Have deleted a Yahoo account from Mail but it keep asking for password

My Mail on the iMac has several email accounts for my wife and I, we have recently deleted my wifes Yahoo account because of spam mail, as well as deleting it through Yahoo, the email account in Mail was removed. Ever since we have been receiving prompts for the password to the deleted account. I have checked through preferences and there is definitely no reference to the account. Is there something else I need to delete?

thanks mende1 - I have lion and have checked as you have mentioned above - the email account is not listed there - it's still asking for the password though

  • Mail 7.0  keeps asking for Password on restart

    Only Mail keeps asking for my iCloud password. I have entered it into the password box (in Account Information, incoming server), and it seems to take it, but it empties everytime I close the window, and reopen it.
    This didn't happen before Mavericks. ICloud works fine, as do all the iWork apps. They have no problem getting to iCloud. It's just Mail that does for some reason.
    Any ideas?

  • Mail on MBA keeps asking for password

    I have mail on my MBA, and iPad (Gen1).  The iPad is rock-solid, but on my MBA I keep getting asked for my password.  I have multiple mail accounts (incl Gmail and iCloud) but it is only my 2 work accounts that I get bumped out of all the time.  This might happen 10-20 times a day, and then not happen for a month or two.
    One of my colleagues told me 'you have multiple devices checking email and some programs not releasing the login after checking mail (iPad), a timeout or error is given during checking of email and hence a password prompt comes up because authentication failed.'
    Appreciate any assistance on this one!

    If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
    Step 1
    When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
    Step 2
    Check that the keychain is working.
    Step 3
    Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

  • Won't le me download from app store/itunes keeps asking for password

    Everytime i go to download something, it asks me to sign in, and it keeps asking.

    Apparently this is a known issue and Apple is working to resolve it as quickly as possible. Don't try to change your password or account, you will have to just retry to download tomorrow.

  • Mail keeps asking for passwords; incoming server in iCloud is dimmed, not available

    Mail on all accounts (iCloud, gmail and comcast) keeps asking for passwords; many Internet sites that used to be filled in from Safari are blank and require password. In Mail accounts, the incoming server for MobileMe/iCloud is dimmed. I can check mail on the Internet but it's kinda handy to have it delivered to the iMac. What's up?

    Got the axect same problem. HELP!!! Using me.com still tho. But I want to use mail again!!!
    UPDATE!!!
    Okay, it is working now. I removed my account in Mail and upgraded to iCloud. Now it is working.

  • Not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

    not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

    okay well they got me to take out some .plist files to see if that would help it didn't. I'm not sure what ones that they deleted for my self maybe someone here would be abel to tell you what ones to take out but didn't work the one that came close to working was this going into keychain and deleting the account(s) then reading them again.
    if you are to do this please back up first with Time Machine. You can do this with a usb drive.
    Okay so go back to where you had internet accounts and make sure mail is shut. click the - on the account your having problems with then quit system preferences.
    Okay so then press cmd and space bar at the same time then type 'keychain access' into the search then click on 'keychain access'
    once it is open go to the top of the window and put your email address that you are having problems with.
    once you have put in your full email, have a look at what comes up i deleted things in the kind colome with 'internet password' and anything with under name that had smtp.gmail.com or imap.gmail.com so it would look like this, map.gmail.com - internet password.
    right click and delete them. make sure not to touch any other files that dont say them things on them.
    Once you have done this quit keychain access and then restart the computer, once the computer is restarted go back to system preferences and internet accounts and re-add the account.
    Hope this helps. if something is not clear just ask.

  • HT6114 my hot mail account will not let me access it keeps asking for password but won't authorise it?

    my hotmail account will not open. keeps asking for password but will not accept the password when i enter it. its the correct passwrd?

    Hello Duncan,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Mail on your Mac.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
    If you entered the correct password in the password dialog in Mail, but continue to be asked for your password, try these solutions.
    Open Keychain Access, then locate and delete the mail account password item.
    Open Disk Utility, select the volume (for your hard disk or disks) in the list, click First Aid, then Verify Disk. After you’ve verified (and repaired, if necessary) the disk, try sending yourself a message.

  • HT5631 I have change my Apple id and now my phone cant sign into i cloud. I dont have the old pas word to delete the old account. It will not stop asking for the icloud id.

    I have change my Apple id and now my phone cant sign into i cloud. I dont have the old pas word to delete the old account. It will not stop asking for the icloud id.

    ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them.  Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password.  Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

    My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!

    If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
    The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago.  I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago;  but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
    A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password. 
    I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that.  With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software. 
    Best,

    Unless you set up a special iTunes account that is only good for free apps, you need a valid payment method. To get that special iTunes account see:

    OH MAN! I had the same problem for so long! I was trying to get as much information and try as many different ways as possible. None worked for me and I am guessing none worked for you either. I will try and help you out! I hope this works for you!!!
    Click on your Apple ID > Type in your password > Scroll down to Purchase History > Click on it > If your account has red numbers higlighting a balance. You need to pay that first. Then you are hopefully free of that stupid security code crap! I hope this helped you!
