I have several email accounts through my ISP. Multiple times throughout the day, for whatever reason, the attempts to access the mail servers result in an error. El Capitan always processes this error as a bad password, and prompts me to update the password.
This used to occur in Yosemite, but in a much more subtle and less invasive way. Yosemite would create a dialog box to enter/confirm the password, and often it would not even pop up over the current (active) screen.
Since installing the El Capitan developer preview, I now get an audible alert and a popup that brings the entire Mail screen to the front, and I get a dialog box like this:
Clicking CLOSE closes the dialog box, but leaves the Mail screen up and over whatever I was most recently working on. The CONTINUE option presents another dialog box where I can enter or confirm the password.
I have looked through all of the settings in all of the places that I can think of to stop the popups and the audible alerts, but haven't been able to find the settings. I would be perfectly content to not be bothered with any of this until I return to the Mail app, where, if these errors have occurred, I could deal with it then.
Has anybody seen these popups? And more importantly, does anyone know where I can turn this behavior off?
