Mail passwords for a pop account

I have two mail accounts one pop account in belgium and one mac account. After upgrading to leopard, mail is asking on an irregular basis for the password for the pop account.
In the preferences for mail the password for the pop account doesn't show, even after it has been given again. It look likes if Mail doesn't save it, it doesn't show up in the preferences. Even a new set-uo if the mail account didn't solve the problem.
How can I solve this problem?

I have also tried this and even setting up a new emailaccount. When setting it up it takes halv an hour to the computer in checking the connections with the smtp server and sometimes it fails. The strange thing is that I also get the question about the certicate for my smptpserver and the question if I am going to rely on it. I answer yes. And then it works a few times. But then it is the same song again
It asks me for a password. I I don´t check the option remember password in keyring it keeps asking until I check it. And then it´s ok until next time it asks me for the password and then there is one more identical password in my keyring.
The main issue to me is why I can´t save the setting password and why it changes to apopathentification. I.M.H. O i consider this as a major bug in Leopard and have also reported it.
Setting up an applemail following the set up assistant sho9luld be a piece of cake. But it is not and even my emailprover has failed to find a solution on this and say this is something wrong with the settings or the applemail.
My wife who also have an applemailaccount has faced the same problems since I upgraded to Leopard.

To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the new ID. If you only changed your ID and didn't create an entirely new ID, you can choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. Your data will download back to your phone when you sign back in.
Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll before deleting the account. Deleting the account deletes the photo stream photos from your phone.

I don't know the password for the SMTP account so as to mail photos. How can I retrieve or change the password?

I am unable to share photos from the Iphoto program because I don't know the password for the SMTP account. How can I either retrieve or change that password? Or is it one I already should know?

Have you set the general preferences in iPhoto to email using iPhoto? Then change it to email using "Mail". This way iPhoto will use your regular Mail account.

How to End the Error message: "enter the password for the exchange account"

i completed configure Exchange Account on my iPhone, but still show the error message: "enter the password for the exchange account"

make sure you don't have 2 step verification in gmail.
otherwise you need to follow
Signing in using application-specific passwords
The codes that you’ll get with 2-step verification don’t work with all applications. There are a few applications that use information from your Google Account (like the Gmail application on your phone, or Outlook) that require another type of code. These are called application-specific passwords.
Some devices and applications that use these special passwords include:
POP and IMAP email clients such as Outlook, Mail and Thunderbird
Gmail and Google Calendar on smartphones
ActiveSync for Windows Mobile and iPhone
YouTube Mobile on Apple devices
Cloud Print
Installed chat clients such as Google Talk and Adium
3D Warehouse, Sketchup, and installed applications
AdWords Editor
Sync for Google Chrome
Gmail Notifier
How to generate an application-specific password
Unlike a verification code that you receive from your phone or through Google Authenticator, application-specific passwords are generated. You don’t have to memorize them, ever - you simply generate a new one each time you need to sign into a particular application. Follow the steps below to generate your application-specific password:
Visit the Authorizing applications & sites page (pictured below) under your Google Account settings.
Under the Application-specific passwords section, enter a descriptive name for the application (label 1) you want to authorize, such as "AdWords Editor – Desktop," then click “Generate application-specific password" (label 2).
You'll then see the application-specific password you just created (3). You'll also see the name you wrote in for the device (4) and a link to Revoke (5) -- or cancel -- the code.
Once you click Done, you’ll never see that application-specific code again. But don't panic: You can generate a new one whenever you’re prompted for an application-specific password by a non-browser device or application -- even a device or application you’ve authorized before.
Using application-specific passwords
When prompted for a password when you sign in to a non-browser application or device that accesses your Google Account:
Enter your username.
Enter your application-specific password in the password field.
If your application has an option to remember your application-specific password or stay signed in, you can select that option so you won’t have to generate and enter a new application-specific password each time you access your account from this application or device.

