Cannot deny Keychain access in Mail application anymore

in Lion when i first steup my Mail account and it asked to enter my mail password, the dialog asking for the Keychain password had a button "deny", so that the Mail application wont use the Keychain.
Now in Mountain Lion i dont have the deny Button anymore, and the dialog keeps poping up all the time cause Mail wants to store my mail password to the Keychain. But i dont want that!!! I could'nt find any way to prevent Mail from using the Keychain. Can anyone help me here?
Thanks

I am having issues with Keychains since the upgrade. Drives me crazy, as it randomly asks if it can have access to my calendars.
Keep selecting Deny every 10 minutes twice in a row. Interesting thing is I haven't even launched calendars, and haven't even sinced any device to this computer.
Really makes me cranky.
Also, this assistantd also drives me crazy. Mountain Lion so far brought me only nuisance.

Home folder stopping me from opening the mail application

Ok this may sound stupid, but what and where is the home folder so tht I can delete documents in it to access the mail application?

Your Home Folder is the one with the icon of a little house, and carries your username. It's in the Dock: its actual location is (hard disk)>Users><username). It contains your Documents, preferences, mail, everything personal to you. However 'delete documents in it to access the mail application' doesn't make any sense. The Mail application is in the Applications Folder. What happens when you double-click on it? Do you get an error message? Does it open?

Recently I have been unable to access our Comcast Xfinity E-mail application in Firefox. It opens but is "frozen" so that I am unable to open e-mail messages or the full inbox.

I have been using Firefox instead of MS Explorer to access our Comcast E-mail account on my Lenova laptop for several months.
Firefox was loaded onto my Lenova Laptop during mid-2011.
I continued to primarily use MS Explorer as my search engine while accessing our Comcast e-mail account until the latter part of 2011. At that time I was urged to try Firefox when I seemed to have slow processing speed in Explorer.
It worked great, and I was very pleased with the processing speed while using my e-mail application (seemed much faster than MS Explorer).
A couple weeks ago I first discovered I could not open any of the listed e-mails in the Comcast Inbox, nor am I able to expand to a full view of the inbox instead of the summary view of only the few latest new message titles. New incoming e-mails appear in the listing, but I am unable to open them from my laptop.
I have no problem with our Comcast E-mail application while using MS Explorer on my laptop (except for slower processing speed).
We also can access all Comcast e-mail functions from our Dell desktop in both Firefox and Explorer; therefore the cause of the problem doesn't appear to be Comcast.
Any suggestions on what caused this problem and how to fix it? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Old but new Q: Cannot send email from Mac Mail application but computer tells me I'm online

I know this is an "old" issue for many, but I cannot find the solution to my problem.
A couple of months ago I moved to a new flat--suddenly I could not send emails anymore from my Mac Mail app, although I could receive them. I called Comcast, my Internet provider, who said it was my email server's problem. My email server is icloud, so I talked to a Mac tech guy who did remote desktop troubleshooting and said everything was set up correctly, etc., so I will have to talk to Comcast again. I called Comcast again and they told me again, it is not their issue.
So this is what happens: When I try to send an email, I get the spinning circle in the mailbox bar, and then it tells me after five minutes of spinning that icloud is offline. However, when I do a further check of the diagnostics, the light is green and says that yes, in fact I am connected/online. Note: I can send and receive fine on webmail, but I do not want to keep using webmail at home. It is very inconvenient.
I called Mac support again, and they told me I should find my solution online; otherwise, I can pay $20 to have someone remotely troubleshoot for me. Of course, I could not find the answer online. I am quite frustrated and annoyed at this point. Is it a port issue? Is it an OS issue? Mind you, I only have this problem at home, nowhere else. I take my laptop to a café, to a friend's place--I can send emails just fine. This leads me to believe that it's a Comcast issue, although they deny it.
Any thoughts would be deeply, deeply appreciated! Thank you!!

