What warning? iCloud Keychain has nothing to do with your mail issue!

Both were signed into the same Apple account with the feature enabled.
That's how it's supposed to work.

There's no reason to do that since it had nothing to do with your issue;
and by turning it off you are making things harder on yourself, because
Safari and other apps won't have access to stored credentials in the
keychain, which means rather than automatically filling in usernames and
passwords, you will now have to type them in manually. Why needlessly do
that to yourself?
