SMTP server is rejecting my password in Mail

We have a .Mac account with 4 email addresses on it. For some reason my wife's account works on the .Mac web page fine, but not on the Mac mail app.
She can get mail but when she tries to send, we keep getting a "the smtp server rejected the password for email.mac.com account"
I've checked her account settings against mine (which works fine) and I can't find a difference.
thanks in advance for the help!

I may not be using the right password...never had to enter one to use me.com, but every now and then I would get asked for a password and I would just hit cancel and mail would work fine.

I'm about ready to migrate everything to google and gmail. Once again, the iCloud iMap server is rejecting my password and refusing to get my mail. This has happened dozens of times since iCloud went live. My password has NEVER been changed.

I'm about ready to migrate everything to google and gmail. Once again, the iCloud iMap server is rejecting my password and refusing to get my mail. This has happened dozens of times since iCloud went live. My password has NEVER been changed. The same password works flawlessly in iTunes store and Apple store. Somebody please give me a reason NOT to cut bait on iCloud.

iCloud Mail is down. Has been for a while. I would hope this will be resolved soon.
I agree with you. iCloud does not seem to have anywhere near a 99.9% uptime. :-)

Mail server is rejecting my password

Mail server is rejecting my password... I am certain that I am entering the correct password.... It appears as though I cannot recieve new mail or send mail. Please help!
It is a personal gmail account

Go into the mail account in Safari using the web portal and test the password there. Lynnpepe.com doesn't look like an email address.

You need to get the settings for your email from your email provider and enter them in Internet Accounts (System Preferences). Many of the common systems are already available, all you need is a password and an email address to set them up.

Hi!
My iCloud.com mail address cannot recieve any mail.

Hello KjelleH,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Given the error you're receiving, it appears that the spelling of the email address is being put in incorrectly. Rather than spelling "iCloud" you have it spelled "iclod."

TS3899 Smtp server does not support password,what do I do now?

Smtp server does not support password,what do I do now?

What mail provider are yo using? I have not heard of one that does not use a password.

My email on my mac (which has iCloud) is giving me a message that the server has rejected my password. When I go onto the internet and sign into iCloud there, the password is accepted. What am I doing wrong??

Thanks...I just spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support sorting out the password issues for my various devices!!! My password was compliant with the new rules, but there were some (mysterious) setting issues that required me to delete mail from my MacBookPro and add it back, again. All in all, it was an hour of trouble-shooting which resulted in what, I hope, is a good fix.
Thanks for your help...wishing you continued success in the support community.

SMTP server has rejected address

When sending an email to a specific address - and only for that specific address - I always get the following message from [email protected]:
Remote SMTP server has rejected address
Diagnosecode: smtp;553 sorry, your envelope sender is in my badmailfrom list (#5.7.1)
Remote-System: dns;mail.apswiss.ch (TCP|17.148.16.105|38370|212.203.95.158|25) (vz-apm-v1.feelfree.ch ESMTP)
The same happens when I directly reply to an email from that address.
Sending the same email from my iPhone works perfectly.
What's wrong? Mail app otherwise works fine.
Any help much appreciated.THX
Daniel

This started happening to me on 8/19/2013 and happens sporadically. If you find a solution please post it I am calling apple tis AM.

Message stating my POP server has rejected my password

Of late - something like the last three weeks - I have been getting a Mail error intermittently. There is no pattern that I can establish.
The error occurs when Mail attempts to check for new emails. I keep two accounts, and the error does not necessarily happen for both at the same time, but can.
The error says:
<The POP server "POP.XXXX.ca" rejected the password for user "[email protected]" Please re-enter your password, or cancel.>
Is there anyone else who has seen this? Is this the OS or the ISP?

You dont say your using Comcast but if you are here is a link to the settings for OSX 10.5.5
I have used this on a number of Mac's and found that the problems were no more.
I you are using Comcast you will have to sign in to get to this link
sending Email must be done on port 995 for Comcast and SSL

Can not specify the SMTP server port, username and password for my SharePoint 2013 web application

We have our SMTP server under port number 141 and we should add username and password. but inside SharePoint 2013, I can only define the SMTP server name , from email, reply-to . But there are not fields to define the port number , the username and password.
So can anyone advice from where I can define the port number and other field settings for the SMTP server ?
Thanks

i am no sure about user name and password. i never saw that option.

provide are regarding configuring SMTP server, while we already have an SMTP server but i need to connect SP with it . can you advice please?

