You are correct Winston. When Mail has problems connecting to the incoming mail server, it assumes that it is a password issue and prompts the user to re-enter their password. In most cases, if mail is prompting for a password on an established account, the problem is with the mail server or sometimes the internet connection. Contacting the ISP is an option, though waiting an hour or 2 is usually enough. Dave On 2010-01-25, at 09:08, Winston MacKelvie wrote: > Not much help but, for weeks I had that too.
