Mail & Password save wont work after restore


Recommended Posts

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

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?

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.

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:
