Exchange Email through GoDaddy asking for password, deleting account, etc
I just bought a 2018 MacBook Pro (refirb, 15in, 2.9 i9, 32gbs RAM, 1T, running 10.14.2) and used migration assistant to transfer all of my files and presets. I added my two exchange emails that run through GoDaddy to internet accounts, they added to the Mail app and everything was great for about 15 minutes.
Since then - a week ago - both email accounts spur the request "Account Password Required." The notifications would happen anywhere from every 20 seconds to 30 minutes and have been happening consistently. Now it another issue has begun where one of the accounts which my contacts are attached to automatically deletes from the computer every time the password notification comes up, forcing me to set up the internet account all over again.
I've talked with 3 different Apple technicians, have a scheduled call with an engineer tomorrow, and have talked with GoDaddy. The team at GoDaddy do not understand why the issue is happening and Apple has had no answers.
I have already tried the following:
• Password entry in SafeBoot
• MacOS reinstallation
• Delete and reinstall internet accounts
• Change passwords
• Delete all exchange information from Keychain
• PRAM reset
• Unselect "Automatically check server connections" from both accounts under Mail preferences
A few other things worth noting:
• These accounts have worked flawlessly for years up until High Sierra.
• My previous MacBook Pro (late-2013) ran the accounts well up until updating to High Sierra a day ago. However, it is not deleting accounts or giving notifications nearly as often.
• The problem seems to intensify when internet connect is spotty or drops
• I've had some strange occurrences with the new computer - computer starting up when fully shut down by hitting shift of control keys, turning on as soon as opening from box without power button, hard drive not mounted, wifi dropping consistently (I have a poor network but my 2013 model disconnected far less)
At this point, with the regularity of the notification and account deletion, it's almost impossible to get any work done. Im almost at my end with this situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
