Q: mdimport always requiring access to privatekey

I have the very same popup, it's been happening for weeks. To add to your config, I am using an SMIME key to sign my mail and get many mails that are also SMIME signed, which may be contributing to the problem. I am running a MacBook Air 2014 with the same software and Mail.app.

The specific error message is: "mdimport wants to use your confidential information stored in "Key from www.digicert.com" in your keychain. Do you want to allow access to this item?"

Try running Keychain First Aid.

Keychain Reset

Thanks, it was the first thing I tried. Keychain is verified and needs no repair. Also did disk permissions repair, no effect.
