Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.2 - Mail.app doesn't saving password

[TyShkan]

Hi!
Each time when I start the program it asks the password for pop3 and smtp of each account. Passwords in the keychains. Removing of a plist-file doesn't help :(

TyShkan,

I had exactly the same problem.

Go to your utilities folder and open keychain access. You should see your pop and smtp addresses in the list. Double click on each, go to the Access Control tab and check 'Allow all applications to access this item'.

Mail should work correctly now! :)

Affirmative! I had the same problem in the past. Voyn1x instructions will work!

I also had this problem, on Tiger and with Cyberduck on Leopard. Start the Keychain tool (in Utilities) and delete the passwords which are used in mail. If the password is entered too often it will possibly saved more than one time. This error also could appear due the mail account itself, f.e. if the mail server has a problem.

haha, Voyn1x was a bit quicker this time ;-)

I have no idea what causes this on hackintosh, i've had no problems with mail on real macs at work. :-/

Works good, thanks! :)

Oh thaaank you, very much. And I thought I'm too stupid for Mail ;-)

BTW: @Zeph: Is there a way to fix this for your next release? Would be great!

[NaNo]

Thankyou....

You may wish to try Microsoft Entourage which comes with Office 2008. It's my favorite e-mail client for Mac.

Hi all

I have also recognised on my AMD machine this issue, however not on my Intel machine. After several hours of searching the internet I suppose it should have something to do with Code Signing! If there is not a recognised Intel processor mail.app won't be code signed and key chain ignore this application as an trusted one. Therefore it don't grant access to the key within the key chain.

I'm not an expert, so I also would be grateful, if someone could go further on my hint. Here are some links, I've found:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Security/Conceptual/CodeSigningGuide/CodeSigningGuide.pdf

I hope, it is allowed to post links. Otherwise, mod delete and sorry!

Thanks, Televisor

Man I hate that. My intel machine didn't give me this problem but my AMD rig does. A while back I fiddled with keychain access but didn't spend to much time with it. This fixed my problem. I appriciate it.
