This time I was not going to rein­stall the OSX - I’d had this issue years ago and had solved it then but could not remem­ber what I did - just remem­bered it was sim­ple but not obvi­ous. On reboot­ing it I was back to square one when the OSX asked me to reen­ter my pass­word for Google ser­vices - I imme­di­ate­ly checked Mail and sure enough none of the accounts were con­nect­ing - same ​‘ Unable to ver­i­fy account name or pass­word’ issue yet again.

That was until I shut down the Mac a few days lat­er.

I was able to get emails and life was back to happy. Sev­er­al hours lat­er (rur­al broad­band…) I had the Mac back up and run­ning and all seemed to be ok. I got onto Apples very respon­sive and help­ful help desk, who in turn asked me to do safe restarts and oth­er things but noth­ing would change so they asked me to rein­stall High Sier­ra. I checked online web­mail for a cou­ple and the pass­word worked just great so it wasn’t that. How­ev­er, none of the pass­words would ver­i­fy. I have quite a few email accounts for dif­fer­ent side projects and luck­i­ly I have the pass­word all stored in 1password. When I opened Apple Mail all my email accounts failed to con­nect - all were ask­ing for the pass­word. I was not expect­ing this so didn’t have my 1Password avail­able on my iPhone to help gen­er­ate a new one so I mud­dled through and thought I would change that again lat­er.

Dur­ing the install a new secu­ri­ty check came up - appar­ent­ly, you can­not have the same pass­word for your Mac log-in and your iCloud log-in. Recent­ly I upgrad­ed to High Sier­ra - the Apple OSX released in August 2017 and all appeared to go well with the upgrade - it cer­tain­ly looks fresh. Changed your keychain password recently?
