The SMTP server “smtp.me.com” rejected the password for user “phinvest”
my mail server rejects my password on the mail application ever since I moved to I cloud. However, I can get my mail in i cloud, but not in my mail app
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.6)
Hello,
Yes they changed the Servers, both in & out, and it's IMAP only now, so you can try editing them if already IMAP, or...
Do not delete the old account yet.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
•Server name: imap.mail.me.com
•SSL Required: Yes
•Port: 993
•Username: example@me.com (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
•Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
•Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
•SSL Required: Yes
•Port: 587
•SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
•Username: example@me.com (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
•Password: Your iCloud password
Did you get it working yet?
I have the same problem even reset my password and still no go. I've had this problem since 4/4. Odly I set up mail on Ubuntu and it works just fine, but it's a PC. My two mac have the same problem with IMAP.
I see alot
