Email now asks for password every time I try to access it. Getting very annoying

All of a sudden I have to enter my email passwords each time I try to access my account. I check the box that says save in Keychain access and it makes no difference. Sometimes it asks for my password 3 or 4 times.

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

I had this problem with outgoing e-mail. The fix for me was to go to Mail-Preferences and check to see that the password is there for incoming. For outgoing, click on the STMP for your e-mail account (be sure it is the same one for the highlighted account) and when you click on the arrows there is an "edit STMP" option. CLick on that and hit Advance and be sure your password is in there. Mine wasn't,so I just entered it and now it doesn't ask anymore.
