Changing Mail and MobileMe Passwords

Hi all,
I tried to change my Mail password by going to Preferences and then Account Information, but now I understand that doesn't actually change the password - it just changes the password that Mail is using to try to log in to your mail server. How do I change the password on the server?
My account type is iCloud IMAP and my incoming mail server and outgoing mail server (SMTP) are p03-imap.mail.me.com and iCloud (iCloud) respectively.
Thank you

Thanks, I have changed my Apple ID password (i.e. my iCloud password). Does this mean even if someone gets into my account on my old job's Mac, they cannot just launch my Mail app by clicking on it and see all my emails, etc... Right?

Install Oracle Interconnect failed at changing Hub and wf passwords

We are evaluation Oracle interconnect now. I treid to install Oracle Interconnect and it failed at changing Hub and Wf password steps. What should I do? Can I manually change those two passwords?
Thank you for your help!

Are you using an infrastructure db with identity management? In that case from the infrastructure Oracle home type "oaidamin". In the tool you can find the encrypted passwords for ip and owf_mgr and change them.
If not, you can change them directly in the database. The schema names are oaihub902 and owf_mgr.

Lion Mail and iCloud Password

Alright, I've seen tons of threads all over forums for this, and no real solutions. And I'm wondering why:
Lion Apple Mail keeps asking me for my iCloud password almost every time I fire it up, or randomly when I've got it already open.
Why is that? I've tried deleting the password from the preferences/accounts and re-typing it several times. That didn't work. I've tried reparing the keychain with the keychain app, but that didn't work.
I don't get it. What exactly do I do? Nothing has worked. Do I delete the entire account in Mail and set it up again from scratch? Sometimes it'll ask me repeatedly for it and nothing works, so I have to cancel and quit, and then wait a bit and start Mail again and hope that it'll take it this time around. Sometimes it'll take it the first time I type it in. Sometimes it won't even ask for it at all.
What's the deal? What do I do? I've looked on this forum and other forums dealing with Macs and, like many others, none of the solutions presented have actually worked. So any tips would be greatly appreciated.

If it works now, it will work from now on.
If you check the preferences for that account, you will notice in the advanced tab that it uses Apple Token for log in. No password used. You can also make the other settings for Mailbox Behaviors.
Also note that when you sign out of iCloud or disable the account in the iCloud sys prefs that it will remove iCloud from Mail until it's re enabled or you sign back in.
Good Luck

I cannot receive mail and the password is incorrect. I know my password, but it suddenly doesn't work anymore.I 'removed' all passwords. Still doesn't work.

I am totally frustrated with Thunderbird. All I want to do is send and receive email, but I always run into problems. This time I cannot send or receive emails because the password is incorrect. I haven't changed my passwords so why is this happening? I removed all passwords to my emails and Thunderbird still asks me for my password. I enter in nothing or my old password and still nothing. Please advise.

has your provider webmail? Try the passwort there. Maybe you have been locked out because you entered the wrong password too many times.
Maybe you are using the wrong username.
check if your e-mail provider has a step by step manual on how to setup an account with Thunderbird.

Mail and lost passwords

Forgive me for starting a new topic but the long-running saga of missing passwords has been closed.
Fed up withconsistently having to replace password or correct Advanced preferences i decided to remove all trace of my faulty accounts and reinstall them. I removed keychain references to the accounts, copied the Mailboxes for Library to my desktop and deleted the originals, then deleted the accounts. I quit mail, started it up again and re-entered the accounts, allowing Mail to make its automatic links etc. After 36 hours I have had no problems, even been able to restore 15 minute collections of mail rather than collecting manually. Have just installed 10.5.2 and everything seems cool. Fingers crossed. Am I just lucky or have other sufferers tried this?

I presume that everyone with this problem makes a bugreport to Apple. And are there any mor topics where we could rise this problem? As seen there are no people giving solution or fixing tips anymore. The reason is simple. It´s only Apple that can fix this.
I think a topic type " How to make Apple pay attention to this mailbug" would fit. In fact i tried but that was dismissed because violation of user terms. In the explanation I was told this is discussion where you should find tips from others to solve problems. But this opportunity seem ta have run out. I have posted negative feedback to apple but nothing helps.
Why do I feel like those in "Lost"?

IOS 7 change iTunes and AppStore password input request.

On iOS 6.1 I was able to change the frequency of how often iTunes and the AppStore requested my password. I had it set to "ask me every time". I would like to change it so it would be once every 15 mins. Yet I cannot find it in iOS 7. Any help or solutions?

