Mac Mail won't forget password 10.8.5, Mac Mail won't forget password 10.8.5
Two of my co-workers updated their iMacs to 10.8.5 this week and now they can't set up Mac Mail in a way where it won't remember their password. They tried deleting it from the password field but it always reappears even after hitting save in account preferences. These are single user machines. They are, however, in a busy office and they would like it so no one can get new mail or send mail from their macs when they step away from their machines in the time it takes for the screensaver to kick in.
Eric, thanks again.
The problem seems to be that the moment I key the mail passwords in, they are stored in the Keychain Access.
I have again deleted them from Keychain Access and when I do that they are also deleted simultaneously from Mail/Preferences/Accounts and System Preferences/Mail, Contacts & Calendars. Thus each box in the Mail application is definitely empty ie without a password.
This locked me out of getting mail completely as I could not get email from any of my 4 POP accounts.
I put the pop mail password back into the box in System Preferences/Mail, Contacts & Calendars and it appears automatically in Keychain Acess but not in Mail Preferences. Mail then asks me for the password to get pop mail, I key it in and then Mail continues to remember the password, which is exactly what I don't want.
This is really confusing.
Perhaps the question is really how to stop the Mail application from accessing the Keychain Acess application or how to stop a password that is keyed in being added to the Keychain Access.

I'm now having trouble getting mac mail to work on my mac. The mobile me account works great on iphone and ipad but it won't connect to my mail account. Password is correct. What else can I do? Using OS10.68
HI,
The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as Jabber Name/ID. (Google Run Jabber server).
Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another. (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.

GMail won't accept password using Mac Mail
I set up my POP access according to Gmail's directions, and can log
onto the account fine on the web but it won't accept my password using
Mac Mail. Anyone dealt with this before? Please let me know. Thanks.
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.8)Please disregard, I've figured out the problem. In case it could help someone else, when asked for the User Name, you have to include the "@gmail.com" where with Apple Mail, you don't have to.

Mail won't sync with my .mac account - won't accept password
I have a MacBook running the OS X 10.6.8. Recently I have found that I cannot sync my Mail with my .mac account. I can log on through the internet to iCloud and read emails (I know my password is valid), but when I try to get them synced to my Mail account it won't accept the password. It looks like this may be a conflict with Mail not being updated to iCloud, but I am unsure. I have not found an update that will update the Mail to link with iCloud. My computer is also not new enough to update to the new Lion OS. Am I stuck? This has been very discouraging and I have been wasting hours of valuable time trying to figure out how to fix this.
Did you turn on iCloud Drive by any chance? If so, then until Yosemite comes out, you won't be able to sync your documents and data to your Mac:

A box comes up after I try and send an email wanting my password. I put the password in, the box disappers, then shows up again empty wanting my password. The same password is used to access Apple but Mac Mail will not accept it. It just stop sending about four months ago.
It is possible that you are in a transition period of time when Apple is shutting down the mobileME website. In fact, Mobileme.com is closed at this moment. I can see where you might be receiving email traffic and yet being unable to send email out using the mobileme/ mac dot com emaill address. Check this article out from Gigaom.

Hope this helps -
It just stopped receiving, and now wont send either. It will not recognize the password when I put it in.
My ISP says its an issue with my mac mail programPosted in error.

I have been unable to log in to iCloud on my iMac. None of the hints online have worked. I can't sign in (with any password), sign out, the forget password doesn't work, the support button doesn't work. It's locked. I can't find anyway to fix this - I need to add a new printer ASAP - help!!!
The "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" window popped up a couple of weeks ago and is asking for my Apple ID password, which it will not accept, It won't sign me out (I am not logged in), the support or forgot password buttons won't work. With this window stuck open, I cannot access anything on system preferences. I can't find any way to make it go away. I have tried both my current and old Apple ID passwords, tried using FaceTime to login with the newer password, etc.

Help. I recently bought a 2008 Mac Pro from Mac of all Trades. It came with Leopard 10.5 installed. When I set initially started the computer, I followed the instructions on the screen. I was asked to set up a password which I did. Since I'm very forgetful and not too tech savy, I wrote it down as I typed it in. I first went to install Office Mac 2011 but when it asks for a password, it won't accept the one I set up. I was told that if I bought the new Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and installed it, that it would reset everything. Well, it won't allow me to load it without the password. I am new to Apple - this is my first. I have always been able to "reboot" a computer with discs but I'm not sure how to do this one. Is there a way to do it without the password and reset everything? Could somone please email me
Thank You. David Moore
<Email Edited by Host>If you don't have original install disks for your Mac, you can order replacements disks directly from Apple at a nominal cost. The original install DVDs are required to reset the password.
If you have no data on your drive that you want to keep, you can boot up from the OSX Snow Leopard disk and install OSX SL.
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and hold the C key during startup. The Mac should boot from the CD/DVD drive into the installer.
Follow the prompts, erase the disk and install OSX Snow Leopard. -
I changed my Apple ID password, and now my iCloud won't let me sign in on my Mac. How do I fix this?
I changed my password for my Apple ID yesterday for security reasons (I change all my passwords every 2 months). I can log into iCloud on the internet to check my mail and my calendar plus I was able to change my password on my iPhone so it can still sync. However, my mac keeps rejecting my new password and won't connect. So I deleted the account off my Mac, and now when I'm trying to re-add it it keeps saying "You can't sign in at this time". Is there a glitch in the system? Is anyone else having the same problem?

I have been having the exact same issue for the last 2 months. has anyone got a fix for this? i also found that my App store will not connect???
this is sooo frustrating!!! APPLE products are not supposed to be like this! why does'nt Apple FIX IT!! -
I can send & receive email from my ipad but for some reason I can no longer do this from my i mac.It keeps telling me that the password is not valid with the imap server.I keep entering the password but it won't accept it.
Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)? That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both? Or more?
I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details. The BT email client set-up starts here. -
How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences (the password from Account Info). Once you enter the password, it keeps it permanently. i do not want that. It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Also, The other pressing issue i have is, I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account. Instead of creating different user accounts for the MacBook, it's just easier this way. Or is it? If this is a permanent thing, then I may switch back to Lion. I guess I shoud've waited until the kinks were out before installing (**** Mac-head!)
Thank you all kindly for any suggestions & your time
Regards,
JCI DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account.
That is simply not possible with Mail, and never has been. Anyone who uses your account can see all messages stored in Mail. The only true solution is to not let other people use your account. Let other people use the guest account, or if you share the machine with someone else, set up a separate user account for that person. This will also solve the problem of remembering the password. It will become a non-issue for Mail to remember your password if nobody else has access to your account. -
HT2500 Mail suddenly asking for password and saying rogers, my provider won't accept it.
I use rogers as my provider. No today mail is asking for my password and not accepting it. When I type it in, it says rogers will not accept that password but if I go into rogers yahoo mail, that is the password I use and it accepts it. Why won't mail accept this password all of a sudden? I have two email accounts that come into my mac mail and do not want to have to open 2 web pages on rogers yahoo mail to be able to get my mail from both accounts.
The situation you describe often happens with Comcast Mail Servers too, and is apparently due to short term problems with their servers. It usually is solved by the ISP within a reasonable number of hours and magically begins working fine again. Keep trying periodically.
Hope this helps -

Any thoughts?Yes, fortunately it suddenly started working again. I'm not really sure what (if anything) I did. In any case I used the password reset function on http://iforgot.apple.com/ a few times, maybe that's what fixed the problem in my case.
