Mail keychain problems

Recently, the Mail program keeps asking for Keychain passwords. This never happened before and all my passwords have long since been logged into Keychain. It asks for the password, I put it in, and the next day it asks for it again. This happens for many separate accounts on different servers so I think it is a problem with Mail or Keychain, not the remot server. Has anything changed in a recent update that is causing this?

Hey,
I can't seem to crack this either. Tried all of the above and then some...
Under Safari, if you specifically add it to the 'Allways allow access by these Apps' list it works without having to enter the user password everytime. Plus... I don't want to leave my Keychains unlocked as suggested when I'm not around either.
Is this a bug in Mail?

Mac Mail Bluehost problem

Macbook Pro
OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
Processor 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
My mail is hosted on Bluehost, I haven't changed any settings. We switched our website from Bluehost to Wix on Tuesday of this week, but the email is still hosted on a separate account with Bluehost. Since switching over there have been increasing amounts of time where the mail isn't downloading. The mail comes from a joint account, my business partner is using Outlook and has not had any problems, while my Mac Mail has completely stopped downloading, it's now offline all the time. I'm using POP I've tried changing to IMAP, tried different settings - ports - but so far no success. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Ernie,
Thank you for the suggestion. I'm not sure if there is a spam filter at work. I know that my Eudora setup doesn't do that. (It's Eudora Light, non-paid subscription.) But I do work at a college, and they may have a spam filter in their setup. I don't think they do, but it's possible. Your suggestion also gave me another idea. The college's setup is such that I can also get my mail via the internet. I will try to do that. If I can receive emails I send to myself through internet mail, then at least I would know that the issue is between Mac mail and Eudora. Does that sound reasonable? Also, do you think any of this could be related to a keychain problem? (Just a shot in the dark.)

Getting new mail & keychain

can someone tell me if there's a way to get Mail to not ask me for my keychain password when I try to check for new mail after starting up the application? It's kind of a pointless annoyance for me...thanks

what directory is it in? for example, i'm used to going into /Users/myaccount/.ssh and deleting known_hosts even though the directory .ssh is not listed
is this something similar?
matt
EDIT: nevermind, good old spotlight picked it up for me. that worked for the keychain problem. is there a similar preference file for my connection to the linux box via AFP, so that I can reset it?
thanks,
matt

My MacBook Core 2 Duo will not boot up. In safe mode I see keychain problems and Mach 1102.

My MacBook Core 2 Duo will not boot up. In safe mode I see keychain problems and Mach 1102 and it keeps circling through the same error. Also the screen is so faint (pressing the F1 and F2 keys don't do anything). I got this from a friend and he didn't have any of the original discs. Any suggestions? From what I've read it's a problem with a recent update. I've never had a Mac so I'm trying to learn and fix it.

I just had an issue like this. I was able to boot up with an external firewire drive, although it was a lot of trouble. I think doing an option boot finally worked; holding down the option key, I eventually got to see the firewire drive was bootable, and booted from it.
I put the thing in verbose boot mode (command - v , I think; but please look it up. I have no Mac books at work to check). In verbose mode, you could see that the hard drive could not mount; the OS tried to do fsck, but it failed around 2/3 of the way, and the CPU was halted.
I was occasionally able to boot normally, but never in safe or single user modes; these do a disk test first, which invariably failed.
I could see from the system and console logs when I managed to get the firewire boot going that there were repeated errors trying to access drive s03, the internal SATA drive. The logs on the SATA drive showed huges numbers of errors. At a wild guess, for some reason a lot of sectors went bad all at once. There had been a some erratic behavior before, but I'd put that down to the single processor G5 problems. (these were non video related, just freezes).
Applecare wanted me to carry the huge thing into the local Apple store, but I persuaded them to just send me a replacment hard drive, which they did. The new one works perfectly.

