SBC Global/Yahoo password problems

[aRKay]

Entourage - X 2004 has been nagging me to enter my password for several
days and thought Entourage was suffering a bad case of CRS (Can't
Remember Stuff).

It may not be Entourage as the following just showed up on MacFixIt.

If you are having problems, you may want to drop them a note

"Many users are suddenly unable to send/receive messages without being
prompted for their passwords continuously."

If you are having a problem with your username/password on an SBC

Try opening the Keychain Access application. In there, there is a
Keychain first Aid command that can allow you to fix thekeychain. There
might be a corruption in there.

If it doesn't work, you can always erase the entry for this account from
the keychain to let Entourage create a new one the next time you enter
the password.

Thanks for the tip. As long as I have been using OSX this is the first
time I have every opened the Keychain Access in the Utilities folder. I
could not get the Keychain first aid to verify or repair anything and
figured I better not mess with this app since it seems to be working
with everything but SBC/Yahoo mail. Per the recent MacFixIt blurb, the
problem maybe with SBC.

Yeah, I just saw that...
Runnign the keychain first aid once in a while is still a good thing to
do as far as maintenance is concerned though,
