Suddenly my mail will not recognize my password. What do I do?

Suddenly my mail rejects my password. What's wrong?

I just added me.com email to my windows live mail. Windows live needs to download the folders before I can read the messages in this account. It goes looking looking for the folders but gets and error message, server has rejected your login for the me account. It will not take my login but I can login through apple. I hope someone can help me get this fixed.

Since I upgraded to ISo6 my iPhone 4s will not retain Wifi passwords

Hello
I'm hope that someone can help as this problem is driving me NUTS.
Since I upgraded both my Iphone 4s and Ipad 3 to ISO6. I've had nothing but problems with Wi-Fi access, inititally neither machine would remember the home networks (or any others) then suddenly the IPad3 fixed itself but still my Iphone 4s will not retain the password.
It was always able without any problems to retain the passwords for any Wi-Fi networks before the upgrade - but no more.
I've tried pretty much everything that I read about from a reboot, resetting the wifi setting, resetting all settings, a factory reset and a restore - nothing helps! The iphone connects to the network no problem - but if you go out or if the phone locks and more than 30 minutes goes by - it'll have forgotten the networks and will require that you reenter the password. Which is getting more than annoying.
Given what I've tried I'm thinking that the software somehow got screwed up a little when it installed and I need to completely reinstall the ISO. I also noticed the personnel hotspot is missing!
Any help really appreciated as it's driving me crasy.
Richard.

I read someone said you can tap on "other" when selecting which wifi you connect to and then entering the exact wifi name of the network you wish to join and the password and then joining that network allowed the password to be saved. Also with iOS 6 the minimum length of the password needs to be 8 characters. Maybe you password on your router is less than 8 characters long

My mac had it's original software re-installed by Apple. since they did this, my airbook pro will not recognize my iphone in Itunes, and I cannot update the latest version of itunes, because it says I'm not running the latest version mac software????

Mail will not remember account password LION

Just migrated to new Macbook Pro. Apple Mail account is set up but it will not remember the password. I have another account set up in Mail which is working fine.
Ruzzer

After much frustration and googling, I ended up finding my own solution.
My situation came when I replaced my MAIL folder with another mail folder from another account.
At first the mail account acted normally, but the next day after starting the mac my mail kept asking for account passwords on ALL of my mail accounts (a mix of IMAP and POP3).
Here are the fixes I tried but didnt work
KeyChain Access = First Aid repair (did nothing and found no errors)
Deleted my Mail plist file (again nothing changed)
Triple checked my email account passwords (no change)
The one thing that I noticed was that most people where told to delete the Mail keychain password entry in keychain. The thing is with my keychain there was NO MAIL KEYCHAIN. I think this is the big problem.
To remedy this I tried the KeyChain Access FIRST AID REPAIR again, but this time I had a look at the Key chain log and found there was over 26,000 entried. I figured they where only log files and just deleted all file. Restarted the mac and turned on mail, it will ask for password but this time it remembers the password!!!
Here is a step by step for you all:
WARNING: this will nuke all your stored keychains, be prepared to re enter any passwords or user names you may have stored.
1. Open Keychain Access (Use spotlight and search "Keychain")
2. Go to Keychain prefs (Command + ,)
3. In the GENERAL tab press the "Rest My Default Keychains" button
4. Enter your password (Press OK)
5. There will be an option to view log files, press this button
6. Select all files and delete them.
7. Restart your mac.
8. Open mail, it will ask for your mail account password
9. enjoy the stress of email again!
I thought someone else my find this useful and save them some headaches.

Apple Mail will not store my password

10.8.4 Mail will not keep 3 of my account's passwords. They are all IMAP hosted at Dreamhost. I can access them on my iPhone, iPad, and web just fine. I've:
- rebooted
- reset the passwords at Dreamhost
- deleted the accunts from Mail and added them back
- run the keychain firstaid (no joy). The passowrds do not ever show up in keychain
The Console continually shows:
     9/4/13 10:47:17.197 AM Mail[4619]: Error updating the value of the Internet password for [email protected]@mail.xxxxxxxx.com: -25295
     9/4/13 10:47:17.197 AM Mail[4619]: Error finding an Internet password for [email protected]@mail.xxxxxxx.com: -25295
The password field under Mail ->Preferences-> Accounts is blank, even when I retype it, save it, click a different account, and immediately look at the problem account again
The weird part is that my mail comes in sporadically, but then Mail will ask for the password, I key it in, and immediately the same box pops up asking for the password. It's like there is a "glitch" with it saving it into the Keychain, but like I said, Keychain First Aid didn't pick up anything.
Any thoughts?

