E-mail account password needed input every time mail opened
Whenever I go to open e-mail I am asked to enter the the password for my Apple ID. I have tried to store the passwrd under e-mail preferences for my .me account but although I press save to update the account the ID is not retained in the keychain. Any advice welcome.
I would recommend to sign out/delete your accounts from your Mac (in Mail > Settings and System Preferences > iCloud and Internet Accounts) and then to completely set it up again in System Preferences > Internet Accounts. In most cases a fresh set up fixes such problems.

Every time I open my "E-Mail" account, it always ask me for the password. Why? How can I lock in my password permently?
I don't understand why I'm getting a message saying the problem is fixed.

So, some how, you answered your own question as solved. -
After installing Mavericks on an imac, Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account. After I clicked on All Mail the program crashed and now it crashes every time I open Mail. Does anyone have an suggestions?
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

I'm having trouble with my Apple ID. I changed my email account, and recently (a month ago) and since I switched is requested every time I open any app to Apple ID password to the old email. How can I solve this? Could it be that my iPhone 4S is in sync with my Ipod???
If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPhone. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

I get the following message every time I open my contacts on my iphone or iPad : "Password Incorrect. Enter the password for the Exchange account "Exchange"". If I enter my password, it does not accept it. I don't even know what this means.

Every time I open my email on my iPad, I'm asked to enter the password for my old address. I have deleted that account, but I'm still asked for the password. What to do?
You cannot change your Apple ID. You can get a new one if you want, but all of your Apps and media are linked to yoru old Apple ID. And no, Apple won't transfer your old ID purchases to yoru new ID.

What happens to my "Dock"? I use that every time I open my computer(s), along with various mail accounts, and even the Widgets?. Thanks.
Using iCloud will not affect your dock or your widgets. If you upgrade to iCloud, your MobileMe mail account will be updated to an iCloud account, but that is all that will happen. What exactly is it that you are worried about.

Mail app crashes every time I open it
No recent updates or changes to phone, but every time I open the mail app it starts to check for messages and then crashes back to the home screen. I can't check mail, send mail, etc.
The problem is that you have a "toxic" or corrupt email message on your server. It may be malware, or may just be corrupted in transit. You need to remove the bad email from the server. If it's an IMAP account log in from your computer and delete it. Likewise for Push. If it's a POP3 account log in to your provider's webmail and delete it there.
Even after deleting it will remain in the mail folder, so you should go to Settings/Mail,contacts,calendar and turn the account off, launch email, then turn it back on. -
Certificate alert every time I open Mail.app
Every time I open Mail, I get a certificate alert saying that the following certificate is not valid:
smtp.emailsrvr.com
My belief is that if it is not a valid certificate, then I don’t want to use it.
Is this a TLS certificate?
Is there a way to determine which e-mail account that uses it?
Is this cert used for iCoud?
Is there a way to tell my computer to never use it and to never alert me again?
It is mostly an annoyance. And a concern that my computer will keep trying to use an invalid certificate.1. It's a certificate of authicity given by the server through which you are trying to send e-mail.
2. In Mail Preferences > Accounts > Any account there is a SMTP dropdown menu. Select Change SMTP-Server list. From there you can see a list of SMTP servers configured. You can also see which e-mailaddress they are assigned to, if any.
3. For certain I can say that this isn't used for iCloud.
4. You can delete this SMTP server.
If this SMTP server is being used legitemately by one of your e-mailadresses, you need to contact your e-mail provider to aquire an valid certificate. -
Mail suddenly closes every time mailbox opens!
For the past three days, every time I open Mail, as the mailbox is opened, it suddenly quits. I've run Virex which came with my .mac account and a few files are inaccessible but nothing obvious comes up. Does my mac have a virus? Please help!
I received this suggestion from another forum and I tried it and so far it worked.
"Sounds like your prefs are corrupted. Go to /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches and delete the folder that says Mail. Go back to your Library folder, and open Preferences. Delete com.apple.mail.plist. Go back to your Library folder. Delete the foler that says Mail. Open mail and see what happens."
One last thing, if you're using other mail accounts with Mail you will need to re-establish them. Good luck everyone.

I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
This problem only occurs the first time I open Firefox after turning on the computer, but it occurs EVERY time I turn on the computer. Every time I turn on the computer and open Firefox, none of my add-ons are seen as updated or installed (although they are all updated and compatible). I need to "find and install updates" then restart Firefox. Once this has been done, I can open and close Firefox with no problems, but it only works fine until the next time I re-boot and I have to go through that all again.
== This happened
==
Every time Firefox opened
== Started when I upgraded from 3.0.(?) to 3.5.(?).. now on 3.6.6 and still happening

Mail crashes every time I open after 10.5.1 update
Every time I open mail it just crashes right away. I've tried repairing permissions, tried shift click, and also tried from a different/new user account.
Any ideas? I have been having the same problem with iCal since I installed leopard but I don't use iCal so I never really cared.Try this:
1) Quit Mail
2) Go to ~/Library/Mail
3) You'll find a file called 'Envelope Index'. You may also find 'Envelope Index-1' and/or 'Envelope Index.journal'
4) Move these to your desktop
5) Restart Mail
6) When asked if you want to re-index your mail, say yes ('continue')
7) Let Mail re-index
8) You should be fine
I'm not sure, but if you shut down and restart, or do a log-out, you might go through this again. Mail has a clear bug. Perhaps someone who knows more about these particular files can shed some light. -
Every time I open itunes I have to put in my password, I also have to enter my password to access the store, my account etc even though I have already entered it on openening the programme - it is extremely annoying!!

Check the settings in Gmail for whether each email opens in a new tab or the same tab.
