SMTP server rejecting correct passwords for particualr virtualhosted domain

More detail needed....
For example, a domain isn't authenticated, a user is authenticated. Are you saying that ALL users for one domain can not authenticate? Has it ever worked? Have you changed anything? What do the logs show? Is the user ID entered in the POP client a valid short name for the user in WGM? Is mail enabled for the user?
Please post details if you want help.

Can't send mail, get message: the smtp server rejected the password. I tried lock and unlock keychain. I tried unlock captcha. Gmail works okay, it is Mail that does not. Help!! :(

Hi
You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password. Some do, but many do not. When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
In the Account Information tab put the server name
In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
Good luck

Mail: The POP server rejected the password for user

I am completely unable to use Mail.
I keep getting the "The POP server rejected the password for user" on two of my accounts.
The password has not changed and I have entered it correctly.
The accounts just will not go online.
This started yesterday when an old machine accidentally fired up mail and tried to connect using the same user details. Since then, my MacBook Pro is not able to connect to my mail.
My iPad and my iPhone can. There is no problem at the server or the ISP. I have also run the Keychain repair utility.
Please can you advise how I should fix it? Plist? Define the accounts again?
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks

Sorry I can't be of help, I know of others with this problem. In my case I have two accounts that don't work in Mail whilst the other accounts do. I suspect it may be a bug as I've been looking for a solution for sometime. My current solution is to collect the mail on those accounts with an XP netbook which is probably not very helpful!
I have also tried the Keychain repair and at least for a short while it looked as if it had fixed it.
Any ideas anybody before I go through the hassle of reinstalling everything?

The POP server rejected the password for user

Hi Im new to this forum but need help! I can usually fix most things on my mac but the last 2 weeks mail will not recieve any incoming messages as is just says "The POP server “mailin.macmail.com” rejected the password for user “****”
I have looked at other postings and tried keychain etc but nothing will work. This happens with 2 accounts one from macmail and one from NTL (my ISP) I can send mail fine (no password) and can go on to webmail and get my messeages fine on both accounts.
Does anyone have an answer for this?
Many thanks

Ipod touch rejects correct password for home wifi/router

My ipod touch can get unsecured wifi ok (sometimes, which is another discussion) but when I set up a Linksys wireless router at home, my laptop is able to use the wireless but the ipod touch sees the router's name, but rejects the correct password. (I did doublecheck the password by going into the IP address for the Linksys.) Why would my ipod touch not be able to access my own secured network when using the correct password? So I spent some time with Linksys on the telephone and they had me put a long number that they saw in the wireless security tab into the password line. Now there is a check beside my router's name, but I get the message "Safari cannot open the page" when I try to surf. The error was: Operation could not be completed. Invalid argument". I tried a couple more apps (Weather channel, google map, facebook) and the time circle just keeps going around. Why is my ipod touch not working, here?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

TS3276 Mac Mail rejecting correct password for incoming only

My e mail has suddenly started rejecting my password even though it is correct. I can send but cannot receive e mail. This has never happened before but I have no incoming messages on either my Mac or my iphone.

Something seems amiss if both your Mac and iPhone starting having this problem at the same time. Was anything changed in anyway?
Are you sure the outgoing mail is going to the correct server?

Mail 4.5 SMTP Server Rejecting Password for Outgoing Mail

I just set up Mail 4.5 and am receiving incoming mails but can't send out my emails. I get a message saying the SMTP server rejected the password. I know it's the correct password, have entered it a few times now. I'd appreciate any advice. thnx

Hi Jan ...
From the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Select the account on the left.
Make sure the SMTP server is selected where you see: Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
Quit then relaunch Mail to test.
If the correct server is already selected, open Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Use the search field top right corner of the window to find the email account. Then right or control click the keychain then click Delete.
Go back to the Account Information tab in Mail > Preferences. Type in the correct password. You should be prompted to save that password to a new keychain. Click Yes.

