Mail cant remember login details for one of my accounts

I have a Yahoo account and Mail consistently fails to remember my user/password combo. I have check the server settings and they are fine, I have also deleted the email account from Mail yet the issues persists.
Can anyone advise before I launch my 2 month old MacBook Pro through the window?
If this helps, I dont have the same issue with my iphone, that works fine.
Thanks.

Thank you very much for your advice. Last evening I tried to log on to thank the first person whose answer advanced my situation. I appreciate anyone's willingness to help. I find it both rewarding and refreshing. Once again, thank you for your kindness.

  • HT1277 Mail keeps asking login credentials for a removed Exchange account

    Removing an Exchange account does not seem to be enough to stop Mail from attempting to connect the Exchange server. Every now and then Mail pops up a dialog prompting for login credentials for an Exchange account I have previously removed. This seems to happen very consistently every time I visit the Accounts tab in Settings.
    My question is: How do I get rid of whatever little data there is left of the removed Exchange account?

    Basically, the fix is to put all your mail passwords in a separate, always-unlocked keychain.
    Here is how to do this:
    1) Open keychain access, go to File -> New Keychain. I named mine Mail. Save it in your keychains folder (default), and give it a password.
    2) Right click the new keychain and select "Change Settings for Keychain". Here, uncheck the "Lock after" and the "Lock when sleeping". The latter can be left on if you don't mind re-typing your password every time your computer goes to sleep (can also be more secure if you don't lock your whole machine when sleeping).
    3) Here is the tricky part: you need to find all your mail keys and drag them into the new keychain. Do a search for your mail host or your login username and you might see a list of keys. It will be flagged as an "Internet password", not web form, and when you click on it it should read "imap://your.web.host.tld/" or pop if you use that, and "smtp://your.web.host.tld/" for your outgoing mail. Just drag them all into your Mail keychain, type in your password and click Accept. The keys will stay on the search screen, but clicking on the Mail keychain will confirm that they are in fact moved.
    4) Now lock your primary keychain (the one in bold) and run a test by checking your mail. If no dialog pops up asking for your keychain password then it was a success!

  • ITunes still not remembering login details

    Hello all,
    Is anyone experiencing the fact that iTunes "STILL" does not remember login details for premium Podcasts? I put in the username and password, click the little "Remember Password" box, log out as a test and then, nothing. No remember jack. I was hoping that Apple would listen and fix this but alas they only care about what they care about.
    Did anyone find a work around to this problem. Thanks in advance.

    **Sigh**
    To pay so much many and to get so little support.
    How hard is it for Apple to fix this problem? I am sure the mods will come by and delete my post because I did not speak highly of Apple and the wonder and joy that they bring the world but how about simply making iTunes work as it is advertised? If it is supposed to remember a username and password, how about this? Apple if you are listening, is this toooo much to ask? To make your customers happy.

  • What happened to the security login section for one password which allows me to have passwords stored???

    what happened to the security login section for one password which allows me to have passwords stored???

    * Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Remember passwords for sites"
    Make sure that you haven't saved Uppercase and Lowercase versions of that name and password.
    Remove saved Password(s):
    * [[Remembering passwords]]

  • Safari not remembering multiple passwords for one site

    My ffriends and I use safari on my iPhone and thus have multiple login information for one site like facebook. A few months agowe were able to go to a site, start typing in the user name and password, and Safari would show us a highlighted list of the login info that had been saved. You could then click on that info and get logged in.  But that feature stopped some time ago and I can't figure it out.  Now Safari only remembers the last login info.  It still works the way it used to on my iMac and MacBook Pro but not the iPhone. Does anyone know how to fix it?

    when the keyboard is open hold on the happy face for a second and from the menu list that pops up turn off the switch for PREDICTIVE.  That did it for me. When I start typing the firts letter of the login name now it predicts in yellow and I press space and fills it in, then I have to press the delete button to remove the space before pressing enter.

  • Is there a fix for Mail keeping 4 connections open for one.......?!

    Is there a fix for Mail keeping 4 connections open for one email account setup as IMAP.......?!
    Im just wondering whether this is possible because it means our company website falls over when the processes go over 25! There are a lot of emails.....
    It is a massive pain and ideally we dont want to upgrade our hosting package if we can help it!
    There must be a way round it?! Someone brainy know any tricks?!

    Ernie Stamper wrote:
    Never have encountered this -- more info, please? What are 4 connections, exactly?
    Very simple: Mail opens one connection for each IMAP mailbox on the account. Typically, this means Inbox, Sent Mail, Drafts, and Trash, but also includes Apple Mail To Do and Junk and any mailboxes/folders the user has created.
    The problem is that Mail is keeping these connections open when it's done checking for new mail, even when *Use IDLE command if server supports it* is not enabled. With 4 email accounts on one server, this causes a "500 Internal Server Error" because there are too many processes running. As soon as I quit Mail, my web server resumes serving pages.

  • Cant use constant selection for ONE restriction in selection

    Hi, all
    BW70 SP8, BI Addon SP8 Rev 802. I cant use constant selection for ONE restriction in selection, i can set constant selection only for whole selection, but it fix value for all query. I need to fix only one character value.
    Is there a way of doing this?

    Global restricted key figure doesn't allow to restrict one char too. There is no constant selection checkbox in restricting char context menu.
    I use multiprov. Prov1 consists of Char1, Char2 and KF1. Prov2 consists of Char1, Char2, and KF2.
    I want to restrict Prov2.Char2 to # for KF2, and not restrict Char1, but! I can set constant selection for only whole selection(KF2 and Char2=#). So it has same value for all Char1 values. I need to constant selection only for char2.

  • Group Policy to clear down MRU lists and to clear or to prevent user login details for programs such as Remote Desktop from being recorded

    Hi there,
    Please can anyone instruct me on how to set up Group Policy to clear down MRU lists and to clear or to prevent user login details for programs such as Remote Desktop from being recorded. Your help would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    RocknRollTim
    P.S. I was redirected by a forum user off the Microsoft Community forum.

    Hi RocknRollTim,
    Agree with Jason. Using a script will be a better option.
    Just addition, for history of RDP Connections, please open Registry Editor and follow the path:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default. Please check if find MRU registry items where the name (or the IP address) of the terminal server is kept in.
    Please also follow the path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Servers. It contains
    the list of all RDC (remote desktop client) connections that have ever been established from this computer.
    When expand Server folder and select a node, you will see the UsernameHint key that show the name of the user connected by rdp.
    Please back up registry items to avoid unexpected issues before any operation.
    If any update, please feel free to let us know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu
    Thank you for responding back Justin Gu and I agree with both you and Jason Miller that a script can easily achieve this task. Thank you all for your help.
    Many thanks,

    before creating your abap, check out if one of the standard report is sufficient. See tcode SUIM which contains several reports. maybe report RSUSR200 is already what you need.
