After updating to El Capitan on MacPro Mid 2012 (8G 750G drive), Mail keeps asking me for the password to some of my accounts. I've checked the password, starting with the POP provider. Passwords are correct at that end. Re-entering them does no good in Mail, or in the 'Internet Accounts' system panel.

If you’re getting cannot send mail errors only when trying to send mail or connect to your emails SMTP server, the solution is probably the same as when Mail repeatedly asks for a password, you simply need to re-authenticate and provide the SMTP server your login and password as set in the mail preferences.

Sim­ply putting the pass­word in here and click­ing the save but­ton got every­thing work­ing prop­er­ly again.
  • Open the Apple Mail application by clicking Mail in the top menu bar. (Outgoing) settings in El Capitan. Open the Apple Mail application by clicking Mail in the top menu bar. Select the Preferences option. Make sure 'Password' is selected in the 'Authentication' drop-down. Internal links.

After you or your Mac administrator resets the password of your macOS user account, your Mac might ask you to update your keychain password or enter the password of your login keychain. It might also tell you that the system was unable to unlock your login keychain. That's because your login keychain is still using your old password.

If you don't know your old password, the solution is to create a new login keychain.
