Removed mail account still asking for password

Not sure this is the proper place to ask.
Recently I have removed one of my email account from mail but every time I open the mail program it is asking for the password from that deleted account.
I am using MBA mid 2011 with Lion OS (software up to date).
Thanks in advanced.

But with Mountain Lion, there is no way to select the account (because it is deleted).
How do I delete the smpt server from an account that has already been deleted in Mountain Lion??

Mail Account Keeps Asking for Password

My new iPhone 4 is great, but after setting up my mail accounts it keeps periodically asking for the password for that account. I can receive mail, but can't send it out. I have entered the correct password a number of times - even confirming it on my laptop via keychain. Any suggestions???

Kevin:
Did you fill in your password for outgoing mail as well? If you set up a smtp account via itunes sync, I found only the receiving email password was filled in. I had the same issue until I looked closer at the accounts set up and noticed that the outgoing mail password was empty. My .mac account was fine, but my other accounts all had the same empty sending password empty.
Hope this helps.

Mail.app still asks for passwords, i tried everything !

each time I launch mail, it asks me for my passwords (3 for pop accounts + 1 for smtp). I tried to delete the preferences, I tried to delete the accounts and re-create them, I tried "SOS trousseau d'acces", I put the file login.keychain on the desktop, system.keychain too, I tried disk utilility to repair the authorizations, I reboot each time, NO WAY, it drives me crazy ! it looks like every change has no effect on the "trousseau d'acces".

You might try deleting the file located at:
/Users/cynthiabartz/Library/Mail/[email protected]/Deleted%20Messages.mbox/Messages/29051.emlx
If the quicklook daemon is crashing on it, Mail might be too.

Mail won't send/ download with BT yahoo pop mail account, constantly asks for password... any solutions?

I have a problem with Mail at the moment - it wont log into / send with a BT yahoo pop account. Hours of uninstalling and reinstalling/ checking it hasnt changed servers etc... any ideas ? This is a recurrent but intermittent issue. Thanks!

Replying to my own post. The problem was in the Mail.app Preferences file (com.apple.mail.plist). It had become corrupted. I compared this file with a recent backup and discovered an inconsistency. I quit Mail, deleted the problem (two) lines from com.apple.mail.plist, restarted Mail and all was well. Used BBEdit to so this. Simply deleting com.apple.mail.plist and reentering all server info, etc. in Mail would also have done the trick—though with additional work.

I had the icloud account changed on the iPad (have added new ID and deleted old one). However when updating/downloading , it still asks for password to the previous account...?

I’m giving my ipad to my sister and I had the icloud account changed. I have added new ID and deleted the old one. However when updating and downloading apps, it still asks for password to the previous account. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks very much!

Maybe you should set it up as new device again:

Apps are tied to the Apple ID they were bought with and can not be shared with other devices that have a different Apple ID.

You aren't going to be able to delete it without the correct password. If it's your ID, you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If it isn't your ID, you will have to get the password for the person who owns the ID. There's no way around this and no one else can help.

So I changed my apple id account and i was trying to update my instagram app but when I tried to, it brought up the old account and asked for password?? help!!!!

help!!!! So i Changed my apple id account and i was trying to update my instagram app but when i tried to, it brought up the old account and asked for password, help what is going on, what should i do??

- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

Yahoo account keeps asking for password on apple mail

hi im running mountain lion and my yahoo account keeps asking for my password every now and then and its getting really annoying. i enter the right password but then it will ask for it again later. its only with my yahoo account. can anyone help? thank you!

go to applications > utilities > keychain access
you may need to enter your password to unlock the lock in the left upper corner.
under keychains select login
under category select passwords
make sure that there are no duplicate entries for yahoo mail. If there are, delete them
if that doesn't work, delete all of the yahoo entries, and go back in mail.app > preferences and delete the yahoo account and reenter the account info from scratch.
doing keychain first aid wouldn't hurt either.
in keychain access, do option-command-A
verify and then repair.
this will probably fix it.

Mail 7.2 & Yahoo Mail IMAP keeps asking for password.

It's off and on - mostly off. Basic troubleshooting has been done, checked settings, password, etc. More often than not I can't send messages from my Yahoo account using Mail 7.2. Pop-up continually appears asking for password (which is already there *****) but to no avail. Account appears to be off-line. I've logged-in using Internet Accounts in System Preferences numerous times. Currently I'm sending mail but all day today and over the weekend, not so much. What's the likely problem?

Not sure what's going on but it certainly appears to be a Yahoo issue (not an email client issue).
I'm seeing the same problem with Thunderbird and MS Outlook mail clients for Mac for the past couple of days.

How do I stop Mail from constantly asking for passwords

I know this has come up lots of times but nothing I try fixes the issue. Mac Mail constantly asks me for passwords.
Hotmail is the worst for some reason. I have fixed keychain, removed password from keychain, changed password, removed account and added again and still it goes on and on, several times an hour!
I have exhausted all advice i found on here and i can't think of anything else to try. it is most frustrating. has anyone found a new fix for this issue?
also, i have no idea where to post this as nothing comes up when searching for mail or email !

Have you tried a reset?

ICloud Account Keeps Asking for Password in System Preferences

I am extremely frustrated with iCloud. I'm on Lion 10.7.3.
Two main issues:
System Preferences, iCal, and Contacts keeps asking for my iCloud account password over and over again. It will not retain the password whne I type it in. I know the password is correct because when I type it in everytime the services update and retain the password until I log out and log back in.
I tried to delete the iCloud account and set it up again to see if that would fix the issue, but I cannot delete the account. In System Preferences I have tried to delete the account using the minus sybmol at the bottom and have tried the "Sign Out" method. The account disappears until I restart System Preferences. I tried deleting the account and rebooting, but it is still there.
Any ideas? I would love to know if there is a way to override all this in Terminal.

Guest account is asking for password

Hi guys,
So I was trying to connect to the internet at uconn from my guest account and it says that i have to verify a certificate. This is normal and on my main account i usually just do it. In my guest account though, when i try to verify it, it asks for verfication. It asks for a password for my guest account but I never set up a passoword for the guest account.

Thank You
I still haven't tried it yet since for some reason, the guest account does not always ask for verfication of the certificate.
Once the certificate is properly verified, it should not ask for it again until the certificate expires, usually a number of years.

Cannot setup email account always asking for password

Just got the IPad3 and setting up my email account. I tried setting it up the same way as my IPhone. Had the email account and password entered but when I exit, it gives me a message saying that it may not be able to send or received mail. I don't know what else is missing from the setup.
When I try to open my email, it always asks for the password, entered the password again but does not open my email.
Please help.
Thank you.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!
