Mail loosing email accounts passwords everyday

The last few days Mail is asking for my email accounts passwords everyday. Meaning that I setup the passwords it works and the next day keeps asking for the email accounts passwords again. I use Gmail, iCloud and my personal email accounts based on my companies website domain name.
Any suggestions ? Is there a way to reset mail ?
Thanks in adavance.

Hi there,
You should be able to set main passwords for all devices you're using in Settings / Internet Accounts
Also, when configuring your password in Mac Mail, be sure that the passwords are actually saved (after inserting password, change tab for example, and a save prompt should appear).
Hope it's helpful! Good luck!

Where did my emails go after an email account password change?

Hi, I am sorry this may get a little wordy....
I had to reset an email account password ( for one of the four profiles/email addresses tbird manages) with my isp because tbird suddenly could not connect to the mail server ( It kept asking me to enter a new password.),.
Having supplied tbird with the new password it appears to have made a totally new profile and all my folders and emails are gone.
I can find the default folder but I dont know what to do with it?

I just tried to create a new profile and copy details from the old to the new and nothing has changed.
I assume because I am backing up and replacing profile contents that are already missing all the emails and folders I want back.
Massive sad face.

My email account password isn't accepted

I changed my email account password with AT&T. Now, I'm prompted for the password in Mac mail and it's not accepted. I used the keychain firstaid and there were no problems or repairs to be made. I'm able to login to ATT/Yahoo mail via the web so they(ATT) insist the problem is with my Mac. What do I try next?

Did it work before, or has it always been this way?

Sending of mails to email accounts

Hi Friends,
Sending of mails to email accounts. Can it be consolidated like UWL?
Currently, the supporting & approval process of the appraisal form is not done through the SAP workflow framework. But our clients would like to request whether there is a consolidated email like the UWL to be sent to employees. My clients would like to standard it like the UWL. We can look into see how the program can be used to check the appraisal forms u201Cinboxu201D and trigger a similar consolidated mail.
Can anyone have idea of how to solve this issue and if possible pls reply me.
Thanks,

Email Account Password Reset

Short of changing a site's main email contact, how can I reset a user's Email Account password, and have the 'forgot password' message sent to an external email address?

When you're creating accounts you can supply the password recovery email for this situation. If you haven't entered that email and you're stuck please reach out to support and they will help you.

IPod Touch email account password saved securely by iTunes on PC?

I have an old iPod Touch running the iPhone OS for iPod Touch version 3.1.3 (7E18). I'm not sure what the 7E18 means.
When I use the builtin email app to access email over WiFi, my password is stored in the iPod Touch. Is this piece of info squirrelled away on the PC by iTunes during synchronization? If so, how securely is it kept?

Passwords are included in the backup of the iPod that iTunes makes as the first step in syncing your computer.
"Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. If you encrypt the backup with iOS 4 and later, the keychain information is transferred to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, the keychain can only be restored to the same iPhone or iPod touch. If you are restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter these passwords again.)"
There are backup extractors but the one I looked at did not mention to be able to extract the keychain. I would expect the keychain items to be secure since mac use a keychain and it is secure.

Thats the security feature, to prevent anyone doing what you are trying.
The best course of action would be to contact the email service provider and ask them either for a reminder of the p/w or for them to re-set the p/w on that account.

If you forgot your Apple ID password

How do I change my email account password in Thunderbird?

I changed my password on my Comcast email account, and now I cannot access my email using Firefox. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about passwords anywhere on your support site. I've looked in every single menu item, and there is NOTHING to do with passwords. Help. Help me, please.

All the articles recommended seem to use the old Firefox menu system. I solved my problem, but I'm not really sure how. I did find the saved passwords by clicking the "display menu" icon (three horizontal bars) in the upper right, and then choosing Options...->Options...->Security->Passwords->Saved Passwords->Show Passwords. Then the next time I tried to check my mail, I was prompted for the password, and checked the "remember password" box. Everything works fine now.

I've changed my email account password and was told to notify you. what needs to be done now?

I wasn't getting any emails. Tried logging into Mozilla account but forgot password and answer to question to reset password. Called my internet provider who reset my password. They told me to contact Mozilla and let them know that I've changed it. Is there anything I need to do now? Thanks, Reynson

Hmm, this is a little confusing.
Are you currently able to access your email website and view, receive, and send mail? If that isn't working in Firefox, is it working in Internet Explorer?
If you are resetting a Mozilla account password, either for this Support site or your Firefox Sync account, and you are not getting a related email message, could you confirm that it isn't going into a Junk or Spam folder?
If you are trying to access another kind of Mozilla account, could you provide a little more information about what it is?

IPad mail, multiple email accounts. Can't use one

I have two email accounts with the same provider. I cannot send with my default email address. Wht can I do, if anything, about this?

