Hi Stuart,

Just to reiterate my problem: I was having to enter the password for a secondary e-mail account every time I started Mail.

To you questions: did you (a) quit Mail and relaunch after first aid and (b) did you rebook the iMac after first aid? YES but it did not fix the problem

On Rod Findlay's suggestion I delete any reference to the account in keychain, started Mail and entered the password checking the remember box.

That has fixed the problem, which I put up with for week and found very annoying.



Regards,

Adrian

Delete any reference to the account in keychain and try adding it again now.

Try repairing your keychain. Keychain First Aid can be invoked from the Keychain menu in the App.

I recently set up a secondary E-Mail account with Westnet and for some reason I have to put the password in every time mail starts up, I have checked the "Remember this Password" box several times to no avail. I have also noticed that in Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Password field, when I put the password in it goes blank again when I save it. Does anyone out there have a solution to this problem?

iMac G5, OS 10.5.6, Mail V3.5.
