G4] A password screwup??

[Donald Farnum]

I, too have had occasional dialogue boxes pop up in Apple's "Mail" 
telling me my password was not accepted. This happens for all my ISP's 
occasionally, not just .Mac.  If I simply type in my current password 
in the dialogue box and hit "return" the problem goes away and Mail 
seems to remember it for awhile. I've simply attributed it to a 
corruption of the password in transmission and not worried about it 
since it happens infrequently and is easily dealt with. It has happened 
once more since I installed 10.3.3. (G4/800/DP)
