Jun 23, 2016 11:31 AM in response to Eric Rootby blakelymt,Thanks for your time, but you obviously mistake me for someone who understands computer talk I found keychain & used the search function (i.e., google) and found what appears to be 2 gmail accounts. One says accounts.google.com (my email address) and the other says my account.google.com (may email address). Which should I delete? Then what? Do I need to somehow reestablish that account in Mac mail?
Thanks again,

Jun 23, 2016 11:58 AM in response to blakelymtby Eric Root,You are welcome. Delete the one for the e-mail account. I don't understand what the may e-mail address is?? You can try deleting that one also. The next time Mail asks you for the password, it should be readded to the keychain. The mail account shouldn't be affected, so there shouldn't be anything for you to do in Mail.
Try Keychain Access menu/First Aid.
