How do I use the verification code to generate a password for icloud server smtp.mail.me.com password
I've seen this happen from time to time. So you have both a Gmail and a .me/.mac/icloud (Apple) email address?

If so mail.app (or whatever you are using as a mail client) has gotten confused about what server to use for what account. This should be easy to fix.


Open mail.app and select Preferences from the Mail menu
Select the Accounts icon at the top of the preferences window
On the left is a list of your mail accounts. Select the first one
Now select Server settings and see what server is listed at the bottom under Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP).


The latter should correspond to the account you have selected. So if you selected your Gmail account your server should have gmail in the name and not me.com. If it does change it to the one in the menu for gmail.

Now if you are using Outlook for email that is similar but not exactly the same. I don't have Outlook set up for Gmail so I can't help you there.

If I have missed something let me know and we'll go from there.
