OS X V10.7 Lion :: Apple Mail Says "password Rejected By Smtp Server"
Apr 2, 2012
I am using Macbook Pro (OS Lion), unable to send/receive emails. I have reset all settings (no help). Problem is temporarily resolved by logging into webmail but then issue returns once Apple Mail app is shut down and then re-opened. Server tech support (Rogers/Yahoo) says that the mail client keeps sending the wrong password so the account gets locked out. I have changed the password and re-entered all the mail settings?
So the mail on my macbook just suddenly stopped being able to receive or send anything, everytime I open mail I get a pop up box saying:
The SMTP server [URL]rejected the password for user �schreiber16�
re-enter your password, or cancel.
So I enter my password but the box keeps popping up.
when it comes to this sort of stuff, and Google tells me that it may be something to do with my ISP.. but I'm at a loss how to fix it. I did a search and there have been others with the same problem as me, but most of them said the problem fixed itself, whereas mine hasn't after a couple of weeks.
I canceled by mobile.me account and now I am getting this message when I open my mail. Enter password for account "smtp.me.com:xxx". SMTP server "smtp.me.com" rejected the password for user "xxx". I try to put my mobile.me password, but that does not seem to work. I am fairly new to Mac OS and cant seem to figure out what is going on.
The SMTP server I use for sending email had been working fine up until about a week ago. Although no changes were made to my setup, now virtually every time I send an email, I get the pop-up "Cannot send message using server xxxx".
When click on "Try with selected server" (the same server), it will then usually send okay; sometimes it takes an additional attempt.
Is this some keychain issue or something?
I've deleted the SMTP server and re-entered all the info, but it's still happening.
The SMTP server is the one from my ISP, so they should be okay with it.
I just set up Mail 4.5 and am receiving incoming mails but can't send out my emails. I get a message saying the SMTP server rejected the password. I know it's the correct password, have entered it a few times now.
Every few minutes, my Mail rejects my Hotmail password and says "The Hotmail POP serverrejected the password for user ______". I looked it up on google and apparently hotmail may be set up to reject passwords or deny POP access if the polling rate is too fast... I'm not sure what's going on. I click "remember password in keychain" every time but it pops up every hour at least.
I can't access my iCloud email on my Mac mail, Get it on iphone but not Mac mail on computers, The iCloud IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for use
Why do i keep getting the following on my imac 27" when it does not happen on my ipad or macbook air? "The Yahoo! IMAP server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” rejected the password for user " Getting very frustrated with it. I have tried removing the account and repacing and also changing the password. It is not the password entry that is the problem. Any solutions? All software up to date.
I am getting this message "The iCloud IMAP server "p99-imap.mail.me.com" rejected the password for user ...". I am getting mail fine on my iphone and Ipad, just not thru MAIL.
The MobileMe IMAP server "mail.me.com" rejected the password for user "yanperdrau". This is the message that keep on coming every time I try to retrieve my email, the password is well inserted, and my settings are good.
Out of the blue my wifes mac mail password was asked and everytime it is rejectedI have searched but couldnt find anything online to assist in fixing this
I changed my password in iCloud & now Mail in Snow Leopard rejects the new one (including old ones I have used). All other products (iPad2, iPhone4 & iCloud) are fine. I restored using Time Machine, Backup & even reinstalled Snow Leopard using original DVD. Even deleted mobile me account in preferences then restored from older backup.

I've been troubleshooting this for over an hour now. My AOL account wont send msgs only receive them. Everytime i try to send i get the error below, i run a diagnostic and mail says it connects with the server fine but sending messages is a no go area.
I've quadruple checked the settings and they seem fine.
Is there a way to have a different mail password instead of using the one that you use to login to Lion directly? Currently the two are the same login password = mail password.I'd like to have a different password for the two.Is this possible whether via command line or otherwise?

Woke up this morning, flipped open my MBP, and I see an Error Message that says that the Certificate is Invalid for SMTP Mail server. I looked, but it says it doesn't expire until 2014. So why does this message happen and what does it mean? I quit Mail, and then Restarted anyways to see what happens and all seems to be OK. But what does it mean and where does this message generate itself?
I can't add a new outgoing smtp server in Mail preferences. I keep getting this message: "The servers marked with alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved. Two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings. Resolve the conflicts and try again." The incoming and outgoing server addresses for this ISP are the same, which may be the problem. Both are mail.myglnc.com.
For some unknown reason my mail program is just now asking for a password when I attempt to send an email. I verified the password with my ISP. When I go to the Mail program/Preferences/Accounts I see a screen that has three sections. The third section offers "Outgoing mail server (SMTP)" but offers no box allowing a server number such as 587... Why is that option missing? What is likely causing this sudden request for a password?
Can I set up my Mail account to use an out going SMTP server other than .me? I want to use my .me (iCloud) account for incoming mail but want another server for my out going mail. (The reason is a need to keep an existing From: address rather than be required to use "User@me.com".)
Trying to send mail and it just keeps going into outbox and says "Cannot send message using the server smtp.virginmedia.com (offline)" . I got on to virgin who excessed my Mac remotely and could not find anything.The same on my other Mac running 10.6 and a mate up the road also running 10.6
Okay I have looked around and the only thing I can find to fixes this is get another mail client. Looks like it's another Apple thing
