Passwords in mail not being saved

I've seen a lot of threads on this with many possible fixes from running keychain first aid to changing the interval that mail automatically checks for mail...
I was having this problem too. however my keychain first aid showed no problems and I don't have mail set to auto-check for messages. Mail would only ask for my password once. If I quit and restarted the program I'd have to enter my password.
what I did that fixed it finally was deleting my keychain files.
not through keychain access but through the finder.
I made backups and deleted the keychain files in the /library and users/library
I ran mail again entered my passwords for all of my emails, checking the save to keychain box, which prompted me to create a keychain. I chose default keychain. all works fine again.
just note that you will have to re-enter and save all passwords that may have been saved to your keychain.
I only had about 5 or 6 so no problem.
It's a good idea to know all of your passwords anyway...

After much searching around and trying different approaches, I finally solved my issue. I ran the combo 10.5.6 updater, and this solved the issue. Prior to running the combo updater, when I repaired permissions several things could not be repaired. After the combo updater, everything works fine, and permissions are fine as well.
My mail issue happened after I updated Quicktime, fyi.

  • Maildir and mac mail (sent mail not being saved)

    Our IT moved a while ago from mbox to maildir and I was experiencing the same problems as everyone, my sent mail wasn't being saved. Read thread for background, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3622469&#3721196
    I tried the following:
    1. Click Mail
    2. Click Preferences
    3. Click the Accounts button at the top
    4. Click the Advanced tab
    5. In the IMAP Path Prefix box enter INBOX.
    6. Close the window, close Mail, reopen it and try again
    Doing this was necessary but not sufficient. After reading the above thread I also tried selecting an appropriately titled mail folder (sent-messages) in my mail account, clicking MAILBOX in the header menu and selecting USE THIS MAILBOX for SENT. Well long story short, it finally worked!
    This last step is what's being described in the Mail help topic, "Saving copies of email you send."
    For some reason I didn't understand or they didn't explain enough that I first had to select a mail folder.
    This was a head scratcher so I hope it helps somebody.
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Mail Version 2.1 (752/752.2)

    Thanks for all of your responses.
    I redid everything you guys mentioned and at one point I got a message that it wasn't reaching the server. The option to "resolve to server" came up (which wasn't the default option) and I clicked it for the heck of it. Sure enough, it fixed the connection. Again, what was odd was that the deault was "try again".
    It's working fine now, but since I don't know what caused the disconnect in the first place, I'm hoping the connection doesn't break again, I accept a meeting, and it doesn't get added to iCal. You'd think there'd be a redundancy for .ics files where it would say:
    You have responded to an invite. Would you like to add to iCal?
    [Yes] [No]
    [ ] Never ask me again
    Or it would there would be an option in Mail that says "Display Calendar invites as [] Attachment [] Email."
    I know the preferences should take care of this, but meetings and appointments are important enough for this type of anal retentiveness.
    Thanks again fo rall your help.

  • Sent mailed not being saved

    I have my preferences set to save Sent mail for a month. It is being saved for 2 days only. I have rebuilt the sent mailbox. Restarted, repaired permissions.
    Thank you for help with this!

    Hello 17black.
    This is an IMAP account, right? Who is the provider?
    Do you get the error message while you compose the message or when you hit Send?
    BTW, if you’re using Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), as your profile indicates, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance. The Mailbox Behaviors preference pane that you mention, for example, is called Special Mailboxes in Mail 1.x (and I’ll call it that way if we discuss the problem here).

  • Recently, my passwords on many websites are not being saved, forcing me to log in every 15 minutes or so.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  I am wondering if it is a result of a "bad" update?

    For the past few weeks, I have noticed that passwords on many different websites are not being saved.  I literally have to log back into each page every 15 minutes or so.  Is this the result of a bad software update?  Have an appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow but if this can be resolved without going in, it would be preferred. 

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • My Usernames Passwords are not being saved, the pop up question about saving a password or not never shows. Please let me know how I can fix this problem.

    My usernames and passwords are not being saved. I never get the prompt:
    "Do you want Firefox to remember the password?"
    I've tried the help screens but I can't find the answer. Please let me know how this can be fixed.
    Thanks,

    Make sure that you have set Firefox to remember passwords.
    * Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Remember passwords for sites"
    Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>

  • Database/Password Information not being saved in CMC

    Product:  CR Server XI R2.  Server is Windows Server 2003 operating system
    An issue just popped up today where the database info for a report in the CMC is not being saved.   I'm in the Process tab (database link) of the Report properties of the CMC and trying to enter Custom Database login information.
    The Driver is Oracle and the Server and Username fields are set correctly.  However, when setting the Password field, regardlesws of what length of a password I use, it defaults to 7 characters when showing on the screen and none of the reports run.  Even when I set the password to blank and set the password on the InfoView, the reportsw still error out.
    The error message when running the report is always
    Error Message:  The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.
    We've been running these reports for weeks without any issue until today.  Are there any known issues with any recent MS patches or anything that could be causing this?  The only thing I noticed was a MS Patch (KB960714) that was installed on Friday night.  Uninstalled and rebooted and still no resolution.

    Hi Eric,
    I'm experiencing a similar problem.  Did you ever get this problem solved?

  • Sent emails on my iphone not being saved on my hotmail's sent items

    Sent emails on my iphone are not being saved on my hotmail's sent items

    Delete the account on your phone under settings> Mail, contacts, calendars> hotmail account> delete. This will not erase anything on your email account as your phone only accesses the server. Then you can add the account again in the same place in settings. Just make sure you have the password so you can add it right away. Sometimes people forget their password because they never use it. If that's the case you can go online and click "forgot password" and resset it before you uninstall it on your phone. Hope this helps.