Mail Server Problem

The mail server problem has been resolved, mail is working as designed....yeah!!

silly discusting board, I've got 3 replies in my email but it's not showing here ...
anyway, this time I found after some chasing my tail .... that the mail preferences had wiped my password and I needed to reinstall it, then instruct it to go online and some other click stuff ....
and it seems to be ok now ....
but each round in past 2 weeks has been different "fix" .... or wait ....
sorry for anyone without master email for 5 days, that's just not right ....
I'm afraid that as apple starts "giving away" email accounts to build the cloud into something much bigger than the mobile me was .... that their folo up will fail and we will find ourselves not with the same apple durability / consistency but with the "hey it's free" attitude ....
let's see

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

What's with the new edition of Pages using Maverick? Google rejects the files with the following message attached "The reason for the problem: 5.3.0 - Other mail system problem 552-'5.7.0 This message was blocked as its content security threat?

I recently upgraded both Pages 09 (I believe) and went to OSX 10.9 Maverick .... now I am unable to send a pages document to a friend on gmail. Google rejects the message and attachment with the following explanation -
The reason for the problem:
5.3.0 - Other mail system problem 552-'5.7.0 This message was blocked because its content presents a potential\n5.7.0 security issue.

Same Problem here
IWORKS 09 pages, keynote, numbers does not send in MAIL (mac) because of "This message was blocked because its content presents a potentialsecurity issue"
its a problem not only on GMAIL but also Live, Hotmail, Yahoo, and other services...
The problem is that gmail and others haved yet accepted the latest iworks 09 files. its a problem that apple can ask then to fix but its up to the gmail and others to fix it.
Solution!!!:
1 - Send it by exporting to office files
2 - Saving the files as old iwork documents
3 - Command P and save as PDF
4 - Save in icloud and send the URL
So you can still send them but have to take a bit more of your time
i hope you understand my english is not optimal
And if you have any questions feel free to ask me

Wifi keychain problems

Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks I've had keychain problems with my home network and other friend's wifi networks. It says "Keychain 'system' cannot be found to store 'my network name'." The option is "cance" or "reset to default." I've done a reset but that doesn't work. If I hit "cancel" then it asks me if I want to run diagnostics, which does nothing, or to cancel. If I hit cancel for a second time then the wifi works, but it does this to me everytime I wake up the computer.
Any suggestions on how to fix this bug? It's quite annoying on a daily basis

anyone?
thanks

Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email. Why?!

Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email. Why?!

For what it's worth, I can report exactly the same problem. I just recently converted from Outlook for Mac 2011 to Mail. I did the conversion while running Yosemite. I like pretty much everything about Mail EXCEPT that it take 2 pages to print a 1 page email!! The header appears on the top of p.1, followed by a blank space. The message begins at the top of p.2.
If you scale it down, you can get the message to begin to appear on the bottom of p.1, but clearly, Mail is inserting BIG SPACE between the header and the message. Changing the display fonts for Mail had no apparent effect (except that the font DID change, of course)....still a BIG SPACE between the header and the message.
Coming to Mail for the first time, I would have assumed that this was just a quirk of Mail, but am I understanding that some of you Mail users out there USED TO NOT have this problem?? I think it's pretty clear that it's Mail that's causing the problem, not the message, because I went over to my old Outlook and printed the same couple of messages with no such space between the header and the message. So Mail is inserting a space into the print formatted email message that is NOT there in Outlook's print formatted same message.
Be really nice to get rid of this problem, but my Apple Care free support has expired. Not sure I want to pay for something that's generic to Mail!! Anyone else made any progress on this?

Keychain problem OSX10.9.

Have keychain problem, tried to Reset My Default Keychain in General Preference but it said "The specified keychain could not be found" Please help!

At some point, you reset your keychain to default in Keychain Access. That caused your login keychain to be renamed.
Back up all data.
In Keychain Access, delete the login keychain from the keychain list. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Keychains
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return. A folder will open. Rename the file "login.keychain" in that folder to something like "login-old.keychain". Rename the file "login-renamed.keychain" to "login.keychain".
Back in Keychain Access, select
File ▹ Add Keychain...
from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file you named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.

I have the same problem. Did you get any answers?

