Keychain keeps asking password for Mail and Messages.

This has been an issue since phone tech support solved an issue when I had difficulty getting text messages only on my imac Messages.

I talked to at least 5 tech supports since, and ended up taking mahine to apple store for reinstalling OS 10.8.5 as some of them thought there may be bigger issue. (IMac didn't restart sometimes, it takes way too long to restart, it takes way too long to diagnose, etc)

Apple store support said there doesn't seem any critical issue after running tests.

I came home, and still seeing these messages popping up every 15 min. These are the exact messages that pop up.

I'm tired of this and don't want to take it into apple store again.

Should I delete all the keychain items?

Is there anything I can do by myself without calling in again?

I appreciate any suggestions...!

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), 27 inch bought mid 2010, 2.8 GHz, 4
