This is a guess, but I wonder if PowerMail is trying to store login information for your wife's email account(s) in the Apple Keychain's "login" keychain, and there is some corruption in the relevant Keychain entry.
First quit PowerMail. Then open the Keychain application (probably in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder, on my old Mac it's called "Keychain Access"), then delete any login entries that relate to your wife's email account (pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com, for example, if she has a gmail account). The "login" keychain should be at the top of the list of keychains in Keychain. Then restart PowerMail. You may have to re-enter login info via the Setup>Mail Accounts... menu. If you want to be really thorough, delete her email account via Setup>Mail Accounts... in PowerMail before removing the Keychain "login" entries, then re-set up the account(s) in PowerMail after you've deleted the Keychain entries. Note that deleting an email account in PowerMail via Setup>Mail Accounts... will not delete any mail already saved. It will only delete the login info for that email account. Good luck. - Winston Weinmann John Maylone wrote: > >My wife is a PowerMail user. Every time she opens her PowerMail, she >gets this message: "PowerMail wants to make changes.
