Edison Email App - Unable to connect

After multiple attempts, I am no longer allowed to try and get the email client to connect to apples servers. It connects on my phone but my MacBook Pro is denied. Is there a way to reset the security for the MacBook Pro to connect my email client? The error is below. It seems that I attempted to connect to many times and it is blocked. I attempted to delete the account and sign in multiple times to reset settings. I believe this is why the app is blocked.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.5

We're glad you had the chance to review that article, Transparentmedia.


Based on the error message you're seeing; the next step would be to reach out to your email provider since it's indicating they blocked the account.


In the title of your post, you reference the Edison Mail app. If you're using a third-party application, you may find application specific troubleshooting helpful in reaching a resolution. Those steps are outlined below and can be found in the following article. Completing these steps may resolve the issue before needing to contact the email provider.


  • "If an app doesn’t quit as expected, or it’s unresponsive, you can force quit the app (you may lose unsaved changes). Choose Apple menu  > Force Quit, select the app in the dialog that appears, then click Force Quit.
  • If the app quit, reopen it by clicking Reopen in the dialog that appears.
  • Restart your Mac by choosing Apple menu > Restart.
  • Make sure the app is compatible with your version of macOS.
  • Open another file in the app. There may be a problem with the original file.
  • Check for updates to your software.
  • Disconnect any peripheral devices you just connected (for example, a printer). They may not be compatible with your version of macOS.
  • Uninstall any app plug-ins or enhancements from other manufacturers. If you recently updated the app or macOS, a plug-in or enhancement you installed may no longer be compatible.
  • Diagnose problems with your Mac to learn whether hardware you installed, such as additional memory, is incompatible, improperly installed, or defective."

I checked the article, it doesn’t give any information that helped. I have tried assigning a different app specific password and putting it in through the email client, to no avail. It worked before uninstalling and reinstalling. It seems to be a security issue on the iCloud side. It seems it is not allowing the client to connect due to the multiple attempts so close together.
