When entering password for Yahoo email acct, email has locked up.  can't exit nor enter

My password had changed so when opening my email on my MAC I was asked to enter my email password.  System seemed to lock up.  I can't select Enter nor Cancel.
Is this something I can do to fix myself or do I need to take in to be repaired? 
Thanks for any thoughts....

Try simply dismissing the popup by hitting cancel and then Get Mail from the account in question.

  • Since updating to ios7 i keep getting requests to enter my password for yahoo mail, my email account, and the itunes account details too. The email is connected though and i have no problem receiving new emails. Any ideas ?

    ...I am also concerned as I found an email in my sent items today to someone i have never heard of before....saying hello. I suspect this might mean the problem is the yahoo account maybe hacked but I have no idea....thanks, Stewart

    It sounds as if your account has been compromised. I would recommend logging into those accounts from your computer and their websites and changing your password.

    Hi StuNYC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that  cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

  • When I open Thunderbird it always ask mail server password required and than several times i have to enter password. I have 30 emails.

    When I open Thunderbird it always ask mail server password required and than several times i have to enter password. I have 30 emails. They select email randomly.

    Hey there Sharon47.
    Couple of things that I see when I read this.
    1 - If you have tried to reset your password (and it says that mail has been sent) my guess is that your spam or junk folder may have it on Gmail? That's assuming your old email account (earthlink) is still forwarding to your new (Gmail) account.
    2 - Make sure your Firefox versions are up to date on the devices.
    Also,
    Here's a couple of support articles which may help you with syncing and

  • I am trying to set up a co-worker's email on her iPhone and I don't know what her password for Thunderbird is and neither does she. Can I get the password?

    I am trying to set up a co-worker's email on her iPhone and I don't know what her password for Thunderbird is and neither does she. Can I get the password somehow, or what do you recommend?

    There is no password to Thunderbird. The password you need is to the email account. Contact the email provider for password reset.

  • Why do I keep having to reenter my password for one of my email accounts?

    Why do I keep having to reenter my password for one of my email accounts?

    Likely because one of the servers (the incoming or outgoing) needs authentication before you can receive or send messages.

  • My mail is not accepting my password for one of my email accounts. How can I fix this?

    Mail is not accepting my password for one of my email accounts. I know the passoword is correct.
    It will accept my password for one of my email accounts but not the other.
    I have reset the password in the account settings but it still will not work.
    how can I fix?

    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Window ▹ Connection Doctor
    Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Click Check Again and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.

  • I had to change my password for one of my Email addresses and now I can not get mail into Firefox.

    I had to change my password for one of my Email accounts ([email protected]) and now I can not get the mail to go into Mozilla Firefox and I don't know how to change the password in Mozilla to get the mail into it.
    I looked at how to change my password but the options you told me to use were not available. I clicked on tools then options but there was no sync tab or manage accounts either.

    The login.salesforce.com website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

    If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (do you remember the answers to your security questions or have a rescue email address on the account ?) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the password reset (they can also reset security questions).
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with

    Then update the primary email address to be an email account that you have access to : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621

  • What does enter password for what does cardDAV account "yahoo" mean on ipad 2

    what does enter password for cardDAV account "yahoo" mean on ipad 2

    I'm having exactly the same problem. I saw no further responses and am wondering if you resolved this. Just bought the newest iPad. I'm a comfortable user as I'm on my 3rd iPad. Never seen this asked of me. Incidentally I am also trying to resolve why I "can't connect to apple store". For that I have reset "network settings" & forgotten my wireless network. I'm starting to wonder if the CArdDAV and "can't connect to the apple store are related. I can reach the Internet via Mail & Safari. I have a weak g3 connection. Not able to download anything via that as it's slow right now. I am trying to restore my apps after a theft of my old one. I have quite a few apps I need to download and I can make none of them happen. And every time I reboot the "cardDAV password" request comes up, repeatedly.

  • Keep getting a mail pop up "enter password for account "SBC." ATT says I need to update my Mac mail server program. Anyone know how I can do this?

    I keep getting an annoying pop up for mail "Enter password for account "SBC."  I enter my password but it still pops up. But I can still get my mail when I click on "Get mail."  I called ATT and they said they are aware of the problem with Mac users and that I have to update my Mac Mail server program. Anyone know how I can do this? They want to charge me.

    RE: "Mail, Contacts and Calendars preferences can't connect to the Yahoo account "bellsouth.net".
    I recently changed my ATT U-Verse password…and Mail quit working… it wouldn't send or receive, Safari worked fine.  I tried to send an email and a warning message popped up, "Mail, Contacts and Calendars preferences can't connect to the Yahoo account "bellsouth.net". In smaller type the next sentence read, "Enter the password for user [email protected]". The Password box was highlighted in blue so I just typed in my new password and my email message was immediately sent…but… I still couldn't receive messages AND the above "can't connect" warning message kept popping up on the screen at random.
    Here's the Fix that worked for me. (The problem is that the new password was changed/updated on the keychains "smpt.att.yahoo.com" name-but- the name "pop.att.yahoo.com" didn't update to my new password).
    Go to your Utility windows and select Keychain Access. Under Category select Passwords. Now check your password for your current (newest dated) name, "smpt.att.yahoo.com". Now check the password under, "pop.att.yahoo.com". Mine wasn't the same as my newest password found in my
    "smpt.att.yahoo.com" window so I deleted my old password in the "pop.att.yahoo.com" window and typed in my new password, then selected "Save Changes". MY MAIL NOW WORKED…and no more warning messages cropped up. Problem was fixed.
