"mail" password

External Since: Jun 22, 2006 Posts: 7

Apple Mail (2.0.7), preinstalled on my iMac (OS 10.4.6), goes along
dutifully downloading my mail, except for periods of time that it
insists on my entering the password. I do so, checking the box,
"Remember the password" and it will give me my mail, then ask for it
again in a few minutes or hours. It does that for a few times, and then
goes back to simply delivering the mail w/o asking for a password.
Any ideas?

My Comcast email does that, too, only using Entourage. I think it's your
ISP.
