Mail continues to not save a password for one of my POP accounts (gmail)

Hello,
Whenever I leave the computer and come back (the machine never turns off, only the display goes to sleep after about 15 minutes), Mail asks me to reenter my password for my gmail POP account.
This is very annoying since I use multiple desktops (Virtue Desktop), so having the window show up in the non-mail desktop and trying to click on it makes me switch to the Mail desktop, where the window isn't, so I can't edit it unless I quit Mail and reopen it.
EIther way I have tried deleting the gmail account and adding it again, I have told it to save to keychain every time I enter it (clicking that option when I enter the password apparently does nothing), I have looked into the keychain application and I found everything necessary I believe..
Anyways, thanks for any light anyone can shed

my experience is that there is a drop in your internet connection and Mail was trying to send e-mails during the time the internet connection was dropped.
are you using a Macbook? I am using it and had problems with internet connection dropping every 10-15 minutes and had the same problem as you with my Mail. Every 10-15 minutes it asks me to type in a password because it cannot connect to mail server.
when the problem occurs, try to see if your internet is working. if it's not, then i think you're on the same boat as hundreds others. the problem was never solved through an update of firmware for 10.4, but hopefully 10.5 has solved this problem. I have not tested it yet as I'm still restoring my files.

  • My mail is not accepting my password for one of my email accounts. How can I fix this?

    Mail is not accepting my password for one of my email accounts. I know the passoword is correct.
    It will accept my password for one of my email accounts but not the other.
    I have reset the password in the account settings but it still will not work.
    how can I fix?

    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Window ▹ Connection Doctor
    Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Click Check Again and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.

  • Why do I keep having to reenter my password for one of my email accounts?

    Why do I keep having to reenter my password for one of my email accounts?

    Likely because one of the servers (the incoming or outgoing) needs authentication before you can receive or send messages.

  • 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.

  • TS1398 My Iphone 5 continues to not save the password to my home wifi network. I have put it in several times but everytime i go out of range from the router, it disconnects and forgets the password.

    As it says in the question, i was wondering whether there was an software issue?

    Problem Solved!!!
    I thought I had tried everything and then the answer was so simple (Thanks to a Chris on this forum!).
    Went to 'other' in the list of wifi networks and entered the network name (beware of caps), correct security (in my case WEP) and password. Knew immediately it had worked because the 'forget this network' button appeared in the network details, which it hadn't before. 
    Yippee!

  • My app store application on my iPhone 4S is not accepting my password for one of my Apple ids. I have a feeling it is because the ID isn't correct, it should be my email address and it is not just 1st portion.

    My app store application on my IPhone 4S is not accepting my Apple ID and password. The ID comes up, but I don't think it is totally correct as it doesn't have the complete email address which is actually my ID. I know the password is correct because I just changed it even though I knew what my last one was, I changed to be extra sure. I am not sure how to change the ID in the App Store application.

    To change the ID:
    Settings > Store > Apple ID. Sign Out of the old and in with the new.

  • I had to change my password for one of my Email addresses and now I can not get mail into Firefox.

    I had to change my password for one of my Email accounts ([email protected]) and now I can not get the mail to go into Mozilla Firefox and I don't know how to change the password in Mozilla to get the mail into it.
    I looked at how to change my password but the options you told me to use were not available. I clicked on tools then options but there was no sync tab or manage accounts either.

    The login.salesforce.com website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • How do I save a password for a site if I am not prompted by Firefox?

    I am trying to save a password for a site that I previously chose not to save one for.
    I have tried:
    Going into my exceptions list - it's not listed
    Going into my saved password list - there's no option to manually add a site
    Checking the forums but there is no solution that has worked
    In one forum I followed one solution. I opened a new tab, typed in about:permissions and searched for the site. It was remembered and set to 'Allow' password storage but 0 passwords were stored so I could not use the 'Manage Passwords' button. I even tried the 'Forget About This Site' button to see if navigating back to the page would reactivate the password prompt but it did not.
    Little help?
    Thanks,
    Megan

    I am having this problem with logging in to my Craigslist account. The autocomplete will enter my user name after typing the first letter, but the password does not, and I'm not prompted allow it to be saved. It used to autocomplete the password, but after I changed the password and deleted the old one in Saved Passwords, it won't save the new one. The bookmarklet doesn't seem to change anything. If this a CL issue, is there a way to circumvent it?

  • Mail is suddenly not recognizing my password.  it has done this now and then for a few minutes, but this time it's been days.  anything I can do?

    try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. The servers may still be having a hard time keeping up, so you may just need to wait a little while and try again.

  • Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

    Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

    Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
    Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

  • How come I have to put in a keychain password every time safari or mail is opened? Is there a way I can disable it or save the password so it doesn't pop up every time?

    How come I have to put in a keychain password every time safari or mail is opened? Is there a way I can disable it or save the password so it doesn't pop up every time? Also, I have my mail account set up from my Yahoo! account and every time I open mail, it asks for the password for my Yahoo! account. I have checked save this password to keychain and it persists on popping up repeatedly.

    You don't want to disable keychain (if there's even a good way to do so), since it stores stuff like certificates and the such.  It's quite useful.
    Anyways, Keychains>Preferences>First Aid.  Check Set Login Keychain as default.  When you login, it unlocks the keychain.
    That should help you.

  • My apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account.  I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone.  any ideas?

    my apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account.  I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone.  any ideas on how to override this issue?

    If you updated the old ID at one point to create your current iCloud ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Check exception list of your Firefox password Manager and check if your site is there or not?

  • I change my email my Verizon email to Comcast email.  I am continually asked to give my password for my old email which I deleted.  I have deleted this Verizon email from every area on my iPad that I'm aware of, And yet he still appearing.  How do I solve

    I change my email my Verizon email to Comcast email.  I am continually asked to give my password for my old email which I deleted.  I have deleted this Verizon email from every area on my iPad that I'm aware of, And yet he still appearing.  How do I solve this.

    What you are describing sounds like you created a new apple id with your new comcast email address. There may be apps on your ipad that are associated with another id that was using your verizon email address. If thats what you're saying then those apps need to be updating by using the apple id that was used when they were downloaded.
    If you're talking about something else then maybe a lttle clarification is necessary.
    Go to settings/itunes and app stores. make sure the correct apple is shown.
    Go to settings/mail, contacts and calendars. Makes sure all of the accounts are current.
    Go to settings/icloud, facetime and messages, verify the same.
