So I guess my main question is, why would letting other apps have access to the password for the incoming and outgoing mail servers solve the problem? Is there some other app than Apple Mail—such as, oh, I don't know, say a python script or something—that comes into play after the first time Mail sends the password and it gets missed because the mail server wasn't listening right then? Isn't Apple Mail the only app that's involved?</p></blockquote><p></p>
