Mojave Apple Mail won't access AT&T Mail I recently obtained a refurbished Mac Min (mid 2018). I am unable to add my att.net mail account. The passwords us accepted when I log in from the Web site or pm iPhone of mu Ipad but I can longer get apple mail to work with Att.net. Seems to me like too much effort on fluff by apple and and not enough on core functions. I have also tried theri OAauthand secure password system. The ultimate in security ...no access

New password in Apple Mail preventing outgoing email I hope someone can help resolve a frustrating issue that I am encountering in Apple Mail. I have changed my password in 2 email accounts and updated all my associated devices. I now discover that I am unable to send email from 1 of these accounts on my Mac running macOS Monterey 12.6.2 although I can send email from this account from all my other iOS devices. Bizarre. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Was it used in Mail previously? If so, delete any entries for the account in Keychain Access.
