Password for Mail Application

Is it possible to set a password for the entire Mail application? ie. when I open it up, it asks for the password?

You can set the email account PW to not be stored in keychain. That would stop mail from contacting the email servers.
Why would anyone else be on your account anyways? If no one can go on your account, they can't get anything in your Mail program (there is no such thing as perfect security, however).

Load username and password for external application?

How to load username and password for external application?
For each user, we should take its Portal username and password for one specific external application. How to do that ?
Regards.

ABSOLUTLY YES !!!!
We already know the external application login information for each user and we want to by pass this user task. (Specially because the user itself doesn't know its username/password for the external appli). In fact we are trying to integrate IStore product to Portal by using this mechanism.

Recently changed my password for mail, can still read my mail, but the drop down keeps appearing, asking for my password and saying it's incorrect. Totally confused.

I Recently changed the password for mail, on iMac. I can still read my mail, but the drop down keeps appearing, asking for my password, then telling me it's incorrect. Totally confused.

If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

Setting password for numbers application

I bought numbers application from apple store.
I want to set up password for " numbers " application like MS office work out on its file.
How can i do for that??
Because my one year old son is playing ipad & dont want to get any accident to my inportant accounts in numbers.
Guide me please!

Unfortunately, you cannotmset up a password for a single app. It is sort of an all or nothing deal. You can wall off some apps using restrictions, but numbers is not one of them. Probably the bestnyou can do is bury the numbers app inside of a folder full of boring stuff that he will have no interest in.
The pad was designed as a single user device.

Rejected password for mail account...

Hello.
How can I remedy this ongoing issue of the Mail program asking for the password multiple times per week? (quite often, I'll have to enter it 20 times in the course of 5 minutes for it to actually get accepted).
I'm amazed that this hasn't been fixed yet, but until that happens, how can I temporarily remedy it?
This is the prompt that I get:
The POP server “mail.comcast.net” rejected the password for user “alexguitar1”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
thank you.

Check out your Keychain Access (Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access). Two things you can do:
1. check whether you have two or more keychains for your email account - ideally you should have one per mailbox. Delete any extra ones you don't need (check that the password of the remaining one is correct).
2. Still in Keychain Access, select the Keychain Access menu and choose "Keychain First Aid". You cna verify and repair any Keychain problems here.

PassWord for Mail?

Is there a way to setup mail to ask for a password BEFORE! opening mail? I don't like the fact that anyone can open my mail if i'm away from my computer. Thanks

Chances are your username and password used to login to your mail is stored in your "login" Keychain. Items on your "login" keychain can be used by apps simply because you have logged in. In Applications/Utilities there is a application called Keychain Access. You can create a new keychain (give it any name that you want) and move the mail related usernames and passwords to the new keychain. That way, OS X will prompt you for the password for that keychain (you can set it to your normal login password) before it can hand off usernames and passwords from that keychain to Mail.app
The other suggestions that people have mentioned are good, too. One way to "lock" your system without having to log of is to go to fast user switching (if you have it enabled in the menu bar) and select "Login Window".

Password protecting mail application.

Hello,
I would like to know if i can password protect my mail application, just the way outlook express can be done.I would not like to create a different user
acccount for doing the same.
Thanks in advance

You could make Mail ask for a password before fetching new mail or sending mail by altering your keychain preferences. Either prevent Mail from storing your email password in the keychain or let it do that but make sure that your keychain has a different password than your user account, is not set to automatically unlock on login and locks after a very short idle time.
If you have an imap account and leave your messages on the server, this effectively prevents access to your mail without a password. If you use pop and/or download messages to you local folders, though, anything already downloaded will be accessible without a password.

Mail Account NO LONGER stores Passwords for Mail Accounts

Since my last restart my mac mail accounts (.mac, company, etc) no longer STORE passwords for either the send or smtp receive... Anyone experience this before? I'm going to try and toss the mail pref files and even delete my accounts, but since it's happening to ALL of my accounts (5) at the same time I'm concerned that I'll be wasting my time until I fix what's gotten broken...

Since these password are stored in your Keychain, try running Keychain First Aid on your Keychain via Keychain Access.

Thank youIf you are using the same authentication for all your applications, then you can redirect to those applications just same as you redirect to the current app by just changing the app_id
you can use a same session cookie name for all applications and make sure all apps use same authentication scheme
Edit you application A > Shared Components > Authentication Scheme > edit your authentication > Session Cookie Attributes section
set Cookie Name value to somestring
for example: commonauthcookie
Repeat the above step for all other applications and set the cookie name to the same as above

Storing several password for my application

Hi to all! My application asks the login and password of the user, and i want to know how can i store different passwords for different users on the iphone (if the user in question want to store it - as in all the form on the net) ...where can i find informations about this?
Thank you

You could use a dictionary to associate user names with passwords. This can be persisted in a number of ways. Two of the simplest ways to do this are by writing it out to a plist or using NSUserDefaults.
