Mail keeps asking about system keychain password

Hi,


When drafting an email or sending it, Mail keeps asking me for System keychain password. Not login, system keychain.


What do i do? Is there a way to reset Mail?


Thanks..

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

Hey ashipika,


If your Mail app keeps asking about your keychain, we'd recommend working through the following steps best equipped to assist:


If your Mac keeps asking for your keychain password
Your keychain may be locked automatically if your computer has been inactive for a period of time or your user password and keychain password are out of sync.You can set a length of time that Keychain Access waits before automatically requiring you to enter your password again.
1. In the Keychain Access app  on your Mac, click “login” in the Keychains list.
2. Choose Edit > Change Settings for Keychain “login.”
3. Select the “Lock after” checkbox, then enter a number of minutes.
4. If you want to require a password each time the computer goes to sleep, select the “Lock when sleeping” checkbox.
5. Click Save.
