Trying to send pix in iPhoto and get message email server does not recognize username/password combination.

apple message when trying to send an email " email does not recognize username/password.

Go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane, delete the email account and add it back.
The better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as iPhoto's email client in iiPhoto's General preference pane. That gives you better access to your Contacts, a sent copy and templates similar to iPhoto's in the stationary section of Mail.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Trying to send pics with mms and for some reason it does not work

Usually Im able to send some pictures while texting with mms however not able to send or receive any pictures since an hour ago... how can this happen, help please

yes I'm still able to receive sms but no pics... the strange thing is i was able to receive them about 2 hours ago... and now not able to receive them... and its the same with the person I'm texting with... which is very strange
Also I've notice that when i send a text it says sending 2 of 2 like its still trying to send the pic very strange

TS3276 Well it happened again. Why does my apple me account stop sending mail for no apparent reason. One minute it is working find and 10 seconds latter you get error messages that it does not recognize your password. I am really fed up with the mail sof

Things were going well. Mail was working fine and then the following error message appears out of nowhere. I had not changed any settings. From that point on all efforts to send mail failed, and the error message appeared even thought I used the password to log back in after I quit. Now, an hour after the problem started it takes my password (on the second try after the error message appears) once and sends a test message. Then, one minute later it gives the error message again and refuses to send anything. Why is mail so inconsistent? What can I do in the future to address the problem?
Error message reads "The SMTP server "xxxxx" rejected the password for user "xxx" Please re-enter your password or cancel.
When mail does work again. Should I click the remember this password in keychain or am I just asking for more trouble?
I'm writing this using my IMac computer in a different room. The error also occurs on my powerbook running my new MacBook Pro 12 inch.
Fed up Mac user.

I"m no expert but this used to happen to me all the time (stop downloading, asking for my password, nothing downloading, walking away- 24 hours or more later, all is fine, only to later start all over again)
Well, i gave up for a long time and stopped using that account with mac mail and only accessed it online..recently went and changed the pop3 to only pop and now it works beautifully and seamlessly. Don't ask me why or how, but it does so thought I'd share.

What do i do when i am in mail and it keeps saying it does not recognize my password?

I am just restarting my computer and I am trying to log in to my email. I keep typing my password but it says MobileMe IMAP server "mail.me.com" rejected the password for user enter password again. I keep entering my password and this box keeps popping up. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Hi, Delete the Account & ReEnter..Or you can go the Forgot Password Route..
Try-Repair Permissions, Delete the Original Password in Keychain..Reboot...

How do I fix the server Error I get saying the server does not recognize the RETR command? I can send but not receive.

I am using the Godaddy email service with a POP account. some of my clients are working but many are showing the RETR error from the server. I have deleted the popstate.dat file and this did not solve the issue.

Item 1. Webmail in no way uses any of the servers, ports or protocols used by a mail client. So any assumption drawn regarding mail clients based on web mail is false.
You could have a dead anti virus program. Nortons in particular spits it and drops conections, fails to download mail and sends wrong passwords periodically, but it is certainly not alone. They are all fairly fragile in dealing with mail. Especially SSL secured connections, Only by using man in the middle hacking techniques can anti virus scan SSL secured mail.
We routinely recommend the following as diagnostics for these sorts of issues.
To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.
