Are you sure that the mail server password is the same as your login password…?

For namecheap it isn’t, no.
A good step to test any mail account is to connect it to mail.app, windows mail or similar.

sorry for posting on old post
I use Namecheap for my domains and have also subscribed to email service for respective domains.
Can i integrate Namecheap email service to work with Discourse instead of free Mailjet account?
