Entourage Requiring Keychain

M

MB

I just switched all my files from one computer to another, and now when I
try to get my mail through Entourage, it suddenly requires keychain access.
When I input the password for my mail accounts, I deselect requiring
keychain access, and it automatically checks it again and requires it. I
finally got mad and needed to download my mail, so I set a keychain password
to access the mail. Now today it doesn't acknowledge the password I used,
and I sure didn't expect to have to input it on three accounts every time I
retrieve mail. I tried going into advanced retrieving options and one by one
selecting those three items, but that didn't work. How do I get out of this
loop?

Try running KeyChain first Aid (built into the Keychain Access programme in
recent versions of the OS.

Thanks for the two prompt replies. When I go into keychain to delete the
particular entries, it is asking for my password to keychain generally.
Unfortunately, I don't recall ever being asked this, and I have no idea what
it is. Will the First Aid utility reset everything for me?

Sorry, set that last by accident. I went to Apple to learn about the
Keychain First Aid and have run it. All is well. Thanks.
