Password in mail will not work

I have been using mail successfully. Today it is asking for a password to work. No mail is coming in. I enter the Password I know to be correct but mail says it cannot verify that password. I checked in keychain and safari both showing the password I entered.


What to do?

iMac 27″, macOS 11.6

Suggest log into the Webmail interface of the Mail Server and test if the know password works.


If not - contact them for changes they may have executed and may not have alerted you the Client


If password work - still check with them as they may have started using Application Specific Password .requirements much like Apple has done for Non Apple Native e-mail clients accessing iCloud Mail
