This morning Eudora repeatedly asked for passwords for each personality.
It has not previously done this.
How can I stop it?

Miraculously, it went away after a restart of my computer

Check the box for remembering password. If it's already checked, try
toggling it off and back on.

Some servers do this. I get a lot of reports from clients of mine using
Apple's Mail program, with some IAP's POP servers rejecting the password over
and over again for a while. After a while - a few minutes to a few hours the
client and server programs talk to each other intelligibly and pass the
password properly.

I hadn't heard of it from a Eudora user before.

You never can truly tell when you have run out of invisible ink.
