I will check out the bug note mentioned by David and see if this is the
same issue.
I have SM set to automatically check for new mail when I open a user
account (I have 4 user accounts, some that manage multiple addresses).
Since there are 11 email addressed managed in this particular account,
it takes a minute or so to check new messages for all of them. After
that, SM checks for new messages every 10 minutes. I used to have it set
to every 1 minute, but a yahoo tech told me that there are issues that
can happen with the server if you check to often.
So for each address, there is a login to the pop server using the email
address (with domain) and the password from the password manager. I
guess my question is why that email address login is not included in the
error message.
Shouldn't the error message be something more like,
Sending of password did not succeed for: [email protected]
Mail server pop.bizmail.yahoo.com responded: internal server error
(#OCF013)
Occasionally I have to call yahoo to get these things sorted out and it
would be much easier if I knew which email was the issue, and even if it
is the same account every time. I understand that the error itself has
nothing to do with SM, but more information is usually preferable to
less where error messages are concerned. I understand that I can figure
out which account is the problem if I go through one at a time and see
if I can trigger the error, but wouldn't a well formed set of error
traps provide that information in the first place? The process would be
even more complicated if the issue is not consistently with the same
login address.

One possibility should be to set up each of your accounts (except your
main account) to *not get* mail at start-up, i.e. un-tick that setting
on the "Server Settings" screen at Edit->Mail & Newsgroup Account
Settings, and then collapse the other accounts, except your main
account, when you exit SeaMonkey.
Then, as I understand it, when you next start SeaMonkey, it should just
go and get the mail for your main account. Then, while you read that
main mail account, expand the next account, and then the next account,
etc., for your eleven accounts.
That way, you will only be getting mail from one account at a time, so
should be able to determine which ones are having problems.
Then, before you close the SeaMonkey Mail & News screen, close up all
the mail accounts except for your main account.
