If your email client is having trouble saving new credentials, it may be caused by the keychain on your Mac.

You can delete a keychain as described below, or contact Apple support for assistance.

Delete a keychain

  1. In Keychain Access on your Mac, choose View > Show Keychains.
  2. Select a keychain from the keychain list.
  3. Choose File > Delete Keychain [keychain name].
  4. Click Delete References.

Important: Deleting a keychain removes all information stored in it. However, you can recreate the items later, as long as you know the password.
