The mail icon keeps bouncing up asking me for my password all the time how do i disable this? It also says its the wrong password but i checked in my settings and there all right.
Thoughts
I've done everything that everyone suggested and still no success. I have Time Warner Cable and this problem started on the Monday that Wall Street stocks started tanking when the first bailout plan failed. Funny thing happened though is that only 1 account out of my 3 accounts kept asking for my password. Then when Time Warner tech support came over to replace all my cables and cable modem, now the 2 accounts that was working before is now asking me for the password whereas the 1 inactive account is now working fine. Complete opposite effect. No changes were made to Mail settings when this occurred. Hope this is a clue for some of you.
Followup to my comments to the length of characters in the password.. Well, password popups are back, but not near as severe as they were - maybe only 3 or 4 times a day. Still puzzling.
I am doomed:( I've asked this very same question and no call back from Apple and no answer yet on the discussion board.. I don't use comcast I don't know what it is.. so that is not my problem.. I've deleted mail from the applications and reloaded it.. still not working.. keychain repair says there are no problems... I don't use mobileme.. why does my error say mobileme has rejected my password
Also have Verizon acct. and a Sprint phone. If I delete the email acct. from the phone, the Mail pop-ups stop. For now, I do not need email on my phone anyway, and would much rather use my Mac w/o having the pop-ups. I believe it is as stated by another in the group, a conflict where your POP mail is being accessed by 2 different sources - your Mac, and your cell phone.
As far as the link between email on the cell phone and on the Mac, I have stopped the password requests by setting the cell phone (Samsung Instinct) to not automatically get email. Once the phone is set to get new mail manually by hitting 'refresh', the pop-ups in Mail stopped. Our other cell is an LG Lotus, which does not have a manual setting. That one still causes pop-ups, even if Mail on the Mac is set to manually get new mail. So it only works if the phone is set to manually get mail.
I believe this is all caused by multiple sources hitting up the server (Verizon, Comcast, etc.) for new mail. Too many request (whether it's from cell phones or multiple computers), and it triggers a request for authentication.
Hope this helps!
