Password won't save in mail

I have 3 email accounts that I typically sync....my me.com mail is fine...can send and receive and the password is saved. the other 2 accounts no matter what I do it prompts for a password! set it up in the mail accounts and when I go back in it's blank! I also click to add it to my keychains...and still asks for it EVERY time. any ideas? I'm just about ready to roll back to BEFORE snow leopard too!

well not sure what I did, but whatever it was it worked! lol

  • Mail 1.3.11 won't save sent mail

    I have a Mac PPC G4 OS 10.3.9 and Mail 1.3.11. Have used Mail for years, no problems, but now it won't save sent mail, whether it's an e-mail I've generated and sent or a reply. I've gotten rid of most old mail, thinking boxes may be "overstuffed" but no change. I've set up rules to have mail placed in sent, but that hasn't worked. Ideas?

    Found the problem. Out of curiousity, I opened Safari Preferences and before I could even think, the first thing I noticed was that for some reason my default browser was indicated as "Desktop DF" (?) whatever that might be (hopefully not some kind of spyware).
    So needless to say, I just changed it back to Safari and now all my Mail links open up the way they should.

  • Password won"t save in account info

    I have a Verizon email address that requires a password to send mail. When I enter the password under the advanced settings it will not save. the save settings option does not come up. The password is correct. it sjust won't save. Any suggestions? Thanks.
    Rick

    Not sure what you mean. For starters, the Preferences > Accounts > Advanced settings are for the incoming server, whereas you appear to be saying that you have sending problems. The outgoing server settings are in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings...

  • Passwords Won't Save. Outgoing Server Changed to GMail?

    None of my three POP mail accounts work now. The password text box field won't save any passwords and I see the word for GMail something (outgoing server?) appearing here and there although I never intended or directly did anything that would put GMail as one of my Mail Accounts.
    Note: I saw an older post, 4 years old, about this but thought I'd post again since it was Archived and it's "solution," rather drastic (i.e. delete Mail preferences) and even after I did that the problem continued.
    I was able to use Time Machine to get my Mail preferences back and did have clear copy of Email Settings...but it seems now I'm back to Ground Zero: what's my username, password, Authentication, etc. and the old settings I have are not working.
    I'm wondering if this is linked to recently trying a Safari Extension for Google Toolbar (now uninstalled)?
    Whatever...I'd like my Mail back and for it to remember Passwords and have the correct outgoing server.

    Two weeks later (after post, above)
    I Solved the Problem - I reinstalled Mac OSX 10.6.6 (It was rather painless)
    My Mail is working again. Safari now also again remembers passwords.
    Also, my Aperture's Mail export also works. (Mail is no longer grayed out).

  • Settings won't save Yahoo mail after adding second verification?

    My Yahoo email was hacked.   Most of the emails in my Yahoo account were sent a spam mail from my Yahoo account.  
    As advised, I changed my password and added some extra security - a second verification so no one can login to my account without additional security questions or verification code.
    No problem adding email back on my android phone.   But my iPad and I can't figure it out.
    I signed out of yahoo mail on iPad.   Deleted the account in settings.   Verified it was gone.
    Added the account back in settings, or tried to.   I get the message server unavailable.   It won't save the new password.   It won't trigger second verification.
    I went through Safari and I can login to Yahoo mail on Safari.
    I am also able to add the account to the yahoo mail app and use it.   But my iPad is constantly asking for the password.
    I'm hoping someone else has had a similar problem and solved it.   

    I hope I have a self answering question.... Thanks to the "more like this" side bar.
    the problem comes from your second sign-in verification, go to your setting in your yahoo account then go to Edit your account info, then go to Manage your app password a new page come out, go to the Manage your app passwords box and write " my iphone mail" then press generate password, this will give you a long password this password you gonna use it ones in your iphone and ones in your ipad.
    then go to your iphone open setting then go to your emails,contacts, calender. Then press yahoo account and go to your yahoo account information, erase the old password and enter the new long password and done.
    hope work for you guys, did work for me.

  • Email password won't save after Yahoo hack

    Opened my Mail inbox and got the wonderful mass of "MAILER @DAEMON" messages. Translation:I got hacked. I haven't had any problems with this since I changed my Yahoo/ATT password to something more complex. Now I'm being hacked again, went in to my account on my iPhone and found that it had reverted to the former password. Entered the new password, got the check marks, but it won't save--it reverts to the old password. I've tried this multiple times, I've tried rebooting multiple times, deleting the account and restoring it multiple times. Now I'm finding that my iPad has the same problem. So I am totally without mobile email now, and like so many of you this just ain't an option.

