I did the update day before yesterday, and I have three mail

Generally, when mail asks you to enter your password, it's because
the server is unreachable, or for some reason, the server rejected
the password/username combination. This can happen for any number of
reasons, but usually, it's as simple as the server isn't reachable at
this time, and a simple retry solves the problem.
Sometimes, it's because the mail server authenticates over it's own
network, and although the server itself is working, perhaps another
part of it's network isn't, so it can't reach the server that does
the authenticating, and so cannot verify you're the person you're
claiming, because it can't talk with it's authorization verifier over
it's own internal network. You of course would have no way of
knowing that, and neither does mail, so when the mail server rejects
the login, it simply tells you the information is wrong. Perhaps not
the best approach, but it's certainly the simplest.