How about some free much-needed advice on how I can
start receiving emails again!
This indicates you were able to receive email with
your Verizon account previously with the Mail.app?
If so, try running Keychain First Aid on your login
Keychain.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151548
Open Keychain Access, located in
Applications/Utilities.
Choose Window > Keychain First Aid.
Select your login Keychain, enter your password,
select Repair and then Start.
This is Trevor from the first post and I figured it out:
Go into mail - preferences - and delete the email account in question - the window will tell you that you'll lose all your saved mail, etc - you can save it if you like.
Then click on yes and you create a new mail account using your same incoming/outgoing settings. And, like magic, it works!
Try it - and if you want to save any mail before deleting your affected account, do it.
All the best!

TS1506 I have a problem opening some email attachments. They will not open in the mail application on an IPad Air

I recently upgraded from an iPad 1 to an Air. One of its main uses is to avoid printing volumes of papers for meetings, so the abilty to open attachments with mail is pretty important.
There are some attachments that will not open in the mail application on an iPad Air. Some in the same format do (docx). They do open in Mail on my MacBook, and iPad1, or if I go to webmail on any device including a Blackberry, so it is not a file corruption problem. The problem persists on different networks. Other emails from the same sender do work. It seems to be specifically related to IOS 7 or the Mail app. Quickview won't work, nor will opening with a range of Apps which report a file error.
There was an historical problem with Apple garbling pdf files, but this is a new one on me.
All this is a shame because it is opening emails in attachments that was one of my main reasons for buying an Air.
Does anyone know of the cause? A solution?

What about a work-around?
Ios 7.1 etc. has a problem with communicating with exchange. There are lots of reports of problems with pdf files.

My Mail application is rejecting my password even though I'm putting it in correctly. Mail is working fine on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac so it must be something to do with the Mail settings on my desktop. My software is up to date. Can you help?

I have an iMac, operating system 10.7.4 with up to date software. My mail application is rejecting my password even though I know I am putting it in correctly. I have an ipad and iphone and the mail application is working fine on them. On my desktop however I cannot receive or send mail. I think it must be something to do with the settings but cannot work out what. I have contacted BT who provides my email and internet. As I have another email address with them that is working correctly they believe it is a problem with mail rather than with them. Please can you help?

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.

After activatin iCloud, my dotMac account wouldn't retrieve mail anymore. It kept saying that my username or password were not good. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn't restore the service.
Here's how I got it working again.
Apparently my 6 letter password is no longer acceptable. You need to update it to an 8 letter password that includes numbers and capital letters.
So I went to https://iforgot.apple.com and asked to reset my password.
Because I could still get my emails logging into iCloud with Safari, I responded to Apple's email, and created a stronger password.
Than I updated the passwords on my computer's Mail program, iPhone, and iPad (and of course everything else, iTunes, etc.).
That was it!
Everything works as normal again, I even was finally able to synchronize calendars over different computers again.
Try it out, it could be your issue as well.

The mail application on my I-Mac dates all mail, whether sent or received, as 5th (of whatever month it is). The computer clock is working, so it's not that. And the time seems to be right. I have no problem with my MacBook. Can anyone help, please?

Adobe Flash Player, version 10.1.102.64 installed, but I cannot access FP dependent applications

Adobe Flash Player, version 10.1.102.64 is installed, but I cannot access FP dependent applications (such as those on Facebook.)
I used the link you previously provided http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
to download the FP .exe and it worked for 2 days, but is no longer working and I'm getting the same message for both Mozilla & IE. The only things I recall doing prior to FP not working again was 1) sign up for G Mail & 2) I used Save As to dwld a number of Images from Google. I also rolled back my PC a day, but that has not fixed the issue. I get the error both in IE & Mozilla.
I've reviewed HK Local Machine/Software/Adobe, but there is no file folder for Flash Player under HK HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Adobe {though there are folders for Shockwave, etc.) Does anyone know the KEYS for Flash Player, that I could add manually?
System Information:
Win XP Home, SP 2
IE 8.0.6001.18702
Mozilla 3.6.12
Flash Player 10.1.102.64
Thanks for any & all help!

