Remove Password from Mail

Whenever I click on the mail icon to get email, it asks me for a password. Then, sporadically and unpredictably, while I am using mail it will ask me again for the password (and again, and again). I don't want Mail to be passworded, although I password my computer to wake it. Can someone help me turn off the password to Mail? Thanks

I had been using Telus for several years when I started to get the exact same issue with Mail prompting me for my IMAP password three or four times a day. It turned out that it was a problem at Telus's end. A call to their tech support line confirmed that they were having an issue and that it would be resolved in a few days. It was.
I've only made two changes lately;
1) I reset my SMTP for a while as I was on the road but then set it back to the original config.
2) I downloaded 10.6.4 update.
That and my own experience with my ISP leads me to believe your problem is with your ISP and not your Mac.

  • Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a pasword in the view password window and now it not asking me to remember and also it is not remembering the password when I go

    Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a password for a site that was not remembering the correct password for the "view password" window and now it does not guess the password and does not remember the password for that site. All other sites are being remembered.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After I deleted the password from the view password window.

    The saved password feature worked well, but the site I had saved the password for required that I change the password. I have found no way to update the password in Firefox. After I deleted the saved password, Firefox did not ask if I wanted the new password saved. When this happened before, I removed and re-installed Firefox, and then it worked. I hope there is another way to update a password.

  • Removing gmail from mail

    i want to remove my gmail account from mail but it doesn't even appear as an account in my settings or in mail preferences.  any ideas?

    nada in other folders.  i can't remember what the difference is between pop or imap but i originally added the account to mail on a 2006 imac that has since been stolen.  when it was stolen, i was making changes to passwords, etc. when it occured to me that i didn't want gmail being checked any more.  i first tried to eliminate the account from my phone but it wasn't there.  i forgot about it for a while until a few days ago when i was setting up my new imac for icloud.  icloud is working cherry but its the only account showing up in preferences yet my gmail emails are still appearing in mail. connection doctor only shows a connection to icloud.

  • Remove password from PDF with Reader 9.0?

    Hi,
    We would like to know if a user opens a protected PDF (with 128/256 bits encryption) in Acrobat Reader 9.0,
    can the user save a copy of the protected PDF and the new PDF is no longer password protected.
    That means I would like to check if the reader 9.0 can allow user to remove the password (Of course, permission
    should be granted when creating the protected PDF in Acrobat 9.0) from the protected PDF file.
    Thanks for your attention in advance,
    Raymond

    Reader cannot remove password protection. It only reads files.

  • Remove password from .pst file

    Dear Support,
    How to remove forgetten password from .pst file.
    I use OS win7 professional and Ms office 2013. So please help me for removing forgetting pst password.
    When I add pst file in new outlook. Then Pst file ask password.
    please help me.
    I will be thank ful to you.

    the goals of a password is to protect the contents from anyone who does not know the password.
    As far as I know, there are no tools provided by Microsoft to remove, alter or read the password from a protected pst file. It might even violate local laws to do so.

    Some third parties might claim to have tools that remove, alter or read the pst password, but I should urge you to be prudent when testing/using such tools (or paying for them).

  • Removing "REMINDERS" from Mail sidebar

    Hello, is there a way to remove the right arrow with the REMINDERS from the Mail sidebar?  I have no use for them and it would clean up the list.  Thanks!

    To remove it from the Dock (not toolbar) just drag it to the desktop - it'll disappear in a puff of virtual smoke.
    To remove from the Finder sidebar 'Places', do the same, but with the cmd (⌘) key held down.
    To stop it opening when you log on, go to System Preferences > Accounts > Login items, highlight the offending app and click the minus sign below the window.
    If it's not in login items, look for a related file in these locations (the ~/ means your home folder);
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/StartupItems
    /System/Library/LaunchAgents
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
    /System/Library/StartupItems
    Be very careful not to disturb anything else in those locations, particularly the System/ ones.
    Note; the icons in the Dock and in the Finder sidebar are only aliases (shortcuts) to the actual application in the Applications folder.

  • How do I remove password from iphone backups?

    I am currently using the original iPhone running 1.0.2. I'm just wondering how do I remove the password from iphone backups? I read on other threads that you only have to uncheck "encrypt backup" in the summary page when you connect your phone. However, I don't have this option. I only see:
    - Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
    - Sync only ticked songs and videos
    - Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbp AAC
    - Manually manage music and videos
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    If you are just trying to bypass the passcode on the phone, you can unlock it.  Plug the phone into your computer/itunes and turn the equipment on.  At the same time hold down the on/off button and the home button and do not let go.  Typically you will see the apple symbol and after a few minutes you will see a picture of a apple cord asking you to plug th ephone in to itunes.  unplug the phone from your computer and replug.  You should then be able to restore the phone to original manufacturing setings using the apple software on your computer.
    If you are trying to bypass the APPLE user id and password, that's a whole new set of issues.
