TS4644 why won't "Mail" store my password for the iCloud email account?

(It's mildly irritating that I have to enter it each time it starts up - and slightly more irritating that I can't save it anywhere)

Go to the Accounts tab of Mail’s Preferences and click the Advanced tab. From here, check the Authentication dropdown. If the active selection is not Apple Token, change it.

I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. my iPad recognisIes the change of id but on my MacBook Air, iCloud just keeps asking me for a password for the old email address/account. How can I get iCloud to recognise the new details? Help please!

I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. My iPad recognises the new detail in iTunes and iCloud but when I go into iCloud through my MacBook Air, it requests a password for the old email account which I can no longer use. There is no Option to be able to change this email/ID detail as I cannot get further than the password request. Can anyone help please - this is driving me insane?!

Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID? (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

HT202667 I don't know the password to my iCloud email account. My Apple and iTunes ID is not my iCloud email address. How do I find my iCloud password? I would like to add this email address to a mail app.

I Downloaded an app that keeps all address' in one place. I went to add my iCloud email and when asked for my password, nothing I tried worked. It is obviously not the same password that I use to login to my Apple or iTunes account. How do I find out my password?

Hi Kim,
The password for your iCloud account and your Apple ID are one in the same, as the iCloud email account is an alias for your Apple ID as well.
After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud. You can also sign in using the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account.
iCloud: Set up an @icloud.com email address

Thanks for your reply. Having read through relevant topics it suggests that if I sync my iphone with the correct account on my pc it should use that one thereafter. i will try both.

Hello farahani hairon nizar,
If your Apple ID was changed from your old account, you may have to change it back to your old account to be able to sign out and then change it back after that is done. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

I have a problem. My Apple ID is not my icloud email address my Apple ID is my msn account, but I need to reset the password for my icloud email because I can't remember what it is. How do I do that?

Your iCloud and @icloud.com login ID is an Apple ID. Go to http://appleid.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use to sign into iCloud (you can check this by going to http://www.icloud.com and signing in there).
Click 'Password & Security' in the sidebar and you will be able to change the password.
HOWEVER
Before you do this you must turn off 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' if you have it enabled on any of your devices, otherwise you will land yourself in difficulties.

It sounds like you are talking about an iPhone that has been Activation Locked. This article explains:

If so, the iPhone can never be unlocked without the original Apple ID and password. This is an anti-theft measure.

How to set up passwords for two Comcast email accounts on Mail?

Have Leopard. Cannot set up passwords on Mail for two Comcast email accounts. Does anyone know how to do?

Hi Paul, & a warm welcome!
Lineone
Login
[email protected]
Incoming email (IMAP)
imap.lineone.net
Incoming email (POP3)
pop3.lineone.net
Outgoing email (SMTP)
smtp.lineone.net
What port & Authentication are you using?
Can you login with your credentials in a Browser using the same info?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the exact message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

HT5624 i do have apple ID and password but i forgot password for the icloud account . what i have to do ?

Your iCloud account and Apple ID should be the same thing. If you go to iforgot.apple.com and enter in the account it's asking you for, you can reset the password for it there by using either security questions or by sending yourself an email. If that doesn't work, try giving apple support a call to get your password reset at

Mail -- How can I change the default email account from which my messages go, without having to change it each time I draft a message? It currently assumes an email account that I rarely use. Thanks.

Hi Tania1894,
If you do not know your iCloud password and did not receive your reset email, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

What is the password for the new user account that is set up via Migration Assistant?

I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro, and used Migration Assistant to download My Documents from a previous PC desktop. The migration was successful, but afterwards the new user account that was set up to house all the new documents became inaccessible to me.
My administrator's password works for my computer and I am able to log in and out, change settings, etc.
However, if I try to log in to the new user account, no password works. Through the administrator's account I have also attempted to change the password, and I am allowed to do so, but when I use the new password I set up, it still denies me access.
Additionally, if I log out the administrator's account and click the new account to log in, it prompts me to make a new password for the account, and whatever I enter is also rejected as "incorrect." (The screen shakes)
I am very frustrated my inability to access this information I must use to work, and I have no idea what the password might be, or how to change it properly.
PLEASE HELP COMMUNITY! I have only had my mac for about a week and I have had it up to hear with this "user friendly" system.

You can change the password from Visual administrator. login to visual administrator, and select services,, under that you will find the system details. change the password.
even if the visual administrator password is expired then u can go thorugh configtoo.bat and there u can change the password.
if that even not possible then u need to login to sql and can execute the commands for changing password.

mahesh

Why won't Mail save my password(S)?

I enter my passwords in the Accounts pane of Mail's preferences, click"save," but they're never saved. As a result, I can't log into my Comcast mail. What to do?

In Mail's Preferences>Accounts, the password won't "stick" in the password field even after I click Save. I've double checked all the other settings in all other fields in Accounts, and all are correct. When I am in Mail and try to send a message (after setting the password in Accounts), a window comes up asking me to fill in my password again. I do, and check to keep it in the keychain, but the same window pops back up again, demanding the password. If I go back into Preferences>Accounts, the password field is blank AGAIN!! Just a little frustrating.
I've tried Keychain repair.
My mail.comcast.net password in Keychain are correct.
I've tried trashing Mail's and Keychain's .plist files and restarting before re-entering the password in Mail>Preferences>Accounts, but I am not sure I did those in the right order. I'm going to try that again and will post back.
I just got a new computer (MacBook Air) and this is the first time I've tried to use the Mail program, using Lion (10.7.1). I never had this problem when I used Snow Leopard and previous OSs.
Thanks for your help.
