TS4002 rejected the password

i am getting this message " The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user ...". I am getting mail fine on my iphone and Ipad, just not thru MAIL.

Was having exactly the same problem. Went to Mail Prefs and on my iCloud mail account went to Advanced. On Authentication, I changed from Password to Apple Token and it worked! Hope this works for you, too...

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.

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?

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

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?

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

Try signing out and then back in again by going into Settings>Store>Apple ID:>Sign Out>

Make sure that your Apple ID is your email address and you do not have any other or old IDs associated with you. Go to www.appleid.apple.com and confirm this info. Make sure that the email address you are trying to sign up with is your primary one.

POP rejected the password

Hello
I have been sufferng with the same issue for sometime on my Mac Mail.
Every single account I have on I keep getting a window requesting the password and then it rejects it and another window saying POP rejected the password for the user. When the passwords are 100% correct
How can I fix this?

I cannot sign into the APP Store to get new apps it keeps aSKING ME FOR MY PASSWORD AND REJECTS THE PASSWORD

RESET PASSWORD CONSTANTLY. SEEMS LIKE ITS OUT OF SYNC WITH ITUNES, HAVE GONE BACK TO THE FACTORY SETTINGS AND HAVE SYNC AGAIN WITH ITUNES SUCCESSFULLY
WHEN EVER i TRY TO DOWNLOIAD AN APP IT WILL REJECT THE PASSWORD. HAVE RESET THE PASSWORD SEVERAL TIMES. STILL CANNOT DOWNLOAD ANY NEW APPS

I'm having the same problem with my iPad Mini. I've decided after many attempts that it's Apple's problem, since I have no problem accessing the store and making purchases through my other devices. It's saving me a lot of money not being able to buy new apps and in-app purchases. And I'm not going to waste any time with Apple Support on it. They want my money, they can figure it out all on their own. Maybe Samsung is better with this sort of hiccup...

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

Intermittent "The mail server rejected the password" on SBC-Yahoo

I have Mail set to automatically check email every 5 minutes from an SBC-Yahoo DSL line.
*Every day* when I come home, the "Server rejected the password" error dialog is waiting for me. Of course, the password is correct. When I re-enter it, Mail downloads the mail correctly.
This problem seems to occur more often since I switched over from the old prodigy.net to the sbc.yahoo.com servers.
While I sure wished that Mail was not totally boneheaded in handling the occasional failed POP connection attempt, I wonder whether:
1. I am the only one having this problem
2. It's a Yahoo problem
3. Is there a way to fix it?
TIA

I am having the same problem. I have to re-type my password for two POP accounts each time I start MAIL. It doesn't hold the SMTP passwords either.
Once I go into the preferences and re-type them it will connect fine until I restart MAIL and I have to start all over again...I too wonder the same things!

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.

Mail Password Issue (server rejecting the password)

Every time i try to get my email i get a message back that says "The MobileMe IMAP server 'mail.me.com' rejected the password for user dswich". Is there a way to reset (or retrieve) my password so that i can get back into my email? Because clearly i don't have the right password......

I have the same issue. Just replaced a hard drive and restored everything. Only thing that did not come with it were the mail info. No big deal, I thought. But when I tried to put in all the password information, it would not accept it. It is the only thing left to do. Email boxes-everything imported back in from my backup hard drive. Just a little frustrated right now.
Ok. Just changed my password according to iCloud requirements. Still no joy. I get email on my iPad and my iPhone, but I cannot seem to get the mail sent to my computer with the new hard drive. So, I am with you. Is there a way to verify the email settings?

Exchange "rejected the password" possible fix

This is for anybody using mail.app and getting the exchange "rejected the password" or mapi as well.
Spent half a day trouble shooting this and finally looked on the server. In the event log it said my account had more than 16 connections open. Maybe a heavy web session screwed the somewhat fragile network connection. Anyway a simple restart of the MAPI service and it stopped asking for a password every time I tried to go online.

What is your time interval setting for automatically checking for new mail?
A big complaint of mine with the Mail.app are incorrect error messages such as this. This error message is usually an indication there is a problem with Mail communicating with the incoming mail server for whatever reason. Instead of an accurate/correct error message provided that indicates there is a problem communicating with the incoming mail server which has nothing to do with the account's password, this is provided instead.
Checking for new mail every minute will cause this if there is a delay closing the communication with the server from the previous check for new mail before the next automatic check.
If set to every minute, changing it to every 5 minutes will usually resolve this.
I have Mail set to check for new mail every 15 minutes and I never experience the same.