@Eric- Keychain wasn't locked
@Linc- Thanks. I did that and got the following from the Console:
9/4/13 1:51:17.023 PM com.apple.SecurityServer[16]: Sandbox denied authorizing right      'system.keychain.create.loginkc' by client '/Applications/Mail.app' [336]
9/4/13 1:51:18.245 PM sandboxd[495]: ([336]) Mail(336) deny authorization-right-obtain      system.keychain.create.loginkc
So i figured that the Keychain was corrupted. I tried FirstAid again, but it didn't flag anything, so I deleted the Keychain file.
Update: Ok, so after resetting the Keychain and getting error messages that the Keychain file was invalid, I figured the file was corrupted. I reset the default Keychain (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1544) and then ran Keychain First Aid (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7296) and that fixed it. All of my Keychain passwords are wiped now, but Mail is communicating with Keychain just fine.

Since upgrading to Mavericks entered calendar settings will not stay applied. Help Please!

Since upgrading to Mavericks my entered calendar settings (alerts specifically) will not stay applied. I am using the calendar that came installed on my MacBook Pro w/retina display. This is an important issue for me. I need my calendar and scheduled reminders. I can enter an appointment which stays in place but when I enter an additional reminders and click the "apply" button the reminders I entered simply disappear. The appointment stays but the reminders do not.
Thank you!
Steve

Thx for the star, but Barney-15E is more helpful to you.
Show him some love too
When you repair the permissions also repair the 'user permissions' too…

The paragraph below the image explains how to do it in 10.7, Mavericks is similar. Don't fear the Terminal, it's just a shortcut to the reset tool that Apple hid.

Since upgrading to 10.9.4 dvds will not load

After upgrading to OS X 10.9.4 onto my 2011 iMac, I tried to load a DVD. It whirled around and then got stuck. It took me about 3 hrs to finally get it unstuck. Now it will not accept DVD's at all, just whirls them around and pops them out. CD's it will take. I then upgraded the software for 10.9.4 and tried again. nothing. I want to install Photoshop and can't get the install disc to run. I'd appreciate some ideas. Nanci

Since upgrading to Firefox 36, preference panes will not open properly

When I open Firefox preferences, the only tab that opens is GENERAL. All the others (Tabs, Search, Content, Applications, Privacy, Security, Sync and Advanced do not open. The window is too small to view any of the content, "maximize" does not work, and the window cannot be resized.

I installed No Squint, but all it does is change the size of the font. This is easily accomplished without any add-ons at all (by using the plus or minus sign with the command key). What I am trying to do is change the font on webpages - from Times Roman to Helvetica. But this seems an impossible task.
I am grateful for your help but it amuses me that whenever something goes wrong immediately following an upgrade, I am told I must have corrupt files. Could the problem not be with the upgrade itself? In future I will wait until all the bugs are ironed out and considerable time has passed before installing a new Firefox version.

Mail will not recognize mailboxes backed up before erase and install.

Since my computer was starting to slow down, I figured it was a good time for the old erase and install. Rather than backup the whole "Mail" folder in the library as I should have done, I only backed up the "Mailboxes" and the "POP-address@..." folders. I also backed up the plist folder to go in /preferences/mail.
Now mail won't recognize my old mailboxes. The preferences list clearly worked, and my mailbox folders even appear on the left in mail, but none of my messages are there. When I try to use the "import mailboxes" command in mail, it says that "No valid mail for mac os x were found." The messages are clearly in these folders because if I double click on an individual message, I can see it.
Please help me to get back to my former world. I miss IMAP.

This doesn’t make sense. com.apple.mail.plist, if that’s what you mean, is a file, not a folder, and it should be in ~/Library/Preferences/, not in “/preferences/mail”.
When I try to use the "import mailboxes" command in mail, it
says that "No valid mail for mac os x were found."
Pay attention to the instructions that Mail displays when choosing Mail for Mac OS X as the data format. In the next step, Mail wants you to select the folder that contains the mailboxes to be imported (i.e. the folder where the .mbox folders to be imported reside), not the .mbox folders themselves nor the Messages folders within them. If you select the wrong folder, Mail says “No valid Mail for Mac OS X files were found” because it cannot find any .mbox folders within the folder you’re selecting.
Yes, sorry, the file is in library/preferences.
Your suggestion about paying attention to the folder that the mailboxes are IN worked like a charm. The only problem is that now I accidentally deleted my trash mailbox and can't figure out how to create a new one.
Thank you so much for your help, and I apologize for my ineptitude.
