Rejected password more frequently

Question

Last month, I came here about my frustrating rejected password for Mac Mail on my SBC account. I did Keychain First Aid for the first time-it fixed it. All the other times it was rejected, especially these past couple of days, I did it and it's fine. Lately it's been eight times before I get my mail, today is four. Is there any other way to fix it and stop it for rejecting my password at least two or three times a day and multitude of times to stop it. It's annoying. Please help!

I'm not sure if you did anything in Keychain Access other than ran Keychain First Aid, and assuming you're running 10.4.x, try these steps:
*Note: These steps will remove all stored passwords and usernames that you told OS X to remember, including your user password if you use automatic login. Make sure you know all of that info before performing these steps.*
1. Make sure all applications are closed.
2. Open Keychain Access.
3. In the menu bar click Edit, then select Keychain List from the drop-down menu.
4. Single click on the keychain named "Login" and then click the - (minus) sign below the list.
5. Click done, quite Keychain Access.
6. Log out or restart your computer.
If you automatically logged in before, on restart you will need to enter your password for your user account. This article will help you set it up to automatically log you in again.
