Mail uses the password for your email account that is separate from your macOS user password. Have you tried logging into your email using your web portal to test if the password works there? Try resetting the email account password using your web portal.

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?
