I permanently solved it using\u00a0these<\/a>\u00a0instructions, in particular the ones under\u00a0repair access control<\/strong>. In summary this is what you need to do:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open your keychain on client.<\/li>\n
  2. Select\u00a0login<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Passwords<\/strong>\u00a0respectively on the left panel boxes.<\/li>\n
  3. For each and every email account, get info (command I) and under Access Control, add the Mail.app.<\/li>\n
  4. I noticed I had more than one entry for each of my mail accounts, one having mail.app, and the other not. All of them need to have Mail.app added, if not already present.<\/li>\n
  5. Launch Mail, and if it does not readily connect, hit the ‘~’ sign next to the one of the inbox’es. Enter password(s) for one last time, then it sticks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Yes this is a bug. Unfortunately, my respect for Apple has taken a serious hit in the last two years. It no longer ‘just works’.<\/p>\n
