Unable to verify account name or password after updating to 10.15.5

This morning my MacBook updated to 10.15.5 and now it is unable to verify the account name or password for my ionos emails despite having the correct password.

Has anyone experienced this and if so, how have you solved it?

Many thanks,

Unable to verify account name or password I am having trouble creating an email account. New MacBook Air running Monterey 12.3. I have set up my 3 other emails without problems. The troublesome email is a go daddy account. I am positive the email name and password is correct as I can easily log on in web mail. I have tried everything including deleting and re-entering several times, advanced settings and ports, the enter password and "tab" approach to no avail. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Mail account not working - unable to verify account name or password I've been using my Mac for 10years and have successfully used Mail (aol.com) for that time - the odd occasion when there have been delays but nothing significant. Three days ago, I got the message above when I was asked to enter my account name & password. I have tried everything that I've seen suggested - where I've been able to - including setting up a new Mac User account - nothing works. I know my email account is fine as I can use it on my iPhone and web browser. The Mac support line won't help me anymore as they say my Mac is too old but the only problem I have is with my email - my Mac is fine otherwise! I am starting to doubt myself - perhaps in trying to solve it, have I tripped myself up? Any help would be very gratefully received!

And for no reason it started working again. I've no idea why but it's all fine now.

I have since talked to IONOS and they are insisting that the problem is with MacMail and not them as my password etc is all working as it should.
