[QUOTE="TeckniX, post: 1076412, member: 64173"] This seems to happen for the Mail app only - But it's only the only app that I know of that has sleep/request patterns. The issue with mail is that even though the setup is IMAP, it checks for emails every 5minutes, which will then prompt me for my keychain password. Once that is entered, then I'm ok for another (unknown) period of time, or until I decide to send an email. For example, adium requests my password only once, then works all day. If I disconnect/reconnect then it will ask me for the password. My keychain is set to auto-lock after 5mins of inactivity. When the Mail.app 'unlocks' the keychain, the actual keychain itself seems to still be locked, so I don't think it has anything to do with it (just trying to provide you with more detail on the setup) Also my keychain password is independent of my login password.
