Why is customer e-mail apple suddenly not remember passwords from email accounts other than iCloud?

I have MacBook Pro 3 to all the excellent - 1 since 2009.  Suddenly the Apple Mail Client is asked for a password for each e-mail account, except for the iCloud account.

I know that the email and password is correct, because my iPhone 6 s email client continues to download and send emails from all accounts in mail without problem.  In addition, I can go directly to the e-mail page in the browser, for example, www.hotmail.com to that email account and the MacBook Pro connection directly on this page.

I tried to close all the computers down to reboot hard and using disk utility to check the disks.  I also changed all the other 3 accounts 3 times: and won't do again - too much work and does not.

I downloaded Malwarebytes for Mac directly from Malewarebytes and updated definitions and ran the program.  The results were negative.  This shit started after RAW last download security in which a group has found a security flaw in one of the types of files to Apple.  I can't help but wonder if that had anything to do with it.

Anyone had this happen; and someone has other suggestions as to what's going on please?

PS I have a time Machine that is supposed to be back up all 3 of Macbook Pro. (1 to) but I have never tried to use a backup, then it would be something new for me, if anyone thinks it's necessary.

It is quite common. Mail most likely simply lost the password and must be entered again. However, sometimes it is the Keychain Access.app.

Windows in the Menu bar select connection doctor. You will see two entries for each account - 1) reception and 2) sending SMTP.

The Red icons will tell you where the password is missing.

• Incoming is set on the main window of account under the account information tab

• The outgoing is set under parameter edit SMTP.

CHANGE THE INCOMING SETTINGS

In the window account under the account information tab, enter the password.

Click to save your password.

Check the connection doctor to see if your incoming connection now works.

CHANGE THE SMTP SETTINGS

In the window accounts > outgoing mail SMTP server: Select this option to list edit the SMTP... of popup.

Select account from the list. (It is not uncommon to find additional SMTP servers listed. When you delete the account, E-mail does not delete smtp info. You may need to do some cleaning in the list to remove the extra cost).

On the Advanced tab:

Apple uses by default the default ports (25 465, 587), but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see which port they recommend. For example, Gmail like 465, 587 Outlook.com.

Check if your server requires SSL.

Username. Enter the full e-mail address for example.  [email protected]

Add password if it is empty. (If you have configured authentication two step, you will need a password specific app)

(there is no registration not required when adding password here0)

Open connection doctor to the title of the window in the menu bar.

Think you that green light now for your SMTP account?

If you still have problems...

Keychain problems

This to fix the repeated requests of password...

Open Keychain Access, in Applications/Utilities

Search for your account. You might find several. Normally you have not more than two. An incoming and an outgoing.

Registration by e-mail have blue @.

Example:

Delete all entries. The keychain is not smart and keep all the old entries when you add / modify a password.

Open Mail and enter the password of your account. Enter account account information and settings to modify SMTP Advanced tab tab

Password should stick now.

Note: Keychain first aid no longer exists in El Capitan.

  • Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to fix it?

    No Option to install repair - SAD

    Hello

    Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.

    I recently had a problem where Vista Business 64-bit would only boot to a black screen with a mobile cursor - KSOD.   Who, in searching the Web I found is a fairly common problem with Vista.  I discovered that my only option was about to reinstall Vista CLEAN and all the other programs I had installed under it.  I can't believe that Microsoft released the 'repair installation option"similar to that of Windows XP, where you can hit the"R"key during installation and we left with nothing but the"System Restore"options and"Startup Repair ".  Neither of which has helped in my situation.  Since then, this was a dual system boot with XP Pro, then any restore point has been removed from the partition to Vista anytime, I started another recognized problem, by Microsoft, which Microsoft has made no significant effort to fix, in addition to recommending that you hide the partion Vista in XP - a whole of XP.  That beats a little the entire purpose of dual boot.

