Tim and Jeffrey, I believe I have resolved the password authentication issue in Apple Mail with the guidance you each provided. I am using an imap account associated with my former university, which does indeed require SSL . Per your suggestions, I explored the account preferences and made a simple change under SSL authentication from Kerberos to simply password. This small change seems to have resolved the issue. Again, thank you for helping to point me in the right direction.

I've not seen iMap like GMail have Kerberos issues. That's not normal behavior. I agree with Jeffrey's suggestion to take a look in your Account settings within Mail preferences. Some iMap accounts require SSL which, when configured appropriately, will fix that sort of issue. HTH. Later...

I know that every time Mail asks me for a password or something, when I enter it, it is remembered and I don't have to enter it again.

However, there does not appear to be an option to discontinue my Kerberos authentication password request by checking/unchecking an option to do so. This may be a safeguard I will simply have to come to appreciate/tolerate.

Normal computing behavior, right? However, if I wish to enter Apple Mail without having to always enter this information, is there a way to do so? Additionally, while on the topic of Apple Mail, is there a way to identify the sender of a message when reviewing messages in thread mode with headers turned off?
