After recently upgrading to Maverick my desktop computer and all other devices will not recieve emails from my IMAP account, it keeps asking me for a password which has never been changed in 8yrs, please help as it was my business account from so long ago and I use it for general 'stuff' and my 'me' account for personal

Cheers

Since it is affecting all your devices also, try going to the e-mail web site and seeing if you can log in there. Who is the e-mail provider?

Try deleting the pass word from Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.

If that doesn't work, try deleting and adding back the e-mail account.
