field of password missing Mac mail

Mac mail, accounts, lack of field of password for all IMAP e-mail accounts. I've updated the Yahoo password online, how to change password in mac mail?

Hey djb72563,

I understand that you have recently changed the password for your Yahoo account and need to update. To do this, go to System Preferences > Internet accounts. This will allow you to change this information, and it will update this Mail and other applications that use this account. Take a look at the article below for more information. If this is not your version of Mac OS X, it will still work with previous versions of these past and even OS X El Capitan.

  • Mac Mail continues to request password Hotmail account

    Recently my Mac Mail were continually asked my hotmail account password. When I enter it I get a message that it cannot verify the user and the password. The pop3 account was changed to popmail.outlook.com on the Mac. Worked until about 2 weeks ago.

    I was not able to put in place than others, IMAP or Exchange Outlook. If you try to use "Other E-mail", it may not always check the password. It still works on the iphone 4, so I know that the password is fine. I can access in the browser if the account is fine too.

    I deleted VPN and firewall but no luck. I deleted all the old password Keychain for 'hotmail' and 'live', just in case.

    I don't want to lose all of my old emails that they are located in several folders work with other emails from other servers... Can't risk to delete and re-add this account. I have years of important emails. I realize I could use time machine to retrieve messages, but it is painful and slow.

  • Mac Mail did not request a new password after changing the outside

    Hello world

    I recently changed my password of gmail on their web site after "suspicious activity" had been detected. But Mac Mail does not work. Still able to send and receive emails and it asks me to enter a new password.

    How is that possible? Any ideas?

    If you have enabled the validation in 2 steps, you generated a password specific to the application in your Google Mail account and it is entered instead of the login password you use on the Web site.

  • My iPhone (and Mac) has recently started inviting me to enter my password of e-mail occasionally, even when my password has not changed.

    My iPhone (and Mac) has recently started inviting me to enter my password of e-mail occasionally, even when my password has not changed. I always receive my email if I do not reintroduce.  I sometimes take the message pop up on the home screen.  It happens about once a week lately.  I'm a little worried that so often on my iPhone.  The same thing happens to my Mac too, but less frequently.  I noticed that this happens for Gmail, email from work (Exchange) and iCloud, but not all other accounts.  Potential virus?

    Not necessarily

    When the mail (especially sent) is rejected by the server - for some reason - server busy or too large attachment or even unstable connection - the first step is to ask for authentication

    I would see if there is a model in terms of contacts or attachments that you can discern

  • Why do we need to double enter our password by e-mail?

    TO THE ADMIN, PLS ADDRESS THIS IPHONE + IPAD

    Is it just me or someone else has noticed that when you change your password of e-mail on an iphone (I have an iphone6 +) or an ipad (I have a mini ipad3), you must update in two places?

    > > SETTINGS > > MAIL, CONTACTS, CALENDARS > > ACCOUNT > >SERVER of MAIL ENTERING> > PASSWORD

    AND

    > > SETTINGS > > MAIL, CONTACTS, CALENDARS > > ACCOUNT > >SERVER of OUTGOING MAIL> > SMTP > > SERVER PRINCIPAL > >SERVER of OUTGOING MAIL> > PASSWORD

    This might be different by user according to this email account you hace (outlook, gmail, yahoo, aol, mail.com, etc.)

    In my example I happen to use an e-mail account.

    So, if this "bug" is, why Apple not default settings so that you just need to update once in a single field, which then applies to OUTGOING and INCOMING MAIL SERVERS? Or have a checkbox indicating "Please apply password for entrants and mail servers outgoing" which is checked by default. If some people (which I think would be a very small minority) need configure different passwords for each, they should still be able to do so as the two fields are available at the entrance.

    As said, it's different servers, the incoming (pop3) and the outgoing (smtp) server that may have different passwords. It's also in the mail from MAC, there are two fields for pop accounts

  • Problems using Mac Mail with Hotmail address

    I had ZERO problems with Mail and my Hotmail e-mail address for years until Sunday evening. I thought that maybe the Hotmail servers are down and cannot send e-mail that he requested my password, but it says that it was not correct. (but it was) Today I open mail and get the same message and my iPhone was not able to receive mail. After deleting and adding the Hotmail account on my iPhone, it works and receiving mail. On my Mac, it's another story. I removed it without any problems, but when I went back to add an account, it says the account already exists. My Hotmail account is not listed in my internet accounts and not showing is not on my mail. I tried setting up with a fake account and manually enter server information and it STILL says that the account already exists. Is it possible for me to again access my Hotmail on my Mac mail? Thank you!

