[QUOTE="Schmye Bubbula, post: 1765807, member: 394767"] Randy, are you still here? You said in post #7 that Apple changed things in the El Capitan Keychain, and the settings to fix the problem don't seem to exist anymore. But you didn't spell-out exactly what the names of the missing settings are. Then you listed the procedure, anyway, and it said to change Keychain Access' setting for Access Control of the incoming and outgoing mail servers to "Allow all applications to access this item." Then you linked to a macissues.com article that you said may solve the problem for people whose El Capitan Keychain Access indeed lacks the settings. Well, I couldn't find anything whatsoever in that article that even came close to addressing an alternative procedure to accomplish the same thing that the missing settings were supposed to fix. Am I overlooking something? But be that as it may, I have a friend with the same problem, and I went into her El Capitan Keychain Access, and its setting for Access Control of any item to "Allow all applications to access this item" is there. Is that what you said is supposed to be the missing setting in El Capitan? If not, then would you please tell us the exact name of what the missing setting is? But your instructions seem to say that "Allow all applications to access this item" is the setting we need. I'm confused. In any event, I don't see how changing the allowance of other apps to access the incoming and outgoing mail servers can solve the problem that you say is a timing mismatch. What does access by other apps have to do with it? Isn't it still only Apple Mail involved? [/QUOTE]
