Suddenly my email is requesting my password but will not accept it

My email asks for password but says it cannot verify name or account. I've been on the phone with Century Link two days in a row. They say my account and password is correct and this is a Apple/MAC issue in my mail app setup. Can anyone help?

Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to use your email account on your Mac, even after contacting the account provider.
