Mail not using stored password after failure to connect

I am using Mail to access several mail accounts on OSX Lion.
If Mail fails to connect to one of these accounts, when it next tries to connect, it prompts for a password instead of using the stored password.
This is proving a problem as I have one account which I frequently have problems connecting to. Therefore I get frequent annoying pop-ups asking for the password when Mail automatically checks for new mail.
Is there any way to change this behaviour?

I agree this can be annoying. But sometimes it's difficult to fix because it could be on the Server end vs a Keychain issue. You could go to Keychain and do a few things.
1) First, in Keychain, make sure your Keychain password is correct.
2) Close Mail. Delete the Keychain item associated with your mail password for the account you're having trouble with.
3) Open Mail, you'll be prompted for your passwork: select to save in Keychain
Keychain is Located in .../Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.  Below is an example of the Keychain

    I think you can get Windows 7 for around $99. Install the 64bit version as the 32bit version will not be able to use all your new computer's ram if you have more than about 3.5gb.
    Back up your quick books data now before the old hard drive dies. You can copy your data over to your new installation of Windows and quick books.
    By the way, there is quick books for Mac http://quickbooks.intuit.com/mac/?sc=BNR-000-COR-quickbooks&priorityCode=4902000 000&cid=ppc_google_QB-Intuit-Core-Brand-Mac_quick-books-for-mac_exact&site=&ad_i d=9347918288&raw_keyword=quick%20books%20for%20mac
    So you may not need to install Windows at all.

  • Apple tv not accepting itunes password after i changed it on the computer

    Apple tv not accepting itunes password after i changed it on my mac. Mac opening itunes account with that password

    I don't have Apple TV, but are you able to log out of your account on it and then log back in with the new password so as to 'refresh' the account on it ?

  • TS3988 iCloud will not accept any passwords after upgrading OS. 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

    How can I use iCloud again after upgrading OS to Mountain Lion?  2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

    Apple ID's can be used for anything, a single ID can be used for all your accounts (ie iCloud, iTunes, MAS, Apple community etc), ideally this would be the way forward. So far as iTunes goes you need to continue to use the same ID as you have always used or you will lose access to your previous purchases and your iTunes match subscription.
    If you are using a second ID for iCloud, you can continue to do so or use the ID you use for iTunes, but if you choose the later you will need to move all your calendar, contact etc data to the account using the ID you use for iTunes.
    When (if) you change which account you use you would delete the account on an iOS device and log back in with the correct details, on a mac you would sign out in the iCloud system preference pane.

  • Mail not recognizing new password

    All right so I recently had to change the password on one of my Yahoo.com mail accounts because I could not remember the last one. I have this one linked up the mail application on my computer, however it is not recognizing the new password (yes, I'm typing it in correctly, in fact I'm just copy + pasting it). I also checked keychain and it didn't find any problems  apparently when I ran first aid.
    How do I get my computer to recognize my new password? This is ridiculous.

    Unfortunately it is not recognizing the password still. It recognizes the copy + pasted password on yahoo.com, but when I use the copy + pasted password with apple mail (even after deleting it) it doesn't recognize it.
    It was giving me a message that it couldn't connect when I put in the password. However I figured it out. What I had to do was copy the password from what I had, put it into the login area for yahoo.com, have firefox remember the password, then copy that password from firefox's preferences and paste that into the apple password part.
    Weird thing is though is when I looked at the two (the one I had kept typed and the copied one from the saved yahoo) they were exactly the same, so I don't know why it wasn't recognizing it.
    Thank you for replying to my question though!

  • Can not use previous password in ISE 1.1.2 patch-5

    this is my password-policy:
    password-policy
      lower-case-required
      upper-case-required
      digit-required
      no-username
      disable-cisco-passwords
      min-password-length 6
      password-lock-retry-count 5
    I also entered the followings:
    conf t
      password-policy
      no password-locked-enabled
      no no-previous-password
    my initial "admin" account has the password of "Checkpoint1234".  It locked me out after 5 attempts from the webUI.  Fine, I CLI into the box and reset
    the password, when I tried to reset the password for "admin" to "Checkpoint1234", it tells me that I can NOT use a previous password.
    How do I disable this option altogether?  In other words, I want to use previous password. 
    By the way, in the webUI password-policy, you have to set the "Password History" between 1 and 10.  WTF!!!
    Thanks in advance.

