Mail doesn't save passwords after 10.5.7 update

Did clean install and updated to 10.5.7 but now 2 of my IMAP accounts don't save passwords and keep getting asked for it everytime I launch Mail. Anyone having this issue too?

Launch Keychain Access (in the Utilities folder), go to the First Aid tab in its Prefs, and see whether the choices are set to your liking. Then run First Aid from the main menu. If that doesn't help, try Reset in the Prefs/General tab. While you're at it, you might see whether the choices there look right, too.

Mail doesn't save password for iCloud IMAP account (works fine with other email providers)

Mavericks Mail doesn't save the password for my iCloud IMAP account no matter how many times I enter it into Preferences or enter it when prompted. Doesn't seem to be saving in Keychain or wherever it should be saved. Passwords for all other email providers that I use are saved. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!!!!!

Great, thanks A LOT! Best answer on that issue and so simple!!!! Now it works perfectly fine

Mail doesn't recognize password after upgrading to Mountain Lion

After updgrading to Mountain Lion:
The gmail account in Mail began to ask for its password. it is preseent [in dots]; when i click to continue, dialog box indicates it doesn't recognize it.
i had time to to go over details in a gmail help page with details (port numbers and other things).
I decided to start over.
I deleted the account in Mail, system preferences, Accounts, began anew. Later I deleted inactive Gmail from  menu, Mail. Contacts & Calendars.
Reading some interventions in Communities mentioned the Key Chain. I had changed the Gmail password while using an older Mac Book. In June i purshased a MacBook Air and had Apple migrate my files from the old to the new mac. Mail had not password problems until I updated to Mountain Lion, which I thoroughly enjoy.
I'm at my wits end.
Throughout all this, Mail on my ipodtouch o.k.
I appreciate help.

Is it sleeping or shutting down?
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there.

Mail doesn't save sent mail on one of my email accounts.....

Mail doesn't save sent mail on one of my email accounts. I have several accounts, but on one of them it just doesn't save any mail I send. Is there a hidden setting I've missed somewhere? I did delete the account and then reset it, but it took out all of my emails to that address so I'm loathe to do that again!

I'm lucky enough to have two Macs running OS X 10.9 next to each other, both using the same network, and sharing a common Exchange mail server. My corporate machine (an first gen' Aluminium iMac) has both Outlook and Mail installed. My personal machine (a 13" MacBook Air) has only Mail installed.
Neither install of Mail is guarenteed to write sent messages to the Exchange Sent folder (it might happen, it might not). Both write perfectly to other common mail servers (e.g. GMail). Outlook writes perfectly to the Exchange server, but generally functions less effectively as a mail client than Apple Mail.
The failure to write to the Exchange server only happened after the upgrade.
It's quite frustrating.

TS1398 iPad won't recognize wifi password after 7.0.2 update. (The password is correct, but iPad says it's incorrect) How do I fix this?

My iPad won't recognize my wifi password after 7.0.2 update. The password IS correct, but I continue to get the message that the password is incorrect. Any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same problem too on my iPad 3. One thing that sometimes works is if you go to the App Store and put your password in there after a few tries it may work.

Mail 4.2 Will Not Save Passwords after 10.6.2. Update

Mail 4.2 is experiencing issues after 10.6.2 update. I have several POP email accounts - they all fail and ask me to re-enter the password. It is not a POP server problem - as it appears to work on alternate email client.
I have entered new account details/created new accounts in Mail - no joy.
This issue started immediately after restarting from 10.6.2 update ... at this point I am about to roll back my entire disk to my clone of last evening. Luckily most of todays work was on a 10.5 machine, so no data loss.
ANyone have any other suggestions, before I take the roll back route?

I noticed yesterday that there was a KB document on Mail which suggested that the password system has been tightened up somewhat and that in a case of difficulties, the Accounts preferences in Mail should be examined to make sure the correct authentication method was selected (e.g. Password, Kerberos, etc.).

E-mail doesn't sync automatically after installing...

I'm using an e-mail address under my personal domain in my N8. Everything worked well when using Symbian Anna but now after installing Belle - there's a problem: e-mail doesn't sync automatically.
When I set my e-mail box up will the sync work for few times just fine. But then it stops working. Manual-sync works fine and there's not a single problem. I have tried to re-set the box again and again but in the end it's always the same: syncs automatically few times but then it stops working.
Any ideas what to do?

