried SSL on and SSL off. Read "Help/If you can't receive messages". Used Connection Doctor.
I CAN send messages with my alias but am not receiving to it. This is a major problem for me.
There seems to be no way to find out what my correct password should be. I've got two in storage, one much more likely than the other. But neither works.
I'm also uncertain of incoming mail server correct name.

    I'm continually getting a pop-up message on my iPhone asking me to enter my Apple ID password for a email address I no longer use.  How do I make it stop?

    If you are signed into your current iCloud ID you shouldn't be prompted for the old ID unless there is another service still signed into it.  Check the ID in iMessage (Settings>Messages>Send & Receive), FaceTime (Settings>FaceTime), Game Center (Settings>Game Center), the iTunes store (Settings>iTunes & App Store), etc. to make sure you aren't still signed in with the old ID.  If you are, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

  • When setting up me new iphone - it is asking me for an iCloud password for an email address that doesnt belong to me - it is asking this info in order to retreive previously purchased items on itunes, etc. Help?

    When setting up me new iphone - it is asking me for an iCloud password for an email address that doesnt belong to me - it is asking this info in order to retreive previously purchased items on itunes, etc. Help?

    These are a couple different issues
    The purchase issue means they came from a different Apple ID
          You will need that Apple ID and password for those purchases
    The iCloud account can be an Find My iPhone issue.
           That could be the same Apple ID as the purchased or yet another one.
                  Once again you will need that Apple ID and password.

  • HT6170 help with changing password for old email address

    I changed my apple id to my new password over a year ago.  Trying to restore my iphone and its asking for the password for my old apple id (old email address) which I no longer have access to.  Tried the 'answer questions' to reset but it won't accept my valid birthdate.  How can I make this prompt for my old email address go away and make it ask for my new one (new apple id).  A similar issue is that iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password for my old email address as well.

    You can't link to your new account (you created a new iTunes account, you didn't update your existing account ?) until removed removed the activation lock to your old account - you can then link it to your new account in Settings > iCloud.
    If you can't get the password for your old account reset via http://iforgot.apple.com then try contacting Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset it for you.

  • Problem with searching for 'empty' emails with BAPI_BUPA_SEARCH

    Dear ABAP'ers.
    I have got a small problem with BAPI_BUPA_SEARCH.
    I Use this BAPI to search for Business Partners with the Email condition.
    I put rhe Email to lv_email variable, it works ok.
        lv_email = ' '
        CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_BUPA_SEARCH'
          EXPORTING
            email = lv_email
          TABLES
            searchresult = lt_searchresult   <= returns no BuPas
            return       = ls_bapiret2  .
    But I need to have a possibility to search for such Business Partners who have got no email address. Unfortunatellu when I pass an empty lv_email to BAPI, it returns no Business Partners whilst such BuPas exist in database.
    Is there some possibility to search for those BuPas who have got no email address assigned?
    I will be thankful for help.
    Regards,
    P.

    Can you query ADR6 table where SMTP_ADDR = space.

  • I have a problem with mail autofilling info email addresses. Emails sent to me the from looks like this: Holiday in the United States email address . I have no idea what this Holiday in the United States is...How can I fix/change to my name?

    I have an irritating problem with mail autofilling info in email addresses. Emails sent to me the from looks like this: Holiday in the United States <my email address>. I have no idea what this Holiday in the United States is or how it got to be there...How can I fix/change to my name?
    I fixed the To: autofilling incorrectly by deleting my email address from the Previous Recipients List, but is there a way to stop that from coming up on emails that I receive?

    Have you checked your Mac address book? If your email is saved somewhere in your address book with the name "Holidays in the United States" it might be adding the name automatically in Mac Mail.
    Alternatively, try this:
    Delete an Email Address from Auto-Complete in Mac OS X Mail
    To remove an email address from the auto-complete list in Mac OS X Mail:
    Start typing the recipient's address or name in a new message.
    Select the desired address from the auto-complete list as if you'd compose an email to them.
    Click the small down arrow in the recipient.
    Select Remove from Previous Recipients List from the menu.
    You can also search for the unwanted address directly in the previous recipients list:
    Select Window | Previous Recipients from the menu in Mac OS X Mail.
    Highlight the address you want to remove.You can highlight multiple addresses by holding down the Command key.
    Click Remove from List.

  • Updating apps asks for apple id password for old email address

    I clicked on update all for my apps and am asked to sign in to itunes store using the apple id password for an old email address.

    Then sign in with that Apple ID. Whether your email changed or not is irrelevant. The Apple ID "name" (often the email address you originally used to sign up) should not change.

  • Tried to restore from backup but it's asking for my iCloud password for an email address that doesn't exist anymore. What do I do?

    I had my phone replaced today and have tried to restore from the backup I made this morning. It didn't restore properly so I wanted to try again but I can't as it asks for my iCloud password for a non-existant email account. I changed my iCloud email about 6 months ago but my phone still thinks that is the correct email and I can't change it, can't reset my phone, can't do anything. What do I do?

    The fact that the email address doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter. As far as the Apple ID is concerned, the email address is just a user name. As long as you know the password you used, it should be fine.
    If you don't remember the password, start here:

    What if I no longer use my rescue email address and cannot remember the username or password that I set up as my rescure email?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Problems with password for WRT54G ver. 6

    I just bought the router today and when I run the disc that came with the router it prompts me to enter a password and I can't get past that part of the process. I follow the directions exactly and then it tells me to put in some password. It starts with five letters already there and I press enter but it still comes back to put in a password. I tried putting in admin and it didn't work as it just gave me back the same password screen.
    When I have the router connected through my modem it says that my local area connection is actually connected but I can't do anything on the Internet. I was able to connect wirelessly on my laptop but still couldn't use the Internet. If anyone could help me figure out how to fix this that'd be swell.

    Okay, I was able to now get to the router setup with 192.168.1.1 and I can advance past the password part, but when it attempts to connect to the Internet it tells me that my router can't recognize the Internet. When it gave me the advanced options about the connection it started with static IP and I put in the numbers that were the same under my local area connection, but when I tried to save those under the setup for the router it told me that the WAN and LAN addresses were the same. That's the problem I now face.

    Well, it's still not very good quality, and I don't have any further options for the MPEG-4 setting. I think I'll have to play with the different compression formats. The DV/DVCPRO format worked better than MPEG-4, but it's still not very good.

  • Problems with password for options on Blocksite 1.1

    I downloaded Blocksite Plus 1.1 When I hit "options" to try and list websites I want to block the "enter password" window comes up. I enter my FF master password and get "access denied." I enter my FF sign in password and get "access denied." What am I doing wrong?

    Sounds that you hit a password protection feature that the extension incorporates do prevent others from changing settings.
    From https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/blocksite/
    <blockquote>Password protection<br />
    If you lost your password: go to about:config (type about:config in the location bar and press enter) and reset the BlockSite.authenticate entry or clear the BlockSite.password entry.</blockquote>
