Mail (using a gmail account) keeps requiring a new application specific password

Are you using the same app-specific password on more than one device? That gave me problems when Gmail first introduced it, since then I've created separate passwords for each device (although I use the same one for each service on the same device, e.g. my Mac Mini uses the same app-specific password for Mail, Calendar, Google Talk, Google Docs - then my MacBook Air uses its own single dedicated password for all those services).

Since setting it up that way maybe a year or so ago, I haven't had a hitch.

 

I have the same problem - using a MobileMe account

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks

 

The only thing I can think of is to even use different application specific passwords for both ingoing traffic (IMAP) and outgoing settings (SMPT). So you get 4 passwords for 2 accounts, etc.

Works for me!
