Q: Mail keeps rejecting my password, v10.6.8

Hi All,

 

Im running 10.6.8.  Mail keeps rejecting my password for my ".me" account.  all other accounts are fine.

Any suggestions as I can go to the cloud with the very same password and see my emails fine.

    Try going to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access and delete the password there. While there, Keychain Access menu/First Aid.

     

    If you have 2 step verification for your Apple ID, then see the article below. While Mail isn't a 3rd party application, Snow Leopard Mail is treated as such. I had to see a separate password for my Snow Leopard partition.
