[X Newbies] Mail not collecting mail

[birgit rhoads]

Today, my .mac mail account kept asking for password and rejecting it, 
then it would turn the account to offline.  2 things.  Apple .mac mail 
seems to have been down during the day off and on, and also I was sent 
an infected email and two emails explaining the infected email from the 
company that inadvertently sent it.  I do not know if any of this had 
anything to do with the fact that my .mac account was giving me 
trouble, all my other mail accounts were fine.  Apple Mail sure makes 
life interesting.  Birgit
