Mailbox App Access Revoked

Hello.

I have the same problem. I have been using the Mailbox app (on my iPhone 5) for quite some time without problems. The same day as you I had the message that authorization failed within the Mailbox app.

I still could receive mails via the Mail application on my MacBook Air, but when I logged in to icloud.com I got asked to change my password (no real information why). I thought that my account maybe had been compromised. So I changed my password. Then I retried the Mailbox app, but it still doesn't let me sign in.

I will also post this question to the guys over at Mailbox. Maybe they should solve this as it really seems to be a problem with the app, and not necessarily with Apple, but the fact that I was asked to change my password was still quite intriguing.

Hopefully somebody can give further insight.

Thanks!

Hello.

Did you find a solution? I still have the same problem and it's really bugging me.

Thank you very much.

Hi.

I encountered the same problem.

I fixed by deleting the account on the mailbox app and recreating the same account on the app, and I started receving all the previous emails.

But after a few hours I received the same "Authorization revoked" banner on the Mailbox app, and now I can't receive emails anymore on the app.

I also noticed that the app UI all turned grey. Did it happen to you as well?

Thank you.

Ps: I use an iPhone 5s 16gb with iOS 7.0.4

I had this problem also. I contacted Mailbox App (Dropbox) and they did not really have an answer.

Try going into you iCloud on the web and then manage your account. I found out that my password for iCloud had expired and had to choose a new password. Changed it and it now works in Mailbox.

It may seem that iCloud will accept your old password but doesn't alert you that the password had expire unless you go into and manage you iCloud account.

Hope that helps.

I had the same problem with the expired password, but even after modifying my password, the problem with the mailbox app stayed.

I recently encountered this problem and have just fixed it for my account.

My apple ID is not an apple email address which is what seemed to be causing the problem.

So in Mailbox I added my iCloud account by using one of my iCloud email addresses and my Apple password - and it works!

Hope this helps.

I had the same thing happening to my Mailbox app all of the sudden and then I remembered an email I got from Apple a week or so ago about needing to generate app-specific passwords after a certain date. I clicked on over to https://appleid.apple.com/ and signed in with my credentials ("Manage your Apple ID" button). Navigate to "Password and Security" and select "Generate an app-specific password." Give it a nickname (i.e. Mailbox) and a password should appear on your screen. Go to your device(s) and sign in to the Mailbox app with your email address (i.e. johnny_appleseed@me.com) and the new password and, presto, you're in business.

Hope this helps.

This is the solution!

I didn't see an email from apple about this so thank you very much for pointing this out.
