I guess .mac being down for a little while is not the end of the world since my Yahoo mail was taking anywhere from 3 minutes to 3 days to send a stinkin' email anyway. And I was a PAYING customer. I loved my Yahoo email for years, but there is no way I am paying for that kind of service. Plus I LOVE IMAP.
All is good now. I turned off SSL yesterday and everything worked. I turned it back on this morning and it is still working. Just an FYI in case this happens again!
The was a fire at a large data center in Houston at the same as the .mac outage. But it may have been coincidence. I really wish Apple would be more upfront on explaining what happened. Not informing us leaves us to guess, which is probably worse than what really went wrong! http://www.webmasterworld.com/webmaster/3663978.htm