  • Sent or replied to emails are not being saved in mailbox

    My sent emails or the replies to emails sent to me are not being saved in my mailbox. The "sent" box is empty. What is happening and where can I find a copy of the emails I sent and the replies I sent?
    Thanks.

    I am not sure why it's not enabled by default, but when you go in to your mail and you can see your inbox.   look below your folders on the left hand side you'll see mail settings under general.
    click it
    and you'll see an option to save your sent messages.

  • Messages are not being saved on N96

    On my N96 I have set save sent messages and receive report as 'yes' but after updating firmware (20.050) messages are not being saved.Is there any solution to someone.

    I have exactly the same problem with my N95 but I can't really say when it started. Suddenly I just noticed my phone didn't save sent messages anymore and hadn't done it for some time, but can't really tell after what it started to occur. Really strange problem, not even reseting back to factory settings helped - after I put "receive report" option back it stops saving sent messages to sent folder. Actually if I go to "sent" folder quickly after sending the sms, it shows there for little moment before disappears. Really strange. I couldn't google any other information about this problem than this topic.

    I've been editing images with ease for a long time but now the changes are not being saved.
    Also, it is not liking me adding a large ammount of images in one go?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • HT4075 I tried the steps mentioned above but the changes are not being saved.

    I am not able to edit or merge PDF files. I followed the steps mentioned in the Mac support community but the changes are not being saved. Any solution to this?

    The link you posted gives be a 404 not found message. 
    The reason you're getting the repeat is because your site name is wilgenroos.nl and the first page of your site is wilgenroos. 
    The standard URL for domain names that are forwarded with the CNAME method is:
    http://www.domain_name.com/site_name/page_name.html.
    You can change the site and page names in iWeb to give you something more informative about the site and page.
    If you're publishing to a  3rd party server and want to get rid of the site name in the url and only have
    http://www.domian_name.com/page_name.html
    do the following:
    publish the site to a folder on your hard drive (already done)
    use Cyberduck to upload just the contents of your site folder to the root folder of your account on the server.
    You should delete the old site folder and files that are currently there beforehand.

  • File Options not being saved

    I appologize if this is the wrong forum, but I did a search and failed to find a related subject.
    When I click on File>Options then modify them the way I want to, then close Designer 2008 and reopen it, they're back to the default values.
    How can I retain my options even after closing designer and reopenning?
    Thanks much!

    What version of Crystal are you using?
    Are you a local PC Administrator also?
    Try right clicking on the crw32.exe and selecting Run As Administrator and then change them.
    Are you clicking the OK or Save button after making changes or simply closing the window using top right X button?
    Those options are saved to the registry, only reason they are not being saved is you don't have permission or some anti-virus software or Restore Point is writing the original settings back when you close CR.
    You may want to check with your IT people to see if they have pushed out some sort our Profile update that doesn't allow you to keep changes to the registry.
    After making the changes and you create a new report do you see the changes? Don't close the designer.
    Thank you

  • Table extension not being saved

    Hi,
    I have implemented Table extension at item level for SC and from the config perspective all looks fine.
    1) Created Append struture with required fields
    First step: appending the field to the correct structure in SE11 or via transaction SPRO.
    Structure names for table extensions are according to the pattern:
    INCL_EEW_PD_<x>_CST_<y> with
    <x>: HEADER, ITEM
    2)
    Path in IMG (transaction SPRO):
    SAP SRM -> SRM server ->
    -> Cross-Application Basic Settings
    -> Extensions and Field Control (Personalization)
    -> Create Table Extensions and Supply with Data
    -> Define Customer Table Extensions on Item Level
    Second step: you additionally need to append the new table extension field to the
    corresponding INCL_EEW_PD_<x>_CST structure called u2018cross-documentu2019 structure. This can
    also be done in IMG
    You can explicitly enter the very same field(s) (name and type) into both append structures.
    It is recommended, however, to first create another structure with the new field (in SE11) and
    then include that other structure in both append structures
    (menu path in SE11 screen: -> Edit -> Include -> Insert).
    Default append structure names in this example are
    ZAINCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CST_SC and
    ZAINCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CST
    when using the IMG path..
    3)
    Third step: Set visibility of the table extension.Create an entry with TICUS for item data (THCUS for header data).
    Donu2019t miss to populate the Transaction Type field - you could save the table entry without it,
    but it will not work!
    4)
    Fourth step: Configure Control of Fields of Table Extensions. Create an entry with TICUS for item data (THCUS for header data).Donu2019t miss to populate the Set Level field - you could save the table entry without it, but it will not work!
    Fifth step: Configure Control of Actions
    Sixth (final) step: SM30 - maintain view /SAPSRM/V_MDFSBC_DEFAULT
    I have rechecked the config several times but could not find any reason for the data not to be saved.
    When I add the data to the table structure and if click enter or check button the data disappears. The entries are not captured in BBP_PDICF  table either. i can see the Z structure in se11 for BBP_PDICF.
    I have checked doc_change badi for any issues but could not find the issue. Any idea as where I should check for the data not being saved issue?

    Hello Srinivas,
    Please do this step:
    In SM30-maintain view /SAPSRM/V_MDFSBC_DEFAULT
    Object set type :TICUS
    Structure field name : custom field
    Object type : BUS2121
    set level : item
    Field visible : X
    field enable : X
    Regards,
    Neelima
