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
Maureen

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 your username/password combination

    in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it

    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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Email server does not recognize username/password

    When I am in iphoto and want to share a picture via email, it comes back with email/server didn't recognize your username/password combination.

    WHat version of iPhoto? For iPhoto '11 in the iPHoto preferences under accounts delete the account and re-enter it - you may need to contact tech support for you e-mail service for settings
    Or IMHO the better solution is to simply set Mail as the default email client for iPhoto

  • Iphoto server does not recognize username/password combo. Is it my apple ID?

    I'm trying to send a photo in iphoto. The error message reads: email server didn't recognize your username/password combination. Is it referring to my apple ID? how do I know which password? since I purchased this laptop I have had to use a million passwords for different things. OMG!! help me...I'm minutes away from throwing it out the window!

    well, you need to find out what your pssword for this account is. Try a password manager like 1password for future reference. hope i helped.

  • I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password

    I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password"  This started after they did the change to Icloud and extended our subcriptions. 
    Tricia

    I guess that the server name is incorrect, then.
    Did it ever work?
    Delete the account, reboot the phone, then add it back and be sure you choose Yahoo as the mail server type. Everthing should then fill in automatically except your user name and password.
