OS X V10.5 Leopard :: Mail Rejecting Mac Password And Won't Retrieve Messages

Mar 13, 2012

Mail has worked flawlessly for me for several years. But this week, it stopped loading (retrieving) my messages from my .mac/me/iCloud service. For some reason, my .mac account in Mail is offline. When I try to take it back online, mail tells me that my password isn't being accepted. (But it works just fine if I go to my iCloud account and use it to log on and check my mail there. And it's no prob retrieving my mail on my iPhone, either.)

(I have several other e-mail accounts set up in Mail, and they work just fine. Only my .mac/me/iCloud account stopped working.)I've tried to change various settings in the preferences for the account, but it's been to no avail.Some of the various error messages I've received after trying to fix the prob:And here are info panels I see when I check the account in Mail's preferences:Note how port 993 is greyed out here; it's not greyed out for my other email accounts (and it's the same port w/ those, too).

OS X V10.5 Leopard :: 'Mail' Does Not Retrieve Messages?

Mar 24, 2012

Suddenly my 'Mail' program does not 'Get Mail' when I clik the button or choose the command in the menu. Nothing happens, no sign of downloading anything. 

But the red dot on the Dock icon shows I have 8000+ unread messages. 

I haven't added any new software or upgraded the OS for a number of days. Worked OK this morning. I've tried restarting both the program and the computer.

OS X V10.5 Leopard :: Retrieve Mac Mail Password?

Jun 9, 2012

Is there a way I can retrieve my mac mail password? I keep getting asked for it but I've forgotten what it is as I haven't had to use it for years. I've tried keychain but I have no mail password in it. I tried using the same password as my isp's webmail, which I never use, but it didn't work.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Mail App Rejecting Password?

Feb 4, 2012

I have been using apple mail for a while now, I have 4 accounts on it (2 gmail accounts, 2 psmail accounts).  All of a sudden yesterday both psmail accounts stopped sending and receiving emails, and apple mail started asking for my password.  I am able to sign in to both accounts online, AND I am able to send and recieve emails via my ipod touch.  So it seems to be a problem just with the mail app.

ICloud :: Its Mail Keeps Rejecting My Password

Mar 29, 2012

I keep getting the annoying message "The iCloud IMAP server "p01-imap.mail.me.com" rejected the password for user xxxxx" Enter your password again or cancel.This annoying message pops up randomly every few hours on all of my devices running Mail. After talking to Apple support a few times, the problem was escalated to a Specialist who suggested the following:

1) Change the "Check for Mail interval" from Every Minute to a longer interval (e.g. Every 5 minutes).Maybe I don't understand the way that iCloud IMAP works, but I thought only POP mail requires a specified interval for polling for new mail. The beauty of IMAP should be that all events and changes to Mail are reflected instantly to all devices.

2) Change your Mail pasword. I didn't want to do that because it would take a lot of work on the number of OS X and iOS devices that I own.

Jun 9, 2012

I have not been able to receive or send any mails from my mac or ipod touch. When I get onto the icloud. site I can see that my mails are coming through so it seems to be a port/server problem with mail settings. 

Have tried every trick posted online - deleted old account and set it up again, changed port settings to 993 and reconfigured for imap.

ICloud :: Mail Rejecting The Password?

Jun 20, 2012

Mail has been rejecting my wife's password.  This started happening when we were still on Snow Leopard and had moved from mobile me to icloud.  Someone said we needed to update to Lion to fix it.  We upgraded to Lion yesterday but Mail still rejects her password.  It says, " The smtp server (smtp.me.com) rejected password for user ________. Enter password again or cancel.  She enters the password she uses to access ICloud but Mail still rejects it.

OS X :: Mail Rejecting Password For Gmail Account

Jul 30, 2010

All of a sudden, Mail has begun rejecting my password for my Gmail Account. Yesterday the password was fine and had been fine for about 10 or 11 months, until tonight. This is the box I see when I try to get mail: Mail is rejecting every single password that I use. I'm 100% positive that I'm entering the correct password. Is it possible that Gmail is down or doing maintenance which is causing this problem?

MacBook Pro :: Its Mail Keeps Rejecting My Yahoo Password

May 17, 2012

I have my yahoo email account set up in my mac Mail. Recently I keep getting this message saying that Yahoo.ca IMAP server "imap.mail.yahoo.com" rejected the password. My password is all correct and I checked "Remeber this password in my keychain" but it still doesn't work. This message keeps poping out everytime no matter whether Yahoo is trying to receive new emails or not.

I originally thought it was a probelm from Yahoo, and I had emailed them this problem, and they said they had solved this issue from their end even though I kept telling them my password is still not accepted. The strange thing is that I think I could still send and receive emails (although not sure if I am receiving all the emails since the message kept poping out and that my yahoo keeps on going processing mode and then in the end a triangle with exclamation mark just appeared)

Another strange thing is that I have another Yahoo account on my Mail, yet this one never had simialr problem like this before. It is alsways this particular account I have that is having this problem.I tried changing my password, logging in Yahoo from their website making sure the POP setting has checked. Still didn't solve my problem

I have tried going into my keychain to verify and repair my password from Keychain First Aid. But no problem was found.I have also tried deleting my account from Mai Preference and re-added back on, still doesn't work.The first time this problem had happened to this account, I ended up deleting it from Mail and added back on and it seemed to work, however this time nothing seems to be working.

MobileMe :: IMAP Server Rejecting Mail Password

Every now and then, like just now, when I opened up mail I get a message, : Enter the password for Account MobileMe. The mobile me IMAP server 'mail.me.com rejected the password for user '______' Enter your password again or cancel. Mail normally comes up automatically as the password is stored. But I enter my correct password again and it still rejects it.This has happened before and usually self corrects in a day or so, but still is seriously annoying.My wife's MacBook Pro did this a couple days ago and still wont work. She has a MacBook Pro, I have a MacBook.They both run Snow Leopard and we both switched over to ICloud a while back.

Software :: Mail Unable To Retrieve Gmail Messages All Of A Sudden

Mar 21, 2010

I use Mail to access 4 different email accounts, two of which are Gmail accounts. About a week ago Mail stopped retrieving the messages of one of the accounts. It looks like it is trying to download them in that the little status wheel spins, but nothing happens on that account. I can send mail from it, however it is extremely slow to send. I installed Snow Leopard about two months ago and have had no other problems. Now all of a sudden Mail won't download any of my messages from this Gmail account. I haven't changed any settings, and I can access my mail at [URL] using the net interface and also on my iPhone and there are plenty of new messages there. I don't know what to do.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Mobileme Server Rejecting Email Password?

Apr 1, 2012

When I tried to check my email on my mac this morning I got a message saying the account was offline. It asked for my mobileme password which I put in but it was rejected with the message: 

"The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “xxxx.xxxx” 

Enter your password again or cancel." 

I also get this pop-up message when I re-enter my password: 

"There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.  

The server returned the error: Moved: [URL]  

I know the password to be correct as I've signed into both my mobileme and icloud accounts online. I switched to an icloud account several weeks ago.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Mail Shows Number Of Unread Messages But No Messages?

Jun 30, 2012

The Apple Mail on my son's iMac 5, running OS X 10.6.8, shows the number of unread messages (9), but if I click on InBox, the messages themselves don't show up in the main window. This suddenly happened, and none of his old, read messages show up either. But he can access them just fine from his iPod, or through his Network Solutions web mail interface. Also, in Mail we can search part of his email address, and all the messages show up, read and unread! He has no rules set up. The connection doctor shows the connection is fine.
