This just started to happen and I have no idea why. We use the Apple Mail app and have @mac, @icloud and @me email accounts. Does anyone have an answer as to why? I have just been restarting the computer to hope that it gets around this issue but that does not seem like the correct solution. Thanks,
"Mail wants to access key 'Imported Private Key'" message means Mail needs permission to use a digital certificate to sign or encrypt emails. This is often triggered by an email account with a digital certificate, and you can resolve it by updating the key's access control in Keychain Access, entering your password for that specific key, deleting the problematic key, or by temporarily disabling email signing for that account.

I've got the same issue going on, it started last week. I have email in my server Mail folder, but it won't download to the computer. I don't know what the digital certificate is, so I can't do anything about it. Any help getting rid of this will be appreciated.
