Lilrich Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hello, Last week i had to do a complete restore from time machine after some files got corrupt on my computer now mail wont save my passwords. I have deleted the contents of the keychain, repaired permissions with no luck. Has anyone had this before or know what i can do? Many Thanks Richard Howell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Keychain is my first instinct. Did you try the Keychain First Aid assistant (pictured below)? Or just deleting your "login" keychain, logging out, and logging back in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliott Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Is Mail saving anything in the keychain at all, or does nothing even show up in the keychain after entering the password and telling Mail to remember it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilrich Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Is Mail saving anything in the keychain at all, or does nothing even show up in the keychain after entering the password and telling Mail to remember it? Mail just wont save to the keychain AT ALL press the tick box and it just brings the box back up asking for the password with they keychain empty.

Elliott Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Okay. :p I've just seen Mail do this before. It was saving, but for some reason wasn't giving itself access to the keychain entry it was creating. And it's just localized to Mail? All other applications are saving passwords just fine? I've looked all over Google and I'm seeing a few people with the same problem but what seems like no solution. :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
