Mail 7.2 & Yahoo Mail IMAP keeps asking for password.

It's off and on - mostly off. Basic troubleshooting has been done, checked settings, password, etc. More often than not I can't send messages from my Yahoo account using Mail 7.2. Pop-up continually appears asking for password (which is already there *****) but to no avail. Account appears to be off-line. I've logged-in using Internet Accounts in System Preferences numerous times. Currently I'm sending mail but all day today and over the weekend, not so much. What's the likely problem?

Not sure what's going on but it certainly appears to be a Yahoo issue (not an email client issue).
I'm seeing the same problem with Thunderbird and MS Outlook mail clients for Mac for the past couple of days.

One more time, iCloud mail accounts are .me, .mac and .icloud. New ones are only .icloud.
iCloud mail is a standard Imap account that can be used with any mail client in existence. But You are talking about the ability to automatically setup an iCloud account in mail, which did not exist until 10.7.2.
You can use password or token authentification with iCloud mail (in Mail) it is your choice.
Set the account manually, set it as Imap, use imap.mail.me.com (no P number) for the incoming email and smtp.mail.me.com as the outgoing server.
The full settings (ports and security) are here. Use them and it will work, regardless of domain (mac, me and icloud addresses all use the same settings.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead. SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud.
For more information on how to use this information with your email application, consult your application's documentation.

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.

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.

I cannot retrieve my emails on my Mac Book Pro operating on 10.7.3 Icloud was already workingit keeps asking for password and when i put correct password in it keeps asking for it again and again. This has just started today

I cannot retrieve my emails on my Mac Book Pro operating on 10.7.3 Icloud was already workingit keeps asking for password and when i put correct password in it keeps asking for it again and again. This has just started today

Though it's unlikely to be wrong if things were set up properly in the first place, as a check go to Mail Preferences>Accounts and check that the server setting for IMAP (incoming) is imap.mail.me.com (not just mail.me.com).
Your next step either way would be to go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign out, then sign back in again. (You can ignore warnings about data disappearing - your calendars etc. will disappear when you sign out but reappear when you sign back in).

Outlook 2007 and 2010 on Windows XP keeps asking for password

I have a fresh installation of Exchange 2013 installed on Windows 2012 and the problem is that Outlook 2007 and 2010 which is installed on Windows XP keeps asking for password.
The problem occurs only on Windows XP while on Windows 7 is working fine.
Any help will be appreciated!

Hello
I had similar issue in my environment -Exchange 2010 SP2 UR4-v2 ,DAG 2 MBX servers(MBX1 and MBX2) in production site ,2 CAS in production site ,17 mail box databases , Public folder replicated to all the mailbox servers.
strangely users using outlook 2003 and outlook 2007 were being prompted for user name passwords.
investigations were done as follows
1. test connection status -click on the outlook icon in the lower right of the users desktop.clicked on test connection status ..
2. found that the username was being prompted while attempting to connect to the public folder in MBX1 server.
3. using EMC on the exchange server, changed databases pointing to public folder in MBX1 to public folder in MBX2. This solved the issue for us.however we were not sure of what the exact issue was ..was it public folder corruption in MBX1? .we found
that the users were being prompted for username and password only in outlook 2007 and not in OWA or outlook 2010. this made us rule out possibility of Public folder corruption in MBX1 server.
4.raised a case with microsoft to do a RCA (root cause analysis) . The resolution from them was to change the exchange RPC service on MBX1 from "network service" to "local account" and switch back to "network service".
The reason stated by microsoft is "password cache corruption" .Any ways the problem was solved at the server level.
Hope this helps all of you who have been scratching your head over this issue

Trying to buy, download a song and keeps asking for password over and over, even after entering correctly. Why?, trying to buy, download a song and keeps asking for password over and over, even after entering correctly. Why?

Trying to buy, download songs on iTunes and keeps asking for password for the account. Entering the password correctly but it keeps asking for password. Have downloaded hundreds of songs before, first time this has happend. Why?
Thanks.

Hi, Trex8.
There are a couple things that you can try to resolve this issue. First, I would recommend processing any updates needed to the computer and iTunes. You can check for updates in iTunes by selecting the help menu and check for updates. If iTunes is on the current version, see the article below.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Make sure to test the results after each troubleshooting step processed.

Does this issue happen to all clients or a special one?
Please first check if Logon network security under More Settings on the Microsoft Exchange
Security tab is set to a value other than Anonymous Authentication.

Hi Gavin229,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you have changed your AppleID information or password, you will need to sign out of your existing iCloud or iTunes Store accounts and sign back in with the new information.
The articles below will explain this in more detail ...

Finder keeps asking for password verification

Finder keeps asking for password verification when I ask to move or delete a file.
How can I stop this from happening?
Thanks in advance.

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

I have an user who follow steps mentioned on above link but still outlook keep prompt for password.
User have full access on SharePoint site but when they click on Send and Receive, they receive outlook sync error as attachment. I believe this error due to the
outlook keep prompt even though they already the correct credential.