I've managed to get sync working again without a reset...
Went into Mail.
Deleted all my e-mail accounts.
Exited the Mail application.
Turned off the mobile.
Removed SIM.
Turned on the mobile.
Went into Mail.
Went into settings, confirmed there was nothing there.
Tried to add a new account, I was only offered Exchange ActiveSync.
Exited the Mail application.
Turned off the mobile.
Held power button for eight seconds (mobile vibrates 3 times and turns off).
Put the SIM in.
Turned on the mobile.
Went into Mail.
Went into settings, set up one e-mail account.
As I'm not interested in Nokia Mail and I want a direct connection, I did the following to set up the account...
Put a false address and password in because I want a direct connection to Yahoo but if I choose Yahoo then I get Nokia Mail's version.
Chose POP3/IMAP.
Rejected the terms and conditions.
Put the settings in manually.
Went back into the settings and chose a syncronisation period of 15 minutes.
Deleted the e-mail widget (I'm not interested in it).
Confirmed it was working by sending myself an e-mail from another address.
Does it work for other people?

TS3276 mail doesn't recognise password. my bt yahoo is working ok .help?

my mail doesn't recognise my password athough my bt yahoo is accepting it and is working .Help?

I've now managed to log back into my email account but now the server seems to be suffering some sofrt of intermittent memory failure. Now although I have been sending and receiving emails from this account most of the day in the last couple of hours the connection to the email server has become very slow, though a test gives perfectly usual speeds of
Download 12.5Mb
Upload 2.54Mb
yet my last few attempts to send emails have all failed, most simply timed out but a few that did get through have now been bounced as
'334 535 invalid user ID or password'
Obviously both are in fact correct, as neither have changed in the past couple of hours, so it would appear to be a problem at the server end though I can find nothing about a problem anywhere. Any suggestions or should I just hope it will be feeling better after a good night's rest.
Many thanks

Snow Leopard: Mail doesn't remember passwords no on login keychain

I keep my mail passwords in a separate keychain.
Prior to 10.6, I would only have to unlock the keychain and grant Mail access to the passwords.
Now, with Snow Leopard, I'm bugged to enter my keychain password every hour or so. It's completely busted.
I've tried deleted the passwords and re-entering them. Also tried moving the passwords onto anothey keychain.
Can anyone suggest a workaround?

I'm have exactly the same problem. both my accounts are hotmail and even if i fill in passwords both in the pop up box and in pref -accounts it bounces!
I shall await with interest on a reply from apple!

Mac Mail doesn't recognize password but iCloud does

Beginning yesterday the Mac Mail stopped recognizing my password.
iCloud does recognize it.
Checked all the online sources for Preferences and all seems to match the recommendations.

Time Capsule - Can't change network password after 10.6.3 update

Has anyone else experience an issue changing the Time Capsule network password after updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.3? If so did you find a work around? After the update I'm no longer able to change the Time Capsule network password when accessing it from Airport Utility. The utility will say that Time Capsule has updated the network password to the new one but when I check keychain it shows the old password. I tried resolving this by deleting the original keychain then changing it again in Airport Utility but it still shows the old password in the keychain and Airport Utility when I reopen the app.

HI,
Checkthe vendor site for Snow Leopard compatibility. The developer may need to update their software.

Thank you very mucho for your suggestions

Skype 7.1.0.105 - doesn't save passwords

OMG, I can't believe this.
With the older versions of Skype it NEVER saved the passwords when you sign out & then want to sign back in. It's the ONLY software onthe planet that doesn't.
Then recently in the last year or so they FINALLY inserted that feature & NOW they removed it again.
I'm downgrading.

Ok, I don't think I was clear enough, sorry.
I have multiple Skype accounts & one has to log out to log into the other.
Before I was able to do that & it remembered my p/w so I didn't have to do all this work to find p/w & manually type it in.
Skype is the ONLY IMing software that causes this problem. Every other one that I know of ICQ, YIM all save the p/w.
Why make the customer go thru all of this. Why not let them save their p/ws if they want to.

Search in Mail doesn't show results after Migrating

If I search for a word or an adr. in Mail nothing show up. Unless I've just read the mail. Like that newly read email is the only one being searched in ..?
This happened after moving my user account to a new MacPro with Migration Assistant.
(first a clean install of 10.7 on a new disk in bay 1 on the "new" MacPro and updating to 10.7.5 - Starting up from the new disk with my "old" HD in bay 2 on the new machine and using Migration Assistant to move all my data over to the new disk in bay 1)
Same Mac OSX version, but MacPro version from 1.1 to 3.1
Also Spotlight doesn't show results.
Is there a way to make a new "search cache" or whatever that overview file is called ...
Suddenly now, when not getting any search results, I see how much I use search in Mail and Spotlight ... !
Thanks
