If you need to enter it into Mac Mail, then it would be under Mail>Preferences>Accounts>(select the account)>Server Settings

If Mail on your Mac keeps asking for your password

Mail might say that it can't connect to your email account, and repeatedly ask you to enter the password for it.

If your Mac is connected to the Internet but suddenly starts asking for your password, you should generally try again later, and if necessary work with your email provider to resolve. If you're using Apple's iCloud Mail, learn how to resolve issues with iCloud Mail.

Why is Mail asking for your password?

Mail asks for your password when it is connecting to your email provider, but can't connect to your email account because your email provider isn't accepting your email password.

Your email provider may reject your password for several reasons, including:

• You're not using your current email password. If you updated the password on another device, make sure that you're using the same password on your Mac.
• Your email provider needs you to update or reset your password for security reasons. For example, if you're using Google’s two-step verification, your Gmail account in Mail requires the appropriate app-specific password.
• Your email provider deactivated or suspended your account. Contact your email provider for help.
