go to "internet accounts" under System Preferences, enter the new password,




no insight or resolve—

For problem accounts the go to way to sort things out is to delete the account, then add it back.

Note—

• IMAP accounts stay on the server, so no local loss, when you re-sync

• POP accounts download and remove from the server—therefor save your inbox/sent box if you want them

• "On My Mac" is just that, local folders you created and moved mail into. So no loss
