Unable to send photos because server doesn't recognize username/password combo

Have a MacBook Air using iPhoto 9.5.1 and operating system OS X 10.9.3.
I have tried to share photos with email using my Yahoo account. I receive the following message whenever I attempt to send a photo "username/password not recognized by email server."
I have gone into my accounts numerous times in System preferences. My username/password combo is recognized there. I have also changed my password on Yahoo and in my accounts. But I still receive the above message.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Have a current backup before proceeding here. Time Machine or otherwise.
If no outbound messages are sent... There are two different server definitions and two different places where you need a user and a password, the first and most obvious setting within mail is for receiving mail; the POP or IMAP setting. Everybody gets that one. To get to the credentials and the password used to send mail messages (the one that folks don't find as easily), Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the account > switch the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) to "Edit SMTP Server List", then find the Yahoo SMTP server entry, then fix the password there.
Here's the Apple mail troubleshooting information.
If that fails, remove the entry and re-add it.
If smaller messages are sent correctly and larger messages are blocked, Yahoo may be restricting the size of the message(s) being sent. Try smaller messages as a test, or use a file sharing service to transfer the images, or maybe wait for the OS X Yosemite Mail Drop feature.
PS and FWIW, this message was originally posted in the OS X Server forum, and you're not running OS X Server here — OS X Server includes various network services, including a mail server — a mail server is what Yahoo is running here, but OS X Server allows folks to configure and run a mail server locally on a Mac Mini or some other Mac configured as a server. Your MacBook Air would then connect into that server, in addition to or in place of the Yahoo server. Like most other mail servers, the mail server within OS X Server can be configured to block larger messages, too.

Have same username and password for Apple and iCloud. Main email server is btinternet with different username and password. When I try to share a photo using iCloud email I get message that "email server didn't recognise username/password combo". Help.

I have the same username and password for my Apple account and iCloud. My main email server is btinternet. When I try to share a photo by sending an email by iCloud I get a message "Server doesn't recognize username/password combination". Do I need to login to iCloud with my btinternet password?

Seeing others with same problem I have gone into iPhoto>Preferences>Accounts and changed password to btinternet password. It worked. Thanks.

Email server does not recognize username/password combo

I am trying to email photos from iphoto and it is asking for username /password combo. Why is it doing this?

I get the same message.

My mail will not let me send emails but will let me receive.. Any ideas how to fix this?

Please help, tried everything to fix this

This is an Ongoing problem with the built in Mac Mail program. Almost everyday there is at least one post, if not 10 posts, about the same thing on these forums.
Most Mac Fan Boys will respond with "It must be your ISP has changed settings". But every other device you have, Phone, Pad, other computers, whether Mac or PC, have NO problems getting and sending mail with those exact same settings as used in Mac Mail and that Mac Mail worked a few hours ago or yesterday and now it doesn't.
I suggest you switch to some other Mail program, Any other Mail program, and this type of problem will never happen again.

I cannot email a photo from iphoto. A message comes up that says "email server did not recognize username / password combination". How do I fix that? /

I cannot email a photo from iphoto. A message comes up that says " email server did not recognize username / password combination ". There does not seem to be a way from inside iphoto to fix that. Any suggestions ?

Have you set Mail.app or iPhoto as Mail client in the iPhoto Preferences? Mail.app is working more reliable than iPhoto as mail client.
See this post by Old Toad:
Re: I am trying to email photo's from iphoto and I am getting the error message "The email server didn't recognize you username/password combination. I have always been able to email photos out of iphoto. Any suggestions?

You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password. They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary. The call should be free.

i found the error!
little snitch on os x blocks something (i dont know what exact) of adobe in the background. i have no rule defined for adobe in little snitch, so everything of adobe can go out.
when i stop little snitch, everything works fine - photoshop opens videos without the medialink error, photoshop starts up in seconds and premiere starts without a quicktime error.
i report the problem also to objective developement to fix this!
