How do I change password for my mac mail
iMac, OS X 10.11
The Mac mail password is the same as that for iCloud, which is an Apple ID. So changing it will affect everything using that ID.
1. Before doing anything, turn off 'Find my iPhone/iPad/Mac' on any devices it's enabled on.
2. Sign out of iCloud on all your devices. On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'. On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server) or Sign out' as applicable. Your iCloud-synced data will disappear from your device. If offered the opportunity to save it on your Mac, don't.
3. Go to http://appleid.apple.com, sign in and click 'Password & Security' in the sidebar. Answer the security questions, if set, and then click 'Edit' next to the password field. Save.
4. Sign back in on all your devices. Your data will re-appear (give it time). You can now re-enable 'Find My...'.
5. I reiterate, before you start, turn off 'Find My...' or you will need the services of Support.
