Unable to put password in mail accounts

I am unable to put the password in my mail accounts. It was working a couple of days ago but now does not have a password and as such cannot get mail.

You might actually try just making a new folder, and dragging the emails into it (in Mail's sidebar).
There is another way around this. In Mail's "File" window, select "import Mailboxes". Navigate to ~/Library/Mail folder, and select the accounts you want to import. Do this for each one (the folder to select will start with IMAP or POP). Then, Mail puts these in an "Import" folder on the sidebar in Mail. Now, disable the accounts.

    Hi there
    I had the same problem and I found this answer to a similar question to ours, so I copied and pasted it for you
    Reset the device by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for approximately 10 seconds.  After it resets the message will be gone and you can go to settings > icloud and put in your password.
    That seems to be a bug with the password alert where it won't respond correctly sometimes.
    Hope this helps

  • I am unable to access my yahoo mail account

    I am unable to access my yahoo mail account on my iphone 4S, i hve tried to add it but keep getting the message "server unavailable try back later"  Can someone help me with this

    When you were entering your new password in mac mail for your Yahoo account, you didn't perchance change the user name from [email protected] to just name without the @att.net? I only ask because I've done that, and att.yahoo mail requires a fully qualified [email protected] for access.
    In mail, you might click on window on the menu bar, then connection doctor. On the account with the red dot next to it, it will tell you why it can't connect, and if you click on it, you'll be taken to where you can fix it.

  • HT1430 Where do I enter a password to mail accounts

    Trying to send an email...error message says to enter a password in mail account settings...where does password go?

    You can go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen. If it's an IMAP based account then tap on your id on the popup that you get and you'll get a screen where you can type your password for incoming mail, for setting a password for outgoing email you need to then tap on the SMTP setting ; for a POP based account you should get the password setting for incoming email on the first screen, and again go into SMTP to set it for outgoing

  • Unable to add my E-Mail Account to the HP Eprint App on my Iphone 4S

    I have Cox E-Mail.  I do receive email on my Iphone, no problem.  I have installed the HP E-Print App, everything works fine except I cannot add my E-Mail Account. Always comes up (Unable to Verify).  I have my mail set up on two different computers, all using the same settings. I have spoken to Cox, tried setting up IMAP or POP account, always the same results, Unable to Verify.  Is there a problem with the App? 
    I set up the following:
    Email:  [edited by Moderator]
    Description:  My Email
    Password:  (my password I have always used)
    Hostname: pop.east.cox.net, (also tried pop.cox.net,  IMAP.cox.net)
    Port: 110  (also tried 993, 995)
    SSL:  Off  (Also tried On)
    I also entered the exact same settings I use on the Iphone to receive mail.
    Any help will be appreciated,  Thanks

    I just read your post after having a similiar issue and trying to make sense of why the settings provided weren't working on either the IMAP or POP email servers.
    Here are the settings that worked for me:
    Email: Username only (Don't use the entire email address)
    Description: Your choice
    Password: Email password
    Hostname: pop.central.cox.net (you might try west or east depending on your location in place of central)
    Port: 110
    SSL off
    Hope this helps.
    I was able to send a document with my iPhone 3GS (old but still works for me) from work to home.
    Cheers!

  • Mail Account NO LONGER stores Passwords for Mail Accounts

    Since my last restart my mac mail accounts (.mac, company, etc) no longer STORE passwords for either the send or smtp receive... Anyone experience this before? I'm going to try and toss the mail pref files and even delete my accounts, but since it's happening to ALL of my accounts (5) at the same time I'm concerned that I'll be wasting my time until I fix what's gotten broken...

    Since these password are stored in your Keychain, try running Keychain First Aid on your Keychain via Keychain Access.

  • Forgot my icloud password; e-mail account is deactivated.

    I recently updated my iphone 4 to iOS 7.0. I tried to update my icloud account. However, I have forgotten my password to that account and I can't reset the password because that e-mail account is deactivated. I have another apple ID I use for the itunes store and such and want to use that for icloud. How do I accomplish this in my situation?

Been working with HP to resolve video call problem where recipient cannot see me but I see them and my image fine. in the process skype was unintalled several times and reinstalled. each time password was rejected as invalid. had not changed it but was forced to. now am told that too many attempts have been made and to wait 24 hours. What bull**bleep**. somehow i am now signed on. i do not see how this company stays in business. they have no customer support address or phone to call. 
    From now on i will use carrier pigeons or cell phone.

  • Unable to click on Internet Mail Account

    I recently received an email that I had to revalidate my personal email account that I have been using on the phone for the past two years.   I follow the steps however when I go to setup, nothing happens with I click on the Internet Mail Account (from the list or the menu)  My Enterprise account is working fine.  I have tried the reboot both with device off and on and tried to follow other steps to delete and resend the service books.  I have re-registered with the wireless network but nothing seems to work.  This is really frustrating.  I really wish I could have more management capability in the desktop software.  Can anyone help?

    Well I have finally won the war against this horrible phone after many wasted hours. Since none of my "options" seem to work I needed worakarounds for everything. Even though I was getting my work emails and it had it's icon back I called ny help desk at work to get a new activation code sent for my enterprise account. After entering the new password and waiting for it to sync for about 10 minutes... success. All of a sudden my personal email account appeared in it's own icon with all my old emails still in it. I have since hidden then main messages icon as it is more a hinderance than anything. Guess I know thw workaround if I ever need to do it again for a new account.
    This all started because I had to change my personal email address password. I also have a Samsung phone and it was very simple. I hit the button for email and it asked for a new password. Why can't blackberry do this as well?!

  • Rejected password for mail account...

    Hello.
    How can I remedy this ongoing issue of the Mail program asking for the password multiple times per week? (quite often, I'll have to enter it 20 times in the course of 5 minutes for it to actually get accepted).
    I'm amazed that this hasn't been fixed yet, but until that happens, how can I temporarily remedy it?
    This is the prompt that I get:
    The POP server “mail.comcast.net” rejected the password for user “alexguitar1”
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
    thank you.

    Check out your Keychain Access (Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access). Two things you can do:
    1. check whether you have two or more keychains for your email account - ideally you should have one per mailbox. Delete any extra ones you don't need (check that the password of the remaining one is correct).
    2. Still in Keychain Access, select the Keychain Access menu and choose "Keychain First Aid". You cna verify and repair any Keychain problems here.
