Hi wammuggers. I find that every so often my PowerPC G4 laptop
(10.5.2 ) asks me for my password for my mail account, with Westnet
and when I give it I am told that is not correct .
I am asked again. This is then in a loop and after two or three
attempts, giving the correct password I mentally say Get S,,,,,D and
go away. :-( when I come back all is well and everything is working
correctly. :-0 What has happened please.
Hi Mac,
If you are sure the Mail POP account has all the correct settings, and
the password is correct.
1. Quit Mail
2. Open Keychain Access which (if it's not showing on the top Menu of
the desktop) is in Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access.app and
manually delete the Keychain entry for the mail account.
3. Restart Mail and it will ask for the Mail account's password
again, type in the password and tick
'Remember this password in my keychain'.
Now the password should be stored correctly and Keychain access will
do the email password in the "background" when you check for new mail.
Cheers,
Ronni
