Hi. Thanks for this. I have followed these instructions, found the password, entered it - and it was rejected. Again and again!
It was a Skymarket account, which then got merged with easyspace, and is now in my easyspace control panel. But the password which has always worked is being rejected by smtp iomartmail. com Also, in the keychain / passwords, I have found lots of passwords from accounts such as virgin mail which I left in 2006. Do I just delete all old and redundant passwords? Or will this cause trouble of other sorts??!!
