[X-Apps] 1. mail.app losing passwords

[sc at creativeartlink.com]

thank you tom. i hadn't done as you suggested ...

i backed up & deleted my keychain preferences ...and my keychain 
plist....
this rebuilt the keychain & i am now entering a password to allow me in 
it...which i haven't had to do before...
it recreated all of my mail accounts and after a bit of instability on 
2 accounts they stabilized as before and the same account is causing 
problems again.... and  again...and again :-(.

did you mean trash the entire keychain app? if so how do i replace it 
..does OSX auto rebuild it... i have the disc for Jaguar but i am 
currently using 10.2.3...

thank you
