SInce I installed the Security Update yesterday on my iMac running SL the Apple Mail app won't accept my password for .me account. I've tried deleting the account and recreating it but it still says the login name or password is incorrect.
On my MBP running ML it works just fine.

Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.

If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:
Klaus,
Thanks for the info.
I checked and only have 1 copy of Mail.app.
Just reinstalled the latest Security Update. Still getting the message that my login info is incorrect.
Will try the Combo update later.
Just tried setting up my mobileme email on a friends iMac running SL that was updated with the Security Update. Same problem.
