Server does not recognize my username/password when trying to email photos

I am trying to mail photo's from my Iphoto's through my email account. However each time I try to send the pics I get a message that the server does not recognize my username/password. I have a password for my Bell sympatico account which is the account I am trying to use, but when I enter that password I get the does not recognize message. I then tried to use my Apple password and again same message.
Thank you to anyone who can help me

Hi Bob,
The following is exactly what I do, I go to IPHOTO and click on the photo I want to send, then I go to the Share menu and insert the email address where I want it sent. In that message it shows my other account which is my email address that I use all the time for all my correspondance. So I have that as the address I am sending from
Then I hit send and a text box comes up saying there is some text related to the photo looks like you could put a description here so I just hit Send anyway. Then I hit the send key and that is when the message box pops up with my complete email address with ;smtp.me.com" at the end . None of those letters or characters are in my email address. Any help you can offer I am greatly appreciative!
Cheers
Maureen

Server does not recognize my username password

Hello I just tried to change my account on IPHOTO's to email some photo's. I am still getting the message that the server does not recognize my username/password.
I am getting really frustrated. They mention what is my username , using my email address plus smtp server is added to the end of my email address in one place , so I am not sure what this is and why I am having such difficulty.
Thank you for some help here

What server? What email are you talking about? You're not exactly providing a whole lot of details. I could assume you mean icloud and an icloud address, but no point in wasting time troubleshooting if you mean something else...
And what's up with the picture?

What do I do when IPhoto says "mail server does not recognize user name/password?

What do I do when IPhoto says "mail server does not recognize user name/password?

Fixed by resetting my password to Apple's new protocol! In my case, I had to add a capitol letter.

Working on Lion, trying to share photos via email, error message: "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination". Regular email works fine, don't know how to fix this.

Having trouble with sharing photos via email on my desktop Imac. Error Message when I try to send: "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination. Normal email inbox/outbox works fine, error message only comes up when using "Sharing photos".
Not sure how to fix this, please help.

Are you trying to email directly from iPhoto? If so, check iPhoto>Preferences>Accounts tab and make sure your details are entered correctly there.

Unable to email photos, receive a statement that the server does not recognize my username and or password, have checked multiple times that these are correct

I am unable to e-mail photos, receive a statement saying that the werever does not recognize my username and or password. I have checked multiple times and these are correct.

The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password".
That error message usually will pop up, when there is a conflict between the "From" setting for the mail account you are sending from and the selected outgoing mail server. Probably the outgoing Mail server is receiving a user name and password it does not understand. When the mail returns unsent, do you see the "Try again" panel with the option to select a different outgoing mail server?
If you do not see this panel, change the Mail "Preferences > General" to "If Outgoing server is unavailable: Show a list of alternate servers". This way, you will know, which server Mail is trying to send from.
Have you tried to set "From" pop-up menu to one of your other email addresses? If that works, change your settings in Mail to always send from this address. You can set this option in the Mail "Preferences > Composing: Send New Messages from". I have my "Send New Messages from" set to "iCloud". That is working best for me with iPhoto.

Windows 7 Backup is not accepting my username/password when trying to back up to my network

When trying to Backup (and/or Create a System image) onto my Network w/Windows 7 Professional, after entering my username and password, I get the following pop up message: "The specified network location cannot be used. Verify the path points
to a correct network location and that the supplied credentials can be used for write access to the folder." Details further show " The specified service does not exist as an installed service (0x80070424)"
I have no problems dragging and dropping anything across my network or accessing any part w/Explorer. Originally I had no password set up at all, but set one up just to try and satisfy the Backup setup windows. I've also turned off all Firewall protection
and Anti-virus software. Still no luck. Am on a Home network/Home group, not a Domain.
I've successfully done this in the past with no problems. I don't know what changed - obviously something did.
I've searched the web for answers, but so far have not found any - this is my first post specifically asking for help.
Is it even worth the trouble if I can create an image onto disks or an external hard drive directly connected via USB. Win7 Professional is supposed to Backup to the Network and that is what I would really like to do. Rem: PC - Personal Computer.
Any help would be appreciated - thanks in advance.

Thanks for your response. I'm trying to back up to an external hard drive connected directly to my router (via usb). It's a small home network and permissions on all computers are set to share. Originally I set up no password login on the computers. That's
how I'm able to drag and drop and access any file on any computer from any other computer. I've set the router permissions to access the attached hard drive as well - have tried that (router) username an password combination as well when asked - didn't
expect it to work, and it didn't. I've now set the user login (one account (admin)) on ea. computer to the same combination, hoping it would help the backup issue. Didn't work either. It does not matter what I set the network backup path to (in the Win7
Backup prompt), be it the external hard drive on the router, another computer or anything else on the network, I get the same response. Homegroup permissions on all computers are set to the same. I really only want the convenience of an Image Backup -
to my network - without having to make disks or attaching an external hard drive directly to the laptop.

Sharing via email says the server did not recognize the username and password combination

I am trying to share photos in iPhoto via email (gmail) and it says the server does not recognize the username password combination. I have deleted the email account rebooted iMac and re-entered the gmail account info and I get the same message. I have confirmed the username and password are correct.

LarryHN I guess I should have clarified that. I did try it that way and I am able to email pictures with mail set as the email client. When I change it to iPhoto as the email client is when I get this message. I have the same setup on my Macbook and it works great for emailing pictures from iPhoto. Although I can send them through email client, I prefer doing it through iPhoto.

I suddenly cannot email photos from iphoto. I get a box that says "server does not recognize username or password". I now have to use regular email and cannot re-size my photos.

Suddenly I can no longer email photos directly via iphoto mail. The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password". I used to be able to re-size my photos before sending so that they jpeg or pixels were larger for publishing in newspapers or magazines, but I can no longer do that. Apple tech support told me to change my iphoto "preferences" to using regular email to send. But that does not allow me to re-size. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't know if there was an update that caused this or what? Please help.

I cannot email photos from the iphoto program? Message says that the server does not recognize password or username?

When trying to email a photo from the iphoto program a message appears saying that the server does not recognize the password/username. How do I correct this?

I get "mail server does not recognize your Apple ID and password" when I try to share a picture via email in iPhoto. My iCloud email works ok otherwise. I have check all mail settings for ID and password.

In the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete the account and re-enter it - sometimes that resolves this
Or IMHO the best long term solution is to set Apple Mail as the iPhoto e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and use it - it has a number of advatages and has fewer problems
