Hi,
Every time I send an email from my iCloud mail account, OS X keeps asking for my username and password to my computer. Why is this?

Thanks

Update your login data for the email account and check your keychain for duplicate or conflicting data. Also check for Aaple software updates.
 
Password Prompt Solution

I assume you are referring to sending a message from Mail with your iCloud account. You might want to verify/fix your keychain in Keychain Access-Keychain First Aid. If this does not help you can simply remove the account and readd. Being its an IMAP account you won't loose any email.
