[X-Newbies] How to unlock keychain and Apple Mail problem!

[Patty Woodbury]

I wish I knew, too, Mark! I have used keychain first aid, reset my  
password 1 zillion times in Apple Mail and I still keep getting asked  
for my password. Deleted com.apple.mail.plist -that didn't work  
either. I also created a NEW keychain. Ran Disk Utility. I wish I  
knew the answer.
Good luck with this.
