Q: Apple Mail keeps asking for password and will not accept it.

My iMac mail keeps asking for the password for one of my email addresses.

 

The address is .............@hotmail.co.uk, when I enter the password it does not recognise it and declares it invalid.

 

Moments later mail is delivered.

 

A month ago I had the same problem that escalated to no mail arriving. I tried many things and in the end set up a new internet/mail account in preferences. So, after removing the old settings and reinserting them it worked, until today.

 

I have 2 other email addresses that are not affected by this bug.

 

This has only happened since I changed to El Capitan.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)
