My Apple - UNKNOWN ERROR

[DannyBoy1951]

Hey, long time MW user. My wife began getting some nasty e-mails and for the first time ever, I began including her Apple e-mails with MW. Was unable to do so receiving the error message (in MW) UNKNOWN. Everything looked good after I created the account itself but upon creating the INCOMING settings that page (= incoming) shows the connection was successful but the event log is showing UNKNOWN ERROR.

I am using a Dell 'all-in-one' computer (the system is on the back side of the monitor) purchased just last year.

So I tried setting up MY Apple e-mails on MY computer and received precisely the same result: UNKNOWN ERROR.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
DannyBoy

Sorry DannyBoy, I missed your original post!

Yes, you'll need to enable app specific password settings on your account, (this is now a requirement from Apple)....

First, you have to enable two factor (NOT two step) authentication within your Apple ID:

https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT204915

Then, log into your apple account:

https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage

And under Security >> APP-SPECIFIC PASSWORDS, clicked, "Generate Password...."

And use that same password in MWpro using these settings:

Any problems, please let me know.