Ok so I figured it out. Go to General>Restrictions>Require passcode>15 minutes

Changes applied and MobileMe Gallery

After uploading a gallery to MobileMe I changed some picture's settings (exposure an such) within Aperture. I expected Aperture to upload the new versions with the next MobielMe Gallery sync.
But it won't. What am I doing wrong?

Have you refreshed your browser? Maybe you need to clear your cache and reload the page.
Does both the visitor and owner pages show the old versions of the pictures?
You could create a duplicate version of the images and add those to the MobileMe album. Then. delete the old version and sync the album.

Mail and MobileMe folders

On the right side of the Mail main screen, below Mailboxes, Reminders, RSS, On My Mac is an entry for my MobileMe set of folders that are not duplicated above (e.g. Junk, Deleted Messages). Is there a way I can not have them shown on this window?
I'm OK with them but they bug my wife and son so I'm seeing if there is any way I can hide/remove them from the main view page.
Thanks.
B2 (;-?

Not good. I just tried to delete the subfolder by copying the contents of the SENT folder to another folder on my mac. It unexpectedly deleted every message in SENT, and that subfolder still shows up on MobileMe.
Now I'm also trying to get those messages back in SENT, since I can't just drag them in. This is really messed up now, so I'm waiting for suggestions before I do more damage.

Suddenly, some mail messages do not arrive (both Mac Mail and MobileMe)

Since Wednesday (August 20), I simply no longer receive email messages or replies from people I have had in my address book for years. The two senders I know of, via chat, are in my family, and I have never had problems receiving from them before (again, that I know of). They continue to send messages and replies, but they do not show up in Mac OS X Mail nor on the "MobileMe" website. These folks are not getting their messages to me returned undeliverable, nor am I getting them in my "Junk" folder (just in case you're wondering). It so happens the two senders that I know of both have aol.com email addresses.
Any suggestions as to where these messages are going, or how to get .Mac (er, MobileMe) support? It seems any way to get .Mac support by email has vanished from the Apple website. (Hey, why is that, by the way? It's a PAY service after all.) I know MobileMe wasn't the smoothest launch ever, but somehow I don't think it is specific to MobileMe (except of course that the mail server is the mail server).
Thanks!

More information: This is only applicable to SOME email senders. I cannot be sure exactly how many or which other senders are not having their messages delivered to me, I AM still receiving various emails. These persons have simply asked me, via chat, why I haven't been responding to their emails...

Mail and mobileme account

Because I am a Mobileme subscriber, a Mobileme account automatically shows in my Mail account. I therefore have a Mobileme inbox which is totally redundant, and I would prefer not to have.
I am assuming that I can delete simply Mobileme from Mail account, however I fear that I might do something untoward.
I only use Mobileme for syncing iCal between my computer and my iPhone, and I never use Mobileme for emails.
By deleting Mobileme from Mail account, will this affect Mobileme syncing my iCal?
JohnC

Many thanks McJaga
Just to be clear...to delete the Mobileme Account in Apple Mail I do the following:
Mail, then Preferences, then General and click on Mobileme Account and then hit "-" at bottom left hand of screen. That right?

Leopare Mail and .mac password glitch

I cannot send or receive mail via .mac because it asks for my password which I enter and it says nope...but I KNOW it's right...so I go to .mac and try and get reply that it's the wrong username and/or pw, but I KNOW it's right, so I click on forgot pw, reenter it and voila...it works for both .mac and mail...UNTIL next time...anybody experiencing this and what the heck is going on. It just started, got my Mac in Dec and all was fine until about March and from there it's been downhill with my Mac experience.

If you haven't already done so, I would try running Keychain First Aid on your login keychain, which is done via Keychain Access.
Launch Keychain Access, which is located at Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access.app.
Select your login keychain under Keychains, and at the menu bar, go to Keychain Access and select Keychain First Aid.
Enter your password, select Repair, and then Start.

Help understanding mail and MobileMe

I hope this isn't too silly a question.
I have my (MobileMe) mail set up in mail.app as an IMAP account. Everything works great, except when I move folders off of .MAC and drop them into ON MY MAC (for storage) they wont arrange themselves alphabetically. I am not quite certain how they are ordered (it seems to be last in shows up toward the bottom). Is there a way to fix this? I have a lot of mailboxes (one per client) and would like them to be organized alphabetically.
Any thoughts?

K/C R,
In the mail display you can sort by any field displayed by pressing the title.
ie From/Subject/Date Received, etc.
It will toggle between ascending and descending order.
Edit: Sorry, I might have misinterpreted your question. Why don't you leave them all in the Inbox and setup smart folders for each one. My Smart folders are all display alphabetically.
Cheers
