[X4U] Problems with .Mac mail

[Matthew Barr]

It's most likely that .Mac has been having some issues with their  
servers-- If the system can't login to a server, it gives you the  
password dialog box, because it thinks the password it has stored is  
wrong.    I've been getting it a few times the last few days, late at  
night, and it's fine now.

I suspect they were doing maintenance.
