Yahoo rejecting my email password in Lion

Pulling my hair out.
have to change the password everytime I need to send an email.
Please help!
Carlo

Hi, it was very kind of you to reply to my question.
The trouble is - Yahoo/BT, radomly reject my password on my iPhone, iPad, and computers.
The only way I can get mail is to change my password and reset my devices, which I have to do several times a day to collect my mail.
Or alternatively, I can sign in with a browser and download my mail.
Or alternatively I can use .me.
This has been happening since I 'upgraded' to Lion.
All my kit is brand new - bought in the last month.
And I have been using Apple gear for twenty years – so I'm in a bit of a pickle.
PS. I'm a small business owner.
PPS. This is really effed up.

  • Browser Hijack? New tab to hijacked Yahoo/AT&T email login opens when booting Mozilla

    When I boot Mozilla two tabs open rather than one. The second tab is to a hijacked email login page asking for my Yahoo/AT&T email password. This second tab appears every time I boot Mozilla and links to the webpage below. I run Windows XP and have the McAfee suite of security programs that comes with AT&T DSL and have changed my password after it was hacked, but I want to stop the second hijacked tab from appearing, for fear I may mistakenly login there again and disclose my new email password.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • I changed my yahoo email password and it will not update on my macbook.  Help!

    I have an iphone, ipad, and a macbook.  I changed my yahoo email password.  The iphone and ipad updated, my macbook refuses to retain the new password.  I have to enter the new password everytime it retrieves mail.  HELP!

    Howdy, JJ!
    I'd suggest taking a look at your Keychain to resolve this.
    I have a couple resources that can help with this.
    Lion Mail: If your password is not saved
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4903
    Open Keychain Access in the Utilities folder in Launchpad. Locate and delete the mail account password item.While in Keychain Access, you can also choose Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid to verify and repair keychain settings.
    If that doesn't do the trick, it's probably worth resetting your keychain:

  • How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences. It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Thanks!! Jen

    How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences (the password from Account Info). Once you enter the password, it keeps it permanently. i do not want that.  It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Also, The other pressing issue i have is, I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account. Instead of creating different user accounts for the MacBook, it's just easier this way. Or is it? If this is a permanent thing, then I may switch back to Lion. I guess I shoud've waited until the kinks were out before installing (**** Mac-head!)
    Thank you all kindly for any suggestions & your time
    Regards,
    JC

    I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account.
    That is simply not possible with Mail, and never has been.  Anyone who uses your account can see all messages stored in Mail.  The only true solution is to not let other people use your account.  Let other people use the guest account, or if you share the machine with someone else, set up a separate user account for that person.  This will also solve the problem of remembering the password.  It will become a non-issue for Mail to remember your password if nobody else has access to your account.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Michael.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account. You may have already done this.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    Nevermind, I fixed it (I think).  I went into Settings | Accounts & Sync and found Yahoo at the bottom of the list (alphabetically).  I selected it and it had an optiion to delete the account, which I did.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Why does my phone continue to ask for my email password

    My phone asks for my email passwords all the time, I never enter the password when it ask but I still send and receive emails fine no problems so why does it ask if everything works? Gmail and yahoo on multiple accounts I have 3 yahoo and 2 gmail and they all ask Dailey

    Because your mail server keeps rejecting it.

    Yesterday I changed my email password on my home computer.  Today, I can't get any new emails on my Samsung Galaxy 4; I deleted the email account entirely and tried to set it up again as a new account, using the new password, but it keeps giving me an error message that reads: Cannot safely connect to server.  The new password is working on my home computer.  I even tried the old password; it just gave me the same error message.

    I'm sorry you're having issues with your e-mail account on your phone Rusty1112. Let's figure out what's going on. First, please try deleting account/information again and then restart phone. When phone is back on, try adding e-mail account again, and be sure you're entering exactly as you set up, meaning its case-sensitive. If you're still getting same error, please let us know and let us know what e-mail account it is, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.
    Thank you,

  • Invalid Email Password - but its not.

    Hi - I hope you can help. I had a BB curve 8520 for past 2 years and loved it.  Over Christmas, my son had my old BB and I bought a new one - exactly the same - the Curve 8520. Both operate on orange networks.  My old BB was v4 new BB is v5. 
    I have a personal email address, and 5 work email accounts - all of which have worked perfectly fine on the old BB.  However when trying to add them to the new BB, although my personal account has been accepted, when trying to input my work email I keep getting a message that the password is not correct (which I know it is. I have even tried resetting my work email password on the email server).     
    The email accounts were removed from the old BB when it was given to my son, and although they have worked on that BB for 2 years, I tried reloading them on his BB - but now have the same error message of incorrect password.
    I have surfed the net and can see this seems to be an issue, mostly for gmail accounts (My work email is not a gmail account) - but no specific response on how to resolve it.   I have carried out all the checks such as making sure keyboard is set to right language, and font does not automatically set capitals as first letter, so that isnt the problem.
    The phone is primarily for business use - so I absolutely have to resolve this.  Anyone have any ideas to save my sanity?
    many thanks
    Michelle

    cogener, please try setting up that additional account in this manner...
