[QUOTE="NanoBite, post: 521974, member: 13565"] I have encountered this several times and it's a monumental PITA .... That error message is saying there's a problem either at the server end of things, or some discrepancy relating to your account details ... well, they're a starting point and I'm hoping that this is easily fixed otherwise we'll need to look elsewhere for the cause ... You'll have to check in Prefs ~> Accounts to ensure all the Server info is correct and while you're there just check all the details and remove and re-enter the info. Sometimes, that's all that's needed. You'll notice the little check box under the text field: [img]http://myskitch.com/spawn_dooley/picture_3-20071106-085737.jpg[/img] Personally, I like to enable this as it suits me to not be prompted for my password each and every time I get a new email .... whether or not you enable this option should depend on how sensitive your mail is as enabling this lets anyone view your new mail if you're not at your mac.