Recurrent Mail error: "The server rejected the password"

I've gotten this error message in various versions of Mac OS X on different Macs.
Occasionally this dialog will pop up in Mail saying:
Enter Password for account _______
The server rejected the password for user [my email].
Enter your password again or cancel
Then at the bottom of the dialog there's a checkbox to "Remember this password in my keychain"
Even though I ALWAYS check that box when entering my password, when that error comes up, the box is always unchecked!!
Does the fact that the box is unchecked mean that Mail thinks the password is NOT stored, and if I fail to enter my password again, it will simply stop trying to access my mail?
Is there a way to tell Mail that, since I have stored the password already in the keychain, just keep trying and don't give me that annoying message?

Pages 5.5.2
As I understand it a .5xx pages file (.pages) is actually a folder and is therefore compressed into a zip file when emailing. Certainly, when you email a .pages file (recent version), it arrives as a .Zip even though you don't compress it. I'm pretty sure this was NOT the case with earlier versions.
The key thing here however, is not so much sending a .pages file or any other.zip file - these can be sent by iCloud quite happily. It is about why iCloud won't receive them. If I send a .pages or .zip file from iCloud to my business email, it arrives without any problem. If I send to my iCloud address I get the message size violation - every time.
And just to re-iterate, I have tried sending Zips and Pages files to several other iCloud accounts and they ALL had the same issue.

Smtp server rejects password for outgoing mail

I can receive, but not send messages from my imac and get the message the SMTP server "smtp.tiscali.co.uk" rejected the password for user ".........".
This has just suddenly started happening. I enter what I know to be the password but it is rejected, so I have to send via webmail (now talktalk, not tiscali) or iphone. I have looked on here before and tried re-entering password/changing the port but to no avail. Flummoxed.

The IMAP server ... rejected the password for user ...

When I went to bed last night, Apple Mail (Lion, MacBook Pro) worked fine on my home IMAP server, as they have done for some time.
This morning, I cannot log in and I now get the following error message:
The IMAP server “...” rejected the password for user “...”.
The password is definitely correct. I have typed in the password repeatedly (although it was already correct) to no avail - I just get the same error message again.
Since then, I have tried:
my Linux laptop using Thunderbird
my Xoom (running Android ICS) and K9
my SGS2 (running Honeycomb) and K9
my iPad 2 using IOS Mail
Roundcube (webmail client) on the MacBook Pro itself (so no connectivity issues)
and all still work perfectly. There have been no changes to my mail server (which is Dovecot running on Debian Squeeze, which has been running flawlessly for years) and none to my MacBook Pro (unless they were silent).
I have tried deleting all the relevant items from my keychain, but that has made no difference either.
Any ideas because I'm stumped?

Since I posted this, there has been more, but slightly different, weirdness.
In the middle of a session yesterday, Apple Mail started to do something different. When I typed in the password, it briefly worked (downloading one or two messages) and then the error dialogue box popped up again so clearly the password was always correct.
A short while later, it accepted the password and stopped complaining until ten minutes ago. This time I only had to type in the password once and it is working at the moment but who knows how long for?

My correct password for Mobile Me is rejecting. Can't get my mail.

A couple days ago when I went to open up my mac email, it kept asking for me to sign in, but then it rejected the password. The message I got was "The iCloud IMAP server “p07-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user (my user name)". My correct password for Mobile Me is rejecting. How do I correct. Please note - this is on my laptop going through airport. My main desktop computer is receiving mac mail fine, but when I try to open my mac mail through the web, I can't sign on through the web. I get the rejection message.

I keep getting a message "The MobileMe IMAP server ... rejected the password for ...." I can use that password when I go to iCloud, but my e-mails won't download to my computer. What's the mix-up?

If the setting is greyed out perhaps you have restrictions enabled that would prevent someone from changing accounts. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Changes>Accounts.

Hi there I am having trouble with my outlook express this is the first time it has happened it keeps telling me can't connect to the SMTP server and every password I have tried is incorrect this is for 'iCloud' very frustrating as all our phones are ok

Well I am feeling a bit silly now because that was all I had to do. In the past Workgroup Manager had always opened right up to the list of my users, I never even thought to click on that but apparently that was all that was needed.
I still am not sure how the iChat Server preferences changed themselves on me, but it is not the first time I have had weird "settings" issues with our Snow Leopard Server.
Thanks!