Keychain Problems after sync

Did a sync with mobileme last night and now I'm having keychain problems. I'd like to replace the keychain file with the file from my last backup. I don't use time machine. Where does this file live and is this a viable way to fix the problem? I already tried keychain first aid.
Thanks for help.

Here is the fix that worked for me;
Locate the Keychain Utility in your Applications directory under Utilities.
Launch Keychain Utility.
Look for the fields whose Kind�is “.Mac Password.” (Unless you have changed the default Keychain configuration, it/they will be located under the “login” keychain).
Select and remove the fields by pressing the delete key on your keyboard.
Confirm the deletion.
Close Keychain Utility.
You will have to re-enter these passwords next time they need to be used (checking email, syncing to Mobile Me, etc.) and they will be “re-stored” in the Keychain.
Good luck.

Mac Mini Intel Keychain problems + Entourage

This Mac mini is not even a week old and I had to twice reinstall Tiger to get this keychain problem gone and it just keeps comming back like a bad cold.
Keychain keeps on getting messed up for no good reason and keeps losing my passwords.
I have deleted the keychain files tryed to repair reinstalled tiger 2 times already and after 3 - 5 days it comes back.
Is this a new virus or is my Mac mini being hacked or what ???
Oh and what is up with Office for mac is there a patch to make it work with tiger as it keeps on crashing and several other problems ????

Well, if your Keychain issues keep coming back, then reinstalling Tiger probably isn't a good idea anymore, as you now know it will not solve them.
After the re-installs, did you download and install the latest updates (with Software Update) ?
Also, it would help to know with which application(s) you entered the passwords that your Keychain loses.
Even though there are a few viruses for Mac OS X, I doubt that you got one, as they aren't very widespread and, as far as I know, do not corrupt Keychains. It doesn't seem very likely that your being hacked either, unless you have specific reasons to consider yourself a target. However enabling Mac OS X's built-in firewall isn't a bad idea if you haven't installed any third-party solution. Just open System Preferences (which can be accessed through your Applications folder, or though the Apple Menu - the blue Apple icon in the Menu Bar, at the top of your screen - beneath "Software Update..." and "Mac OS X Software..."), and open the Sharing pane (Internet & Network section), where you will find a Firewall tab. Once you're there, simply click on "Start" to enable the firewall.
There have been a few reports of Office:mac crashing on Intel Macs, but they don't seem to occur very often, and the only thing I can think of to fix this is to download the latest update from Microsoft's website ...

Problems sending mail: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I can't send e mails: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I had this same problem with both my imac and mac book pro using hotmail via mac mail with bt as my internet provider. Suddenly 4 months ago out of nowhere i could receive emails but could not send them. I scoured all the threads followed all the fixes none of them worked. However I just phoned apple support and fixed it in a matter of minutes. I am SO happy. This is what the technician advised me:
Go to your apple icon and scroll down to system preferences. Then dependant on what machine you have it is different for my imac and mac book pro click on either air port/wifi then the advanced tab in the bottom right hand corner. Then click on the DNS tab. Hit the + sign on the left hand side and type in 8.8.8.8 then hit the + sign again on the left hand side it will create a new line underneathe and type 8.8.4.4 then hit okay on the bottom right and then hit apply, again on the bottom right. Then send a test email to check but it should be fixed.
Had to share this. Its been driving me mad for months.

Yahoo! Mail send problem

Hello all, anyone know when we will see a fix for the Yahoo! Mail sending problem? (This is when the iphone appears to have sent an email by playing the "swoosh" sent mail sound, but the message was not sent, the way users have been getting Yahoo! Mail to send again is by turning their iphone off then back on).
Cheers

For what it's worth I also had this problem with Yahoo mail on my iPhone. After getting tired of waiting for Yahoo to do something about it, I decided to cancel my Premium Yahoo account and switch to Gmail. I have to tell you Gmail has been amazing and I haven't looked back since. IMAP Gmail on my iPhone has made my email experience a pure joy.
BTW - I had my Yahoo account for over 7 years. And did you know that Yahoo is an acronym for You Always Have Other Options? Well I took them up on their advice since I wasn't too impressed with their service! My 2 cents.
