[QUOTE="Sonnyd, post: 1502675, member: 235634"] Hi all, I have a Mac Mini 10.6.8 I Love it, but recently, something has happened to my Mail. I don't know if it got hacked someway or a virus? or what. It started, when I would start mail, and it would ask me for my emai address, and password... then I would get an error message that "this is incorrect"... even when I went to my host to check my email it would do the same thing. I talked to tech support and they refreshed my email and it would work fine, sometimes for a week, other times for a day, and then others times only once. I changed the password, and it would do the same. I thought it was my host, since it was even doing it on their site. I finally talked to someone there who asked if I could get mail from another computer or source. I picked another password, and have had no problems with mail now for over 2 weeks using my iPad, or iPhone.... I read about the Trojan that got into mail, and so I tried doing the test for it, but it looks like it passed that test....Am I going to have to do a complete clean and install? or can this be eliminated, ????
