Re: "PowerMail wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
This may be getting closer to a solution. I can only do this with the PMKey in
the Package Contents, I can find no other PMKey elsewhere on the computer
(except there was one on the desktop which I also deleted). When I try
deleting this one key and dropping it back onto the PM app icon, nothing
changes, it still wants the admin password each time PM opens.
I don’t know if it’s relevant, but she’s using about a 5 year old iMac with PM
version 6.2.1 build 4668 and OS X 10.10.4
Thanks for your patience.
Cheers,
John

The password has been typed in any number of times, Disk Utility and Disk
Warrior were just run, as well as a Drive Genius defrag. All with no change in
the situation.
Thanks,

Quit PowerMail, then right-click on the PowerMail.app icon in the Finder, and
choose "Show Package Contents"; navigate to Contents/PowerMail Additions, and
remove any PMKey file(s) you find there. Move the PMKey file (which should
probably be named "PMKey 6 mrkoala") from the {home}/Library/Preferences folder
to another location, then drag and drop it to the PowerMail.app icon. This
should launch PowerMail, and reinstall the PMKey in both locations, asking for
the administrator password if you don't have permissions to modify the
application. Does this work?

Quit PowerMail, then right-click on the PowerMail.app icon in the Finder, and
choose "Show Package Contents"; navigate to Contents/PowerMail Additions, and
remove any PMKey file(s) you find there. Move the PMKey file (which should
probably be named "PMKey 6 mrkoala") from the {home}/Library/Preferences folder
to another location, then drag and drop it to the PowerMail.app icon. This
should launch PowerMail, and reinstall the PMKey in both locations, asking for
the administrator password if you don't have permissions to modify the
application. Does this work?
