Hi,
I've been frustrated with this question for the past week, and have posted the question on Apple Support forum, but no one seems to answer over there.
I have 3 email accounts at one place (OVH). Last week on one of our 2 macs, the accounts (IMAP) failed to connect with the message 'unable to verify account or password'
I think it happened at the same time as i updated the icloud password in Keychain by deleting the keychain folder. I had that annoying "local settings" pop-up continually. So that's what I read had to be done, something about keychain not having updated its password if i remember well. (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/153720/how-do-i-delete-or-fix-my-keycha in-after-changing-my-password - solution worked fine btw)
I think I have tried about everything:
- Compared email account settings between both computers
- Deleted the login in Keychain Access and resubmitted the password
- Re-entered the password in the email account settings...
The most frustrating of it all: 2 out of 3 accounts work fine after having deleted the login in keychain access. One still refuses to connect. As Murphy likes it, it's our main email address.
Any help really would be appreciated!
Thanks
Jonathan