    As I tried to start in safe mode, it left me at the same point as a normal boot - black screen with a cursor.  I tried ctrl + alt + delete and nothing. Two Windows RE options did not help me.  This left me no option but to the completely reinstall Vista.   Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.. Please don't tell me that it is because Vista uses an image file instead of an installation as XP system.   I see no other reason for not allowing the upgrade of outside BONE in addition to Microsofts greed and paranoia that he can transform the operating system easier to install illegally.  I hope that some third party has actually changed the Vista installation routine to allow you to install Vista on itself, because as it is, it's really hard for me to even recommend Vista as the operating system or install any where else, if not the only recourse after loading OS, is to reinstall completely.

    Adobe, Autodesk, and almost all other software publishers... allow you to perform a "REPAIR" of their software installation, if something prevents you to load after installation.  Even MS Office has a routine repair.  Ms has an internal version of the Setup routine which allows outside the OS upgrade option that you want to "Upgrade" / repair? ".  If not, why?

    -Todd w.

    "Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair."

    «.. . After using XP's repair function, the operating system itself would become less stable and frankly not in a good state of repair. »

    As Todd, is the answer.

    "This response does not hold water as on one of my computers I've been running Windows XP for about four years now, after a repair install.

    Then, you were lucky.  Try to replace the system files on a computer that does not start even at a desk or safe mode usually will get a return to office, but will probably repeat the same problem in a few weeks.  Tech professional would only use this function to retrieve the data before a complete reinstallation.

  • do not remember passwords

    Since the upgrade to 12 FF Firefox remembered passwords from PREVIOUS sites, but when I update the password on a site that he recalled earlier, it does not ask me with "do you want to update the password for this site" as it was, or it will offer to remember passwords for NEW sites. I have nothing in my list of exceptions, I don't do private browsing.

  • In Windows Mail, I can not send or forward emails to myself

    Hello

    Recently I can not send or forward emails to myself.  I use Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Mail.  My Windows Mail comes through Verizon ISP.  The emails I send or transmit to myself are in my Inbox from Verizon, but they do not come in my Inbox Windows, even if it shows that I have "new message".  Even when I try to send my Verizon Inbox to myself, the email will not come, but it will tell me that I have new messages.

    Can you help me?

    Thank you.

    Nadia Macheska

    Well, babacar, you were lucky that Verizon was trying to help out you.  When I called AT & T, they told me that was a problem of software 3rd party, they could not help me, and I should call Microsoft.  Like you, I am on disability and can't afford to pay the costs of assistance.  So, it is certainly a problem of Microsoft.  Maybe on one of the updates it I screwed up.

  • Just send a question to the support site that I can NOT connect on my email account after auto update of 38.3.0, cannot connect to my account to check the issue!

    I just posted a question on the last update automatic 38.3.0 it is possible to log into different e-mail accounts in a profile, only the first e-mail account. My support mozilla account is linked to one of the email accounts that I can NOT connect to. Can't connect to this email account to check the issue. Your last 38.3.0 Thunderbird is useless because it is no longer possible to log in different e-mail accounts in a profile, and your support solution is useless because you need to connect to the e-mail account to check the issue.
    How to proceed?

    You can change your email associated with your media profile.
    I have 38.3.0 and I can access all my email accounts I suggest you try the initial tests:

    Start T-bird with disabled modules.
    If it works on your module is to blame and you need to activate one by one.

    Start your operating system in safe mode with active network.
    If it works probably your antivirus is blocking or delaying. (Or driver).

    Firefox is not saving password. It's not even giving me a prompt to save.

    You have checked also for the problems caused by hardware acceleration?

    It is possible that there is a problem with key3db and signons.sqlite files that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.

    In the Firefox profile folder, rename the files key3db and signons.sqlite.

    You can add .old files (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) names or move them to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.

    You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.

    If that worked, then you can delete the renamed files that are no longer needed.

    See:

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

    You can also try resetting Firefox:
