ALWAYS asks for Password for each account... I've tried most everything..?

Good day.
At least several times a day my apple mail asks me to enter the p/w for each account. This on both machines.
I've tried many times to:
Click the "Save my password in Keychains"
In prefs I've "entered my password on each account and saved"
(That always disapears, each time I go back)
Can you please help with suggestions?
Thank you much.

Can you see the login items in Keychain Access (in /Applications/Utilities) and verify that their passwords are set correctly?
If you navigate into your Library/Preferences folder and select com.apple.mail.plist and do a Get Info, are your permissions set to Read & Write (and Everyone else's permissions set to No Access)?

  • Cannot setup email account always asking for password

    Just got the IPad3 and setting up my email account.  I tried setting it up the same way as my IPhone.  Had  the email account and password entered but when I exit, it gives me a message saying that it may not be able to send or received mail.  I don't know what else is missing from the setup. 
    When I try to open my email, it always asks for the password, entered the password again but does not open my email.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????

    There is only one thing that happens -- the Server does not respond.
    Your mac concludes that you must have entered the wrong password. That may happen once, but then other issues become more likely, and it keeps asking for a new password.
    Sometimes the Server is down for maintenance. Sometimes something is configured wrong. Some services do this on purpose to get you to use WebMail (pick up your Mail with your Browser) so they can show you some ads.

  • Why does Intel version always ask for my password when adding loops?

    When I add loops to the PPC version, it never asks for my password. I want this behavior on the Intel version. Always asking for my password’s really annoying. Thanks very much. Peace.

    Being able to to access, install and change anything on your computer with a simple keystroke is just not a good thing security wise. Maybe you don't download from unknown sources, use a wifi network, use public or work networks, IM, let others use your computer or let OS and software get out of date. But people reading this may not be in your situation. Most password hacking tools will start with single keystrokes and no password will gain access in a fraction of a second.

  • ITunes Music Store always asking for password

    I upgraded to iTunes 9, and now every time I open it, it asks for my account password. At first, it would say my password wasn't entered correctly. After several instances of that, I logged out of the store and then back in. It still asks for my password every time now, but the message doesn't indicate anything is wrong. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    I don't know if this is exactly what's happening to you, but it may be:
    Apparently iTunes 9 sets cookies on your computer, and uses Safari to store them. So if you don't have cookies enabled in Safari (and you don't have any old iTunes cookies saved there), you can't sign in to the second level of the store (viewing your account or buying anything). If that's the case, set Safari to accept cookies and it should work (it did for me). It's possible (I've heard) that the latest version (4.0.3) of Safari is needed, but I'm not sure about that.
    This is amazing to me - if you have cookies enabled, but SAFARI IS NOT OPEN, iTunes will still put cookies in Safari.
    Note that this is on a Mac - on Windows it may use a different browser.

  • Finder always asks for password in Documents

    When I try to make a new document, to save something or to edit something in my \Documents folder, Finder always asks for a password.
    Saving in another program to the Documents folder isn't possible because the program can't write to the folder and just says ACCESS DENIED (Final Cut Express).
    I checked the permissions of the Documents folder and it says User (me) Read and write and everyone (No access). What should I do to make my Documents folder somewhat more accessable?

    mve87 wrote:
    Odd, but it worked. Thanks! The folder now behaves as it used to.
    But nothing changed in the Permissions, which I think is odd.
    Shouldn't Apple make a easier way to do this?
    ah, yes, that's a good point, oft discussed on this forum. the problem is that there are a lot of ACLs like those "everyone deny delete" ones that were preventing you from modifying items in Documents that are completely invisible from GUI. as a result you look at the permissions panel and think that everything is normal when in fact there may be a number of ACLs present. this is a terrible design decision by Apple. one can only hope it will be addressed in future versions of OS X.

  • My computer is always asking for passwords

    When I turn on my Mac it´s always asking for my iCloud and Keychain password. I don´t know what is happening, even if I introduce my password it will ask me again...

    Have you changed your password lately? If so, you should reset your keychain.

  • Device always asking for apple password b4 downloading apps

    my device is always asking for apple store password even though I'm supposedly signed on. Is that normal?

    That is normal, because it doesn't want somebody that may have stolen your device to go using your money on apps you don't want.

  • Every time I launch itunes it always asks for password

    Every time I launch iTunes it always asks for password. I have no pending downloads or app updates. Nothing. There is no downloads plist to delete, no preferences to set - Fed up wth this. Been searching for answer for months. iTunes Store help just gives the runaround.

    Good idea, thanks, but no, that didn't solve it. Any other thoughts?

  • CVS always asks for password

    Whenever I contact the CVS server (over at Sourceforge) JDev always asks for the password to the server. Is there a way I can make JDev store this password in some way?
    I use the CVS-executable in TortoiseCVS and also use the TortoisePlink executable as the ssh client. Everything works just perfect, it's just really annoying to have to type in my password for every little CVS activity.
    Any solutions?

    The user is in the best position to decide if there is a security issue with persisting the password in JDeveloper or not.
    I had this problem too. There is obviously a conflict in requirements of security vs usability so really, you should warn the user but let the user decide how to configure it and let him take responsibility.
    JDeveloper should interoperate with the user's environment, within reason, and not make him change it.
    Note, the HTTP proxy login has a similar problem. Not every time, but often when JDeveloper goes to the www it re-asks for the proxy password.
    I dont care if JDeveloper stores either password in the clear in its XML configuration files, as long as it remembers them. It can warn me but it should do it if I tell it to ignore the risk. Then I can get on with my development job rather than having to reconfigure my CVS server or www proxy which are not mine to reconfigure anyway.
    Cheers,
    Simon.

  • HT1277 Can't sync my icloud with mail... always ask for password

    Can't sync my icloud with mail... always ask for password

    You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
    Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
