Mail password problem with non Apple email accounts

If I quit Mail for any reason and then start it up again, Mail asks for the passwords to each and every one of my non-Apple email accounts. It does it every time. It's been doing it since I restarted after the last security update. If I put the passwords in, everything works until the next time I relaunch Mail. Is anyone else having a similar problem, and does anyone know how to fix this?

Try this: go to the Keychain Access utility, select the Keychain First Aid command under the File menu, and have it verify the keychain. If it encounters any errors, have it repair them and verify again. If it then comes up clean, try Mail again. If it still isn't holding the password, go back to Keychain Access, go to Passwords -> Internet, locate the item for your e-mail account, and delete it. Then try Mail again, making sure you have the password(s) correctly set in Mail's Accounts preferences.
Hope this helps.

    Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

    You will need to find a third party solution for online storage in order to share things like photos with others. Some popular solutions to this are dropbox and sugarsync.
    You cannot sync non-iCloud email accounts across your iOS devices and computers unless they are IMAP accounts like iCloud. If they are IMAP accounts, you will do it in the same way as you have always done.

    The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

    Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it.  It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

  • Problems with my yahoo email account using Firefox

    I am using Firefox 14.0.1 and I have problems with my yahoo email account. I send an email, the receiver got a good version of my email, but when I see the same email into my sent box I see a differente text. When I use any other Internet browser, I can see a good version of my original email into the sent box.
    Why???

    Hi,

    (To revert to the previous profile, close the new profile, start Firefox and choose the '''*.default''' profile. While the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles Profile Manager] is open, you can also delete the newly reset profile (the one containing random numbers)).

  • How do I sync my non-apple email account settings (5 email addresses) with my ipad air using OS X Mavericks?

    I recently acquired a new iPad air (first time ipad user) and while I am quite happy with icloud, I seem to be unable to sync all of my remaining email account settings (automatically) with apple mail under OS X Mavericks.
    I simply want to use all of my email accounts, which are setup in Mail (on my imac) with my iPad without having to add them manually to my iPad. This used to be no problem with all previous versions of OS X. Email account settings could be synchronized using the respective tool located within the info tap in itunes.
    Are there any solutions?
    Do I really have to add each and every email account now separately to all of my idevices???
    This is ridiculous!!!

    Unfortunately there seems to be no practical solution. You will have to go through the hassle of setting up your accounts manually.
    Strange enough though, when setting up my new macbook (clean install, no data migration) all e-mail accounts where setup automatically through icloud (yes, even my non-apple accounts).
    I guess and this is a rough guess that this is supposed to work with all other idevices too.

  • Change password on non-apple email account

    My email account was hacked (it is not the Apple mail account).  How do I reset the password on gmail?

    Try the forgot password reset tool provided by Gmail on their login page.  If the hacker has changed these items, you may have to call Google for verification to have the e-mail account reset.

  • Can icloud delete email from non-apple email accounts?

    Just wondering if there is any way that icloud would be able to delete emails en masse from a non-apple/me/cloud email account. I seem to have no email prior to May 1 on an IMAP email account I have hosted elsewhere. Using Lion (of course) and the most current version of the Mail app and am referring to incoming email only.
    Thanks!
    Chris

    "External" email accounts (e.g. google, yahoo, etc.) have no connection with iCloud.  You set up accounts for these email services in the mail program and can do the usual things with them (view emails, move to folders, delete, etc.) but they are in now way related to iCloud.

  • Having problem with big pond email account downloading on all devices

    Hi,
    Have just bought the Mac Air and am having enormous problems with emails downloading on all devices (ipad, iphone and Mac). If it downloads on one it does not download on another. I have a Telstra bigpond.net.au account. I do not want to change net.au account since I have had it since the dawn of time!
    What is the most effective solution? Apple suggest using gmail as a conduit but does this work. They say it may work but do not guarantee success.
    Help!

    With multiple computers, POP is a royal pain. Back in the days when I had to use POP mail, my solution was to access my POP accounts only from work due to the reason you describe. Basically POP works like this: mail goes into your POP account, you access the account and download the mail onto your computer, the mail that's downloaded is deleted from the mail server. When we were using just one computer that was fine but not now.
    The idea of using gmail should work. Once you are in the gmail setup window choose the Accounts tab and read the help screen under Learn More about Check mail from other accounts (using POP3) This will have gmail access your bigpond email account and move it to gmail which can be set up as IMAP so all your devices can access it 'properly'. I had this working perfectly with my work email until we finally got the go-ahead to upgrade our mail server and started using IMAP.

  • Problems with "non-Apple" Hitachi 100GB/7200 RPM internal drives?

    I bought a Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 drive from a third-party vendor and had it installed in my 15" PBG4, which promptly began kernel-panicking when coming out of sleep. Pulled the Travelstar and reinstalled the original 60GB drive, and the kernel panics have stopped (up to this point, anyway). Has anyone else had (or heard of) any problems with the 7K100 drives and the 15" PowerBooks, or have I just run into an odd quirk?

    The Hitachi drive should work in your machine. I know at least one person who has a 100GB 7K100 working happily––even after dropping his PB on a marble floor recently....
    Something particular to your machine or to the drive's installation caused the kernel panics, I'd say.

  • How do I sync an IMAP non-Apple email account across devices?

    At the moment, anything I do to my BT.Yahoo account on my iMac doesn't sync with my MBP or iPhone

    If it is actually an IMAP account, and you have it set up as IMAP on all devices, it should sync without you needing to do anything. That's how IMAP works. However, if you have it set up as a POP account on just one of those devices, that will remove the messages from the server, screwing up access for the other devices.

  • Problems with non-Apple Router's connection

    Hello everyone,
    Hope all of you have a nice day.
    I just bought a new airport Express, but i do not know how to configure the AE to connect internet.
    My situation is: i'm living in a dormitory, and connecting to internet via my university's network. Therefore, in my room. there is only 1 LAN
    cable for you to plug in to your computer. The computer has to be set into static ip address.
    Here is the information:
    IP address: 141.2.179.79
    Sub: 255.255.254.0
    default gateway: 141.2.179.254
    dns: 141.2.22.74
    i pluged the LAN cable to WAN port of AE, and manually configured the AE as:
    1. Connect to internet using: Ethernet
    2. Bridge mode
    3. manual TCP/IP:
    IP address: 141.2.179.79
    Sub: 255.255.254.0
    Router address: 141.2.179.254
    DNS: 141.2.22.74
    After the configuration, the LED goes green - means everything should be fine. But i still cannot connect my computer to internet when pluging the cable from the LAN port (AE and my laptop).
    Hope someone has solutions for me
    I appreciate your helps.

    I'm wondering if it's possible to get the Airport
    Express and/or Airport Extreme to extend my wireless
    network. I would like to keep my internet connection
    going into the Belkin Router.
    No this is not possible with your Belkin router.
    However you could create a roaming network with the AEBS (Airport Extreeme Base Station) and the Belkin (join them via cable) and then extend the AEBS wireless part of the network with the Airport Express.
    Cable Connection -> Belkin Router (on channel 1)
    Belkin Router -> AEBS
    AEBS (on channel 11) - ))))) Airport Express (also on channel 11) via WDS
    You would need to ensure that the AEBS was configured to not distribute IP addresses.
    You might as well use the Airport Extreme and extend it with the Airport Express and leave out the Belkin router.