How do I find the SMTP server number in my MB Pro mail program?

For some unknown reason my mail program is just now asking for a password when I attempt to send an email. I verified the password with my ISP. When I go to the Mail program/Preferences/Accounts I see a screen that has three sections. The third section offers "Outgoing mail server (SMTP)" but offers no box allowing a server number such as 587... Why is that option missing? What is likely causing this sudden request for a password?
Thanks,
Jim

I did that and and chose "Use custom port" and entered 587. Still is asking for a PW but when entered it tells me that the server will not accept the password thus will not sent the email. I can send and receive using my PC.
I also can receive emails on the Mac.. So, something else is "set" incorrectly.. ????

Trying to open and Google imap server is rejecting my password

I keep getting hacked and decided to set up all my appliances with 2 step verification. Now I am locked out of my gmail account on my computer. the imap server box keeps appearing asking for my password but rejects it when I enter it. What is my next step?

Did you actually "Make the move" to iCloud? You have to manually do that to transition from MobileMe.

Mail SMTP server not accepting password. Works on all other clients.

I am having issues with Mail and sending emails. Firstly I would like to say I have set this account up on Outlook 2011, Thunderbird and also Outlook PC and I can send and recieve with no problems.
On Mac mail I can recieve emails perfectly.
The account is set up with an SMTP Server. Our server requires authentication therefore I supply my username and password in there too. When I try to send an email mail says the server has rejected the password and asks for the correct password. The password I put in is correct, as it is the same password I have used on the other clients.
So there is something that Mail doesnt like when it comes this server and I cant work out what it is.
The only thing I thought of is that my password is all numbers. Could that make a difference?
Any ideas?

andrewrob,
I had the same problem and found that I had to unlock CAPTCHA here: http://www.google.com/ accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha.
This worked for me. If that doesn't work, you could try this:
1. Open Keychain Access (located inside the Utilities folder which is inside the Applications folder)
2. Highlight the login keychain in the white box to the left.
3. Click the lock above it to lock the login keychain.
4. Now unlock it.
5. Go back to Mail and enter your password again. You will probably have to do it once for incoming mail and once for outgoing mail.
I hope this helps!

Yahoo pop server rejects my password

I use Apple Mail 3.5 on OS 10.5.6. The mail comes through the Yahoo server and then into my Apple Mail account. I have a POP account which has a password. I have used this password for years without a problem. Now I am getting a Apple Mail dialog box to enter my password which is already in my keychain. When I enter it I get a response that "pop.att.yahoo.com" has rejected my password. New mail is being retained in my web mail on Yahoo which carries the same password. I notice that I can send out mail on Apple Mail but cannot receive because the pop account has rejected my password.
Any ideas about what to do?

1. Do not fetch mails more than once every five minutes. Some mail servers will interpret high frequencies in fetching email as attacks.
2. Go to Mail.app > Preferences > Accounts > pick the yahoo account > Advanced > enable "Use SSL" and make sure port 995 is entered just below it.
If that doesn't help please post back the settings of your SMTP server in 2. Go to Mail.app > Preferences > Accounts > pick the yahoo account > Outgoing Mail Account drop down > Edit server list > Advanced.

Mailing without SMTP-Server

Hello Forum,
in the cf8-Administrator I can configure a SMTP-Server with
Username and Password for sending Mails via CF.
Is there a way to connect to a simple Mail-Account with
pop..... and smtp.... , because I don't want to administrate a
mailserver on my webserver.
Or do you now a free (or cheap) mailserver-provider, which I
can configure with: smtp-server-name,etc.
Thank you for any help!
uwe

Solution:
Sorry for asking such a stupid question!!!
I don't need a complete Mailserver. I have filled in the
smtp-Server-address, accountname and password of my
personal-mailbox at my provider.
IT WORKS!
