I often get the following problem. If, for instance, I have my laptop and my ipod touch both pointing to the same email account, then, if one has recently been using it, the other can't gain access. It takes about 20 minutes for my system to go neutral again, so I can access it using another device.
If your emac is accessing email automatically and rather frequently, it may be blocking anything else from gaining access. The way I know this is happening is that I'm asked for the account password, and, when I put it in, I am asked all over again. I quit mail, wait a bit, and then relaunch mail and try again. So it might be that your emac is trying to access your mail account every minute or 5 minutes, or so. Just a thought: and not unlike other thoughts that have appeared this morning.
