    Most apps, when I click on them, open immediately, but with others,
    notably Mailspring, I get his message..

    How do I fix, thanks.

    This happens when you configure your account to login automatically. If no
    one else uses your computer, this is useless and easy to correct.

    Open Passwords and Keys by typing:

    seahorse

    into a terminal.

    Go to the Passwords Tab and there you will see a folder:

    Passwords: Login

    Right click *Login* and select *Change Password* in the resulting context
    menu and reset permissions by entering your old password and leave blank
    the new password fields that are asked for in the dialog box that appears.

    Reboot and your problem should be solved.


    Also, the login keyring will ask for the password if you have changed your user password. To fix this, type your new password in the password fields following the instructions above.