    I Have a similar problem but 9 different emails have been hacked along with my iPhone. I am now on my 3rd new iPhone as Apple thinks this is the issue (I wish). it has become so bad the police dept have become involved and are bringing in the local FBI office since email hacking is a felony and 9 different accts are involved. I do have a good idea of the suspect (s) sadly not who I expected. Someone said to change my phone number to make sure they did not have it and this would help. Think it would?

  • Password won't save after iOS 6.1 update

    I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.1 and now imessage won't save my password. After the update, I kept being asked to enter my Apple ID password.  Each time I would enter the password and 30 seconds later the dialog would pop up again.  After entering it one time I quickly navigated to Settings and discovered that my AppleID password was missing from Messages.  I entered it there and that stopped the dialog box from popping up.
    Later I had to shut down and restart my phone so iTunes would recognize it.  After it booted up the recurring Apple ID dialog box started popping up again.
    How can I stop this from happening?

    I'm unfortunately in exactly the same situation. Following update to 6.1 on my iPhone 5, I'm prompted every 10 seconds to enter my iTunes password if I re-enable iMessage logged in as my iTunes account rather than phone number.
    I have not found a way to make it stop prompting so iMessage is currently not useable by me.  This is quite frustrating, Apple's standards have been on a rapid decline for some time. I'm at the point now where I'm reluctant to install updates when they come out due to the frequent regressions such as this I've encountered.
    If anyone has a solution, I'd love to know.

  • Drafts won't save in mail

    I'm using Apple Mail with an IMAP service and whenever I try to save a draft I get an error that tells me that the draft cannot be saved. Do any of you know how to solve this problem?
    I'm thinking maybe it has to do with my mail server (I'm guessing IMAP would try to save the draft to the server's online storage instead of just on my HDD)

    I seemed to fix my own problem. I set Mail to save the drafts on my hard drive. I guess it was just the mail server not accepting the drafts

  • Apple mail won't save outgoing server port...? Odd symptom.

    Each time I close Mail, the SMTP port reverts to 25. I can enter a new port, but Mail won't save that port info. I have to re-enter after opening Mail each time.
    Symptom goes like this:
    Open Mail, then when sending 1st message after opening app an error "cannot send mail using selected server" appears. I need to go into the settings & switch the port from the default port that is displayed (25), to 3535. After doing that & clicking ok, closing the window, the password dialog box appears & mail sends just fine. Every other message from that point will send.
    Close Mail, then reopen. Have to repeat same process again.

  • HI, I just got a Macbook Pro.  It's great but my mail doesn't work at all.  It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages,  then won't delete them,  then won't save them to folders.  Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

    HI, I just got a Macbook Pro.  It's great but my mail doesn't work at all.  It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages,  then won't delete them,  then won't save them to folders.  Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not.  I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again.  How can I fix this?

    If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them.  800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly.  Hope this helps.

  • How come I have to put in a keychain password every time safari or mail is opened? Is there a way I can disable it or save the password so it doesn't pop up every time?

    How come I have to put in a keychain password every time safari or mail is opened? Is there a way I can disable it or save the password so it doesn't pop up every time? Also, I have my mail account set up from my Yahoo! account and every time I open mail, it asks for the password for my Yahoo! account. I have checked save this password to keychain and it persists on popping up repeatedly.

    You don't want to disable keychain (if there's even a good way to do so), since it stores stuff like certificates and the such.  It's quite useful.
    Anyways, Keychains>Preferences>First Aid.  Check Set Login Keychain as default.  When you login, it unlocks the keychain.
    That should help you.

  • Image won't save in my e-mail signature

    Hoping someone can help me, I have tried adding an image to my e-mail signature by going into mail preferences and then dragging and dropping and image into an existing mail signature that I have created previously.
    The thing is, every time I close mail and open it back up again the image never is saved to my e-mail signature.
    The account I have set-up is link hosted by GoDaddy with my own domain name.
    I have 5 accounts set-up and each account has it's own assigned mail signature.
    I don't know why the image won't save in my e-mail signature????

    I am having this same issue.  I am not using a pic or html.  Its just Text.   This is on my .ME Email Account.

    Hi Nuch1,
    I found an article that is contains very thorough Mail troubleshooting steps:
    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
    You can use that article to figure out what part of the email "ecosystem" is the cause of the issue, and it can also help you attempt to resolve it.
    Hope that helps,
    David
