What is the point of telling Mail to save my account passwords, if it keeps asking for it everytime it happens to get rejected? I have a crappy dial-up (28.8) connection, and every once in a while when Mail checks one of my accounts, my password gets rejected. Then Mail gives me that popup box asking me to re-enter my password for "xxxx" account. I always check the box to save my password, and it works fine until the next time it gets rejected. And no, it's not one particular account this happens with.
Try running the Keychain First Aid utility <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107234>

This might help. Taken from the Jan '05 issue of MacAddict:
"The Forgetful Gatekeeper":
" SYMPTOM: Mail, iChat, or iDisk keeps asking for your password. You keep telling it to remember your password, but it never does -- and it keeps pestering you."
" DIAGNOSIS: Your mac's keychain file is damaged."
" PRESCRIPTION: Repair the Keychain file. Download Apple's free Keychain First Aid Utility from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107234. Then mount the disk image and launch Keychain First Aid. In the resulting interface, type your user name and password in the appropriate fields, select Repair, and then click Start. Once it's finished, your Keychain should have the memory of an elephant."
So hope that helps..
