This is what I got from Westnet Mac
Hi Mac, This problem can be caused by your Westnet mailbox locking itself and not allowing your Email program to retrieve your messages for a certain period of time. This mailbox locking is a security feature of your mailbox designed to prevent multiple people from accessing your mailbox simultaneously. Unfortunately, the mailbox can also lock itself when your Email program has difficulty retrieving an Email and then subsequently tries again. Your Email program doesn't recognise that the mailbox did lock itself, and therefore believes that the password is incorrect. If this problem occurs on a regular basis, it would be adviseable to contact Technical Support on 1300 786 068 for us to determine what could be causing the problem for you. If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to call our Helpdesk on 1300 786 068 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Matthew ____________________________________ Matthew Jajko Technical Support Team www.westnet.com.au Westnet - Voted Number 1 ISP in Customer Satisfaction two years running Phone: 1300 786 068 Fax: 1300 554 160 For more contact information visit our contact us webpage.

I find in the AM especially I have no emails so I click on 'Get Mail' and I am asked for my passwords for all my accounts which I duly fill in and get the msg that my westnet password is not recognized. I fill it in again and get the same msg. If I leave it for a time I then find everything works perfectly and all my emails download. I feel there is an obvious easy explanation for this but what is it? Mac