    After digging around some more to the forums I found my resolution. I had to remove my iCloud account (which uses my hotmail email address) then add my Hotmail email, then add my iCloud account again.

  • Cannot update password Gmail in Mail

    I've updated the password of my Google account, and now Mail cannot connect to my Gmail account, which it has been connected successfully to until this change.   But the accounts, or in the System Prefs Panel, doesn't have a place to enter the password updated?   Any ideas?

    OSX

    I'm having a very similar problem. I use the latest version of OS X El Capitan (10.11.3) and Apple Mail Version 9.2 (3112). Today, I decided to turn on audit on my Google account 2-step. After him, the lightning bolt symbol displayed next to the mailbox gmail in Apple Mail. It was expected since I had not yet implemented a password App for use with validation in 2 steps. I set up the App password and received a new password to enter in Apple Mail. Contrary to the instructions, there is no place to put a password in Apple Mail, under Mail > Preferences > 'my Gmail account. I turned off since 2-stage of verification, but the lightning bolt symbol always next to the mailbox (and I'm no longer mail).

    NOTE: My gmail in Mail account was fine before allowing them to work and then turn off the 2 steps of verification. I have never changed my gmail password in Mail and my gmail password still works by connecting to gmail in Safari.

    I tried recording on my Mac several times and restart the job, but the symbol is still not go far. As well as the lightning bolt symbol, in the upper right corner of the Mail window there is an error 'failed to connect '. I find it very interesting that I have no popups invites me to the account (couldn't connect/enter password/etc).

    In Mail, I opened the window > connection doctor and there are red circles next to gmail has IMAP and SMTP, account types which indicates that these account could not connect. The following error message is listed next to each account: "try to connect to the IMAP/SMTP account failed. Verify that the user name and password are correct. "I clicked on"Check again"and has not changed.

    I also checked to see if I could enter my password under Internet accounts system preferences > 'My Gmail account' but there is no place for a password.

    Ready to everything to solve this problem, I've referenced this threadand then open Keychain and remove passwords imap and smtp for gmail account, thinking that I would be invited my password when I tried to put the account in the mail online. However, everything remains the same. I searched Google and can't seem to find a thread that deals with what it is about that.

  • How can I sync my iPhone with my mac mail

    iPhone 6s (iOS 9.3.4), McBook Air (El Capitan 10.11.6)

    How can I sync my iPhone with my mac mail without using iCloud?

    I use several 'GMX' and 'Web' of e-mail accounts.

    When I send email from my iPhone, they are only saved on it, but neither on the (GMX / Web) server or on my Mac.

    For e-mail accounts to synchronize between devices, they must be configured as IMAP accounts. POP protocol doesn't have this capability.

  • How UNSYNC Mac Mail and Gmail, so the messages are only 'read' on each device?

    Hello

    I use Mac Mail and Gmail with my own domain through Google Apps.

    My account managers have personal emails (IE [email protected] & [email protected]) and they also have an email that they all use two ([email protected]) which is set up on both of their computers for if someone is sick, they know what the other is working on.

    The problem is that when one of them reads an email on the "[email protected] email, mark it as read on the enamel of the other person too.» Is there some way to do so a new message arrives and he scored only as read email when each person reads it?

    Thanks in advance.

    I don't think so. Google apps uses IMAP or ActiveSync, which are intended to reflect all changes across the mailbox is used. Looks like you're after more than one distribution from the list which will copy the email in each personal users box, as a list of all the staff, but as you have several accounts, which could become confusing.

    It might be worth looking at login via POP - if Google allows. POP basically just download all will send them on the sync server and custom changes (providing check you what are the options in the account settings). It is not guaranteed that POP is not generally pushed, so will check every 5 min or so - and if someone read and email deleted at this time, it will not download a copy.

    Alternative would be to set up rules that transmits an entrant copy each users mailbox and that filter in a subfolder, but this all duplicate and the habit of thinking whats been answered or deleted in the source mailbox.

    I hope that makes sense...
