Can't verify account name or password

Good day, trying to re-add Mail account but get continuously the above

message. I have checked and confirmed passwords etc. and everything

works on other apple products. all the suggestions I see relate to an

existing mail account however i had removed my mail account with the

idea to re-install it. But cannot. The key chain does not contain any saved passwords for my email address.

My emailprovider is:

I can access this email account successfully using a web browser or with another device using these same login credentials, no 2FA.

Hi henny128,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Wondering which Mac OS version you are using,

what

method you are using to re-add the eMail account.


Eg: Try following the steps in this article from Apple Support.

Add an email account to Mail on your Mac - Apple Support


And, for troubleshooting:


NB: Choose you MacOS version at the top of the articles for accurate info:


If Mail on your Mac can’t connect to your email account – Apple Support


If Mail on your Mac keeps asking for your password – Apple Support


All the best :-)