I've been working on this some more, as I had indicated in my original post his comany's mail server was on an ancient Verizon domain mail server (not their regular verizon.net servers but some old servers they inherited from GTE, POP & SMTP only) which is a service they've been trying to phase out for two years and migrate their existing customer to Google Docs. Needless to say the migration was a disaster and after three 2 hour phone calls failed to resolve getting the migration done I gave up. I've got them migrated to Rackspace email.
I again deleted and recreated his work email on his iPhone 4s and I spent an hour checking and changing and trying different settings. Several times I got the message "iMap server not responding", while the rackspace server is iMap capable I had the settings set to pop and smtp so I'm still unsure why I got that and why after a number of settings changes that had nothing to do with imap the message stopped popping up. The problem that I'm now having is that all settings appear to be correct but I keep getting the message "Cannot get mail the mail server pop.xxx.com is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in mail settings". I've gone over the settings more times than I can count and I've re-entered the username and password at least a half dozen times and I keep getting the same error.
Just FYI, I'm using settings that work fine in Outlook 2007 without any problems and it's only his phone that has a problem.
Idea's anyone?

Not Receving Verification Code e-mails or Reset Account Password e-mails

Hello
I'm unable to login to my Best Buy account. When I try to login, I get the message "In order to protect your account, we need to verify your identity before you sign in. We have sent a verification code to your e-mail." Yet I do not receive the email. I also tried to do a password reset on my account several times, but I don't get that email either.
I tried to submit an e-mail support ticket, and was able to receive a confirmation and reply regarding the issue. In that e-mail they claimed they sent me a reset password e-mail, which I also didn't receive. I have gone through and checked spam, etc. If it is any help, that reference number is: {removed per forum guidelines}
I also even created a new best buy account to test with, and I was able to receive a reset password e-mail for that account. I tried to link it to My Rewards and it says it sent a confirmation e-mail to the other e-mail address (the one I'm having an issue with) for linking and I never received that e-mail.
I signed up for this forum using that same e-mail and received the confirmation e-mail with no issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Darin

Good afternoon Darin, and welcome to the Best Buy forum,
You would think that logging into BestBuy.com to access your My Best Buy™ account would not be that difficult, so I can understand feeling frustrated at this point. From my experience, using an alternative email address will usually resolve the issue. If you have already setup a BestBuy.com account with a different email address, then I may just need to make sure your information is up-to-date so that you can link your My Best Buy™ account.
I will need some additional information from you before I can move forward, so I will be sending you a private message to gather the information I need. You can check your private messages by logging into the forum and clicking on the little yellow envelope icon located at the top of the page. I look forward to further speaking with you.
Thank you for posting and for being a My Best Buy™ member.

ICloud email account password problems

After initial password and login problems my iCloud email account now works fine in most cases.

TS3276 email account passwords are constantly requested

I am using OS Lion and Mail and have 6 different email accounts running. All accounts work but periodically and I cant see an obvious pattern, various accounts ask me to input again the password for the account. I do this and always check the box to retain the password in the chain. But the password request will be made again at least once.
Has anyone experienced such a problem and is there an obvious reason and fix for this?
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue. It started a couple weeks ago when I changed the password of one of my iMap accounts. I've repaired permissions, deleted the keychain password items associated with the problem account and even deleted com.apple.mail.plist located in my home directory->library->preferences. None of these actions has solved the problem. I've searched the rest of the Internet but haven't found any suggestions for actions other than those already tried. This particular email account works fine with another client on my Android phone and via webmail so having an incorrect password isn't the problem.
Do you know of any files containing cached information that can be safely trashed?
As I type this it occurs to me that I didn't empty my trash after deleting the com.apple.mail.plist file. I'll try that now.

Constant request for email account password

30 days ago all of my Verizon.net email accounts started to request the password. After entering the password I get the email. Then without exiting out of Outlook the next push of email requires the password to be entered again. I've verified all of the passwords are correct by logging in through Webmail and again thought Outlook. I have exhausted every potential fix from Microsoft and have proven this is a Verizon issue. I have two other email domains one being Gmail and the other is from my website which is a .com and these do not require a password each time I receive or send email.
Anyone have any ideas? I hate to call the support number since you end up with script readers and go through the same process I've seen listed in tis forum. This one looks like something for the level 2 or 3 support team.

I would suggest that anyone having this issue verify they have updated their servers to the NEW server settings of pop.verizon.net / smtp.verizon.net instead of the old incoming/outgoing servers.
For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up fictional account "[email protected]" and the password for logging into that account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.
The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:
Incoming Server: pop.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes
Username: fakeacct
Password: fakepassword
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Server: smtp.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes (You can set it to use the same settings as incoming, or manually enter the username and password.)
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 465
If you are given the option anywhere for Secure Password Authentication (SPA), set it to No or Normal
These settings should work unless you have a Verizon/Yahoo account, in which case the server names are: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net -and- outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
If all of that is set up and it's still not working, your best bet is to provide a screenshot of your settings (with personal information blocked/removed) and any errors you are getting.
