1. mail.app losing passwords and 2. ftp problems

[sc at creativeartlink.com]

problem #1.

very frustrating ! i have several email accounts which have been 
working well since august when i went to X... and again after my 
upgrade a few months ago to 10.2.2 ... now suddenly i am being asked 
every few minutes to re-enter my password even tho i do check the 
remember password box and i have the password listed in the account 
preferences... had to kill mail reception in order to write this email 
uninterupted

i also lost my ability to send mail ... until i unchecked password 
verification ( i use the same account for all sent mail)

sometimes entering the new password work for a short while 10 -15 
minutes ( my accounts are set to check every minute) and sometimes the 
password will not be accepted at all... sometimes it helps to quit mail 
and start it again ...sometimes not.

i tried removing the preferences ... but that just lost all of my 70 or 
so folders and saved mail... so i replaced it!

problem #2.

having ftp problems on upload using adobe golive... this is also a 
sudden change ... has been perfect all along... fetch works... but the 
golive ftp.. is not only not working ..it seems to crash my airport ( 
graphite running 2.1.1) and i have to unplug the airport to be online 
(cable via pppoe) ... it does work when i connect via modem ...but i 
checked with my broadband company and their tests of my access seemed 
to show that the service is working. except i can't get into their 
ftp...

perhaps related ?...i can't get ie 5.2.2 to connect to any ftp 
site...keeps getting stuck on setting passive mode.... which i just 
unchecked in the airport admin.... makes no difference checked or 
unchecked ...can't get in thru my ie browser... in netscape 7 the ftp 
(ht.accesss) never even asks for my password... i get a 503 login 
incorrect...without ever receiving a log in form...

both problems may be unrelated ...but in case they are they are 
presented together... i ran disk repair having booted from my osx cd 
... in case the problem is osx breaking down...repaired disk & 
permissions..nothing helped.

g3powerbook 512 mgs  20 gig hard drive with about 2.5 available.

help ...... thank you!
