Incessant requests for keychain access

MacOS X's Keychain Access is a handy place to store passwords for mail servers, file servers, etc. However, I have my POP client check for new mail every 5 minutes, and Keychain Access' requests can become quite irritating.

You can eliminate this by using the Keychain Access app (Applications > Utilities). Click the desired key's name, select the Access Control tab, and click the "Always allow access to this item" radio button. Save Changes, entering your Administrator Password, and select Allow Once.

Always Allow will be greyed out, but it only applies to this Keychain Access app session; the application to which you're giving carte blanche will not ask for the password again.
