Keeps prompting me for POP account password, despite using Keychain

I have three pop accounts setup in Mail. Ever since I upgraded to 10.5.6 I've had a problem where Mail will frequently ask for the pop account password, even though I told it to keep the password safe in the Keychain. What on earth is causing this?
Sometimes I'll see a new email come into the inbox, only to then be prompted with the password. What good is asking for a password after the email has already arrived? This is really weird!
Thanks.

Apple seem to be ignoring this and every other thread like it... as I have the same problem and there seems to be no solution offered.

  • Why does my iPhone keep prompting me for my iTunes password? ...

    Starting a few days ago, iPhone 4S. Every so often, it seems randomly, when I'm using the phone I get prompted for my iTunes password. I enter it without error, get no error message.
    But then nothing else appears to happen, until I'm prompted for it again a couple hours later.
    My first thought was that I had a stalled download on the phone? But I don't see one.
    Any guess as to what's going on?
    Starting a couple nights ago, my daughter was downloading a bunch of purchased songs and one of them is apparently corrupted and stuck in never-never land. Keeps trying to download to our iTunes PC with no luck. Coincidence?
    Thanks very much,
    Chris

    It's all coming from Facebook.
    Either a notification is turned on or somehow these "events" have been synced to the calendar.
    The "how to fix" would depend on the notification.  If it's coming from the Facebook app, again, fix the notifications in the settings for your facebook account.  Since you're also getting emails, I believe this is where the notifications are coming from.
    If they are coming from the calendar app, then either change the notifications for each event or delete the events.

  • My MacBook Air keeps asking me for my yahoo password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password/account.

    my MacBook Air keeps asking me for my YAHOO password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password.

    I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
    It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again.

  • =I got a replacement iphone 4 and now it keeps asking me for my kids passwords for the apple id. how do i remove their accounts without messing up their passwords?

    =I got a replacement iphone 4 and now it keeps asking me for my kids passwords for the apple id. How do I remove their accounts without messing up their passwords?

    An iTunes account cannot be transferred to or created on an iOS device by itself.
    Did you sync your iPhone with iTunes when iTunes was logged in with your kid's iTunes account - did you transfer any iTunes content to your iPhone including apps that were downloaded with your kid's iTunes account?
    If so, this is why you are being prompted for the password for that iTunes account.

  • Mail forgets pop account passwords

    If there's a problem on the pop3 server (e.g. server denies for some reason user's login / password), mail doesn't try to use the same login keychain entry any more, and even when the pop3 server becomes operational, Mail continues to ask for account password.

    Greetings,
    It sounds like the Keychain entry for that account password may be corrupted. Try opening Keychain Access > Passwords and scroll through the list until you find the one for the account in question and delete it.
    Then restart Mail, enter the password when prompted and check the box to store it in the Keychain. With any luck, it will be accepted and won't ask you again.

  • Iphone keeps asking me for my AppleID password

    My iPhone keeps asking me for my AppleID password. 
    This usually happens after I wake the phone and/or start any app.  The problem is intermittent (and too consistant that it has become very annoying!)
    This started happening about 1.5 weeks ago.
    I called into Apple support and they don't have any idea of how to fix it other than me backing up my phone and performing a brand new restore.  I haven't done that yet as it seems to be a brute force approach (and lengthy timewise at that). 
    From what I can remember, I purchased a song from my iPhone using the iTunes store.  Ever since then, it has started asking me for my password for my AppleID.  If I enter the password and click OK, everything is fine, but after a few moments, it will ask me for my password again.  Also, if I hit Cancel, everything is fine, and again, it will ask me for my AppleID password. 
    I have the lastest build/version of iOS 5.0.1 installed.  The password entered IS correct.  I am able to purchase music/movies/tv shows from my AppleTV with the same AppleID and password.  I have verified on my iPhone under settings, Itunes that my AppleID is correct as well.
    Anybody else getting this and/or have a solution?

    Could be a few things...Some things to check:
    -Do you have pending downloads in the itunes store? Go to ITunes Store > More > Downloads
    -Are you signed into the correct Apple ID in the store? Go to Settings > Store and check the Apple ID. It may be a good idea to just sign out (by tapping on the apple ID and choosing sign out) and sign back in even if you are.
    -Other things that use your Apple ID that you might check: App Store, Facetime, iMessage, iCould, Game Center

    Because Yahoo is messed up. I suspect you have Yahoo mail in your Mail app. Go to settings>Mail>Yahoo and reenter your Yahoo password. You may have to reset the password.