    Admin account for the web UI seems to be locked out. So it needs to be reset from CLI.
    An incorrect password for your administrator user ID entered enough times to disable the administrator password. The minimum and default number is five. The Cisco ISE user interface “locks you out” of the system and suspends the credentials for that administrator ID until you have an opportunity to reset the password that is associated with that administrator ID. It does not affect the CLI password for the specified administrator ID
    Step 1    Access the direct-console CLI and enter the following command:
    admin# application reset-passwd ise
    Step 2    Specify a new password that is different from the previous two passwords that were used for this administrator ID:
    Enter new password:
    Confirm new password:
    Password reset successfully
    If you only want to use the previous password, you should change the password policy first. After you have successfully reset the administrator password, the credentials become immediately active in the Cisco ISE and you can log in with the new password without having to reboot your system.
    Review the section "Password Negated Due to Administrator Lockout" at the folowing location:

  • Problem with apple not accepting my password after changing it three times as per there request

    does this mean everything is ok with password an apple id
    hello anyone here???? pls advise i've never done this before.

    I'm not sure what you are doing wrong when you do a firmware update, but the last update, 2.2.1, had nothing to do with WiFi. Not being able to even see your network, encryption on or off, is indicative of a hardware problem with your touch. Take the Apple technician's suggestion and return the iPod.
    While you are waiting for a replacement, do yourself a favor and cleanup your MacBook. Totally remove iTunes (see this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224) and download and install the latest version (8.1).
    Take a look at your router setup. What type of encryption are you using? Have you updated your firmware to the latest version? If your router supports it, change your encryption to WPA/WPA2-personnel editions. If you are stuck with WEP, change the encryption to 128 bit and record the hex key generated with your password. When you log on, make sure you tell your touch the encryption being used and, if using WEP, input the hex key. With WPA/WPA2 you can use the password you selected.
    Also when you are looking into your router, make sure the DHCP is on and MAC address filtering is off.

  • Mail not using the correct account to reply to email

    I use Gmail to fetch email from my other email accounts. Prior to Mountain Lion, whenever I replied to an email, Mail would use the correct email account to reply to. That is to say, Gmail was fetching email from [email protected], for example. When I click reply, the default account would be mail.com. But since upgrading to Mountain Lion, the default account will be Gmail.com.
    Has anyone experienced this? How were you able to solve this, if at all?
    Thanks in advance for your responses.

    The new rule seems to be if you move an email message received on account A to a folder belonging to account B, that means the message now "belongs to" account B, and replies will come from account B. The new rule is murkier if you move a message from account A to an "On My Mac" folder and then reply to it.
    I'm not saying that I like it that way, or that Apple has documented the change, just that this "new rule" seems to explain many of the "wrong reply" and "copying myself" complaints we see here on the forums. If we (users) can figure out the second half of the "new rule" ("On My Mac" folders), we might be able to explain the rest, we might be able to predict how replies will work, and we might be able to write a cogent complaint about the "new rule."

  • I have a mac computer.  I am trying to install flash player but get the message "install adobe flash player wants to make changes.  Type your password to allow this." I do not use a password to open the computer.

    I have a mac computer that uses no password.  When installing flash player I get the message "Install adobe flash player wants to make changes  Type your password to allow this.  I can't get past this message.

    Hi,
    To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password.  Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank.  Hope this helps.

    Hi!
    Why are you using the to_date ont the booking_date column? Is it a varchar2 column, what type is it.
    Because if it's a varchar2 column you could simply use
    select * from gtxn_dtl_v1 where booking_date = '20090103';
    So you wouldn't even need a function based index.
    On the other hand if it's a date you shouldn't do a to_date as well.