Trying to use iCloud sending server for other POP accounts

I have an iCloud email address, and 2 other non Apple POP email accounts set up in Mail running OSX 10.7.5. I've forwarded my 2 POP accounts to my iCloud address so mail coming to those email addresses will sync with my iOS devices via iCloud. On my Mac, if I reply to one of these messages, it wants to use the sending server for the POP account, which means the reply will not end up in my iCloud sent mail, and therefore won't sync with my iOS devices.
I tried to set up the POP account using the iCloud server with the following settings:
Server Name: smtp.mail.me.com
Default Ports 25, 465, 587
Use Secure Sockets Layer
Password Authentication
User Name: [email protected]
Password: My Apple ID Password
When I try to use this server when sending from these POP accounts, I get an error that Mail can't send with that server. I run the connection doctor, and everything checks out OK.
Is there a way I can accomplish this?
Thanks,
Dan

try logging in to your email account through the web browser and in the web client there should be auto forward setting set it up in the web client and delete the email account from mail and then all of your email will be forwarded to your icloud account on all youre devices

My ISP tells me I need to I need to change the port to send/receive e-mails, but I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I proceed without the password?

My ISP tells me I need to change the port to send/receive mail, as the current port is going to be disabled for security reasons. But I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I add an account when I don't remember my password? It's been several years.

your email password is with your ISP so they can help. but if it is saved in the email app you can just change the ports in the preferneces without a password.

How do I add a smart mail box for my email account on my iPone?Is that possible?

How do I add a smart mail box for my email account on my iPone?Is that possible?(I mean mail box that sorting specific emails from my inbox)Thankssss.

You can't add a smart mailbox, but depending on your iOS version you can add a server stored mailbox with an IMAP or Exchange account for sorting received and sent messages by category. Not possible with a POP account.

Lost user name and password for my second account

I have had a personal Skype account for years. I recently created another account to explore teaching thru Skype ( it is suppossed to be my business account. I am a Math tutor). The problem is what I don't know what I did with my new account user name and password. The user name must be something like "professorserna" and the password I don't have any idea. In my bank business account I see the two charges:
04/30/2012 PREAUTHORIZED DEBIT SKYPE COMMUNICAT IAT PAYPAL 1204 30 $9.99
04/30/2012 PREAUTHORIZED DEBIT SKYPE COMMUNICAT IAT PAYPAL 1204 30 $10.00
( Why two?)

Hi, gasernag, and welcome to the Community!
Might you recall the e-mail address you used as the new account's registered e-mail address? If you do, as if you were searching for a new contact, search using said e-mail address - the new account name should appear in the search results. Then, you could apply for a new password, the token which will be e-mailed to the registered e-mail address for the new account.
Here's how to request a new password:

In order to file with Skype Customer Service to inquire what the nature is of the two charges, we first have to secure access to your new account!

Whenever I start my iPhone or iPad I get a message:'Password required/Enter the password for the CardDAV account. Can someone tell me what the CardDAV is and how to eliminate the message?

Each time I start iPhone or iPad I get a message: 'Password required/ Enter the password for the CardDAV account'. Can anyone tell me what that is about and how to eliminate.
Also this began happening the same time my Yahoo mail account was hacked which resulted in my mail program (on mini) to fail. It crashes on startup.
Thanks

Thanks Steve that did it on my iPad. It was the yahoo account. Im beginning to think that Yahoo is dangerous. It was the hacking of my Yahoo mail account that started these problems. My mail account on my mini still does not work. I posted the problem here and got real professional advice but to no avail it still doesnt work and I cant re-install the OS because Im in China and their Great firewall keeps the net too slow.

Keychain Issue for the password for my mac account.

Keychain Issue. Keeps asking for the password for my mac account. When i type it, i keep getting "rejected the password. But it is the correct one. Verified in keychain access. "The .Mac server 'mail.mac.com' rejected the password for user XXXXXXXX. Please reenter your password, or cancel."
Thanks in advance
don

But may I ask why you're using separate servers for in & out?
I don't know the answer to that. For many years, it's always been set up like that. I have never changed anything.
Should i delete the .mac mail account & set it up again? If so, What servers should i use for incoming & outgoing?
Keep in mind i'm having the same issue on my desktop & laptop, both running tiger 10.4.11, as far as they will upgrade.
I do have a laptop running Lion, but that shows an icloud account, not a .mac account like the older computers. It also has a bellsouth account with the password that is correct and a gmail account which is working fine.

Hi StuNYC,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

How do you set up to back up iPad notes in iCloud? I turned on backing up notes in iCloud settings, and it asked me to create a .me account, which I did, but I don't see my notes anywhere on iCloud, and I never received a password for my .me account.

You'll find your notes under Mail in iCloud. There's a separate folder on the left that's labeled notes so you can access them anywhere. And your me.com account will have the same password as your Apple ID (in fact, you can log into iCloud with just your Apple ID, as the two accounts are permanently linked).
