Whenever i try to email with iphoto i get a pop-up saying THE EMAIL SERVER DIDNT RECOGNISE USERNAME/PASSWORD COMBINATION
Are you sending from your iCloud Mail address? And do you have two-step verification enabled?
If you had two-step verification enabled, you have to set up an app-specific password for iPhoto, if you want to use iPhoto as a Mail client.
See the post below:
Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler | This solved my question
This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
https://appleid.apple.com
Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
Click Password and Security in the left column
Click Generate an app-specific password
Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
And...voila' (I hope)

When trying to email pictures from IPhoto for the first time, I chose to use my Yahoo server, but I mistakenly entered the wrong password. Since then, everytime I try to email pictures I get a message saying "The server didn't recognize your username/password combination". How can I correct this so I can email pictures using my IPhoto?
iPhoto Menu -> Prefences -> Accounts. Delete and recreate your email account.

When I try to email photos from iPhoto I get this message: The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination. It won't let me change it, what do I do?
Can you send email ok via the Apple Mail application?
The username and password are set in the Accounts section of the Mail application. Start Mail, select preferences and select Accounts. Then make absolutely sure that the username, password and outgoing mail server are entered correctly. -
I have filled out an iPhoto "postcard" format with a message and photo, etc., and when I hit send, I get the message "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." I hit OK but it does not clear to refill the log-in -- and I believe the info was correct to start. I'd like to save (and not have to re-crete) the card, but see no way of doing so, thus am fearful of closing it (for good).
in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it

IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

Select your Mail client from the pop up menu next to: Default email reader
Now select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Select the account on the left that you want to use with iPhoto.
Type in your User name and password
Relaunch iPhoto. Click Share from the menu bar > Email -
I had to reinstall Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on my iMac. Now when I try to open iPhoto i get a pop up saying my photo library was created by a newer version. Did I miss an update or what
We have no way of knowing. Maybe you did or maybe you didn't. If you don't tell us what version you have, how could we know?

IPhoto 9.6: email server didn't recognize your username/password combination
Every time I try to send a photo from iPhoto via e-mail I get "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." I have removed and recreated my iCloud account several times from the Preferences pane, and even tried various combinations of @mac.com, @me.com & @icloud.com. No dice. Any ideas?
If I switch it to use Mail to send the photo it works fine. I don't want to do this, though, because I want to use the formatting features from iPhoto.because I want to use the formatting features from iPhoto.

When I try to send a photo from iPhoto by email, and error message reads "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination". How do I fix this?
Try to reenter you rmail account details in the iPhoto Preferences > Accounts tab.
Delete the mail account entry by pressing the "-" button below the left column in the panel, then add it again by pressing "+".
Also, it is recommended, to set "Mail" as mail client in the iPhoto preferences, and not iPhoto. This has been working much more reliably lately. -
why it says The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination. when I sending pictures from iPhoto to my e-mail.
Have you tried to delete the account from your Preferences and to Re-Enter it? That usually will help.
If not, try to use "Mail.app" as mail client in iPhoto and not iPhoto. Change the the stting in the Preferences > General tab to "Email photos using Mail". This is usually more robust thanthe setting "iPHoto".