Can you see the Flash animation at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?

Do you know that XP SP2 is no longer a supported OS?

My mail application doesn't show e-mails in a timely manner. They show up hours after they are sent. Any idea what I can do?

When I click on the stamp to get my e-mails, some of them come up but not all of them. I can open a window and log into aol and see that
it shows I have a lot more e-mails that don't appear in my mail application. Also, some e-mails disappear before I have a chance to open
them. I don't know what's going on. If I close out my mail application and re-open it, they reappear. Does anyone know how to help me?

All email recipients are stored in a list of previous recipients that is used for the autofill feature when addressing a message in addition to the address book. The Mail.app on a Mac includes the same along with an option to access the list of previous recipients. You can add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered, or remove a previous recipient from the list.
Access to the list of previous recipients with the iPhone's mail client is not available - at the present time anyway.
If you restored your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, this data is included with your iPhone's backup.
To get rid of what is currently in the list of previous recipients at the present time requires restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. Relatively big price to pay regarding something that shouldn't be extremely difficult to ignore - at least until access to the list of previous recipients is supported.

Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.

If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:

Trying to access e-mail from my phone

I don't know what's been done recently with Verizon's remote websites, but it needs to be undone. Until very recently, I was able to check my e-mail by pulling up webmail.verizon.com on my phone's browser and signing in just as I would from a computer. Now, if I try that, it automatically redirects to m.verizon.com/PAMMobile/presignin.aspx, which tells me to "Please wait while we load your offers" AND NEVER MOVES AGAIN.
I've tried calling Verizon about this and gotten nowhere. The first time it happened, I spent literally an hour searching around the site (from my desktop computer) trying without success to find some way to report this.
When it happened again today, I decided to leave the browser open on the phone while I signed onto my computer and tried to find a way to report this (Oh, good, I have to pick a User ID for the forums now, what fun--and it can't be the one I already HAVE to access the site. Delightful.). The page has now been asking me to wait while it loads my offers for 25 minutes.
I don't WANT to wait while it loads whatever those offers are, I WANT TO ACCESS MY E-MAIL. When I'm trying to access it on my phone, it's because I'm either away from a computer or don't want the distractions that come with being online. I JUST WANT TO READ MY E-MAIL!
FIX THIS. FIX IT NOW.

The problem isn't with accessing my e-mail from a computer--webmail.verizon.net works just fine from my desktop at work, and I imagine it would work fine from my desktop at home as well. The problem is that when I try to access webmail.verizon.net from my (non-Verizon, 3G) phone, I get sent to this pre-signin page that instantly freezes. After I made my initial post (from my desktop computer), I left the phone on that page while I did other things on the computer and when I checked it again it was still "loading my offers" after TWO HOURS.
That is why in #2 I made the suggestion to use the email client built into your phone, assuming it has one, and I think pretty much every smart phone has an email client. You may have some perfectly valid reason for wanting to use a browser, but I don't understand it at this point.

I agree with Justin.
In regards to using the Email client in your phone. Mine is ATT 3G Iphone 4. When the iPhone client pulls up the Email, it acts almost like IMAP, where if the message is large, it only partially downloads so you can see what it is, and then it provides the option to download the rest. Which helps with your usage if you are concerned with your monthly usage. Not sure of your phone type. The webmail on the phone will more than likely consume much more of your monthly allotment. Just be sure to set the client to leave messages on the server. This way they will still be available for your mail client at home, or webmail at a later date.
If your phone does not have a mail app, depending on the OS, I would try to download one if possible. Anything web related on the phone will use more bandwidth to pull in the graphics. Save your bandwidth and use a mail application, where the mail system graphics reside on your phone.
