mail password not recognized in Mail application

My Mail application kept asking for the password and did not recognized the correct password. I ended up deleting that account in mail, deleting that item in keychain, changed my password on the web and deleted my mail preferences I found. I then tried to add the account back and I get a message "Unable to verify account name or password." Any suggestions on what I can do?
