Brett,
This has happened to me on several occasions when I clicked on the
'Get Mail' icon. I then cancelled the dialog box and instead went to
the menubar (Mailbox) clicking on 'Get New Mail' and selecting the
appropriate account. I was able to get my mail this way. Seemed to be
a workaround for an irregular anomaly in Mail.

Using Mail I have suddenly been presented with a dialog box asking me
to re enter my password for the account "Brett's email". It states
"The POP server "mail.bigpond.com" rejected the password for user
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" .
Trouble is I'm using the right password.
Been through Bigpond Tech support (the Mac guy who I had to wait for
30 minutes but was quite polite but couldn't help apart from backing
up my email and creating a new account and putting it into the new
one - oy vey!) and checked the preferences that everything was filled
in correctly. Even double checked that the password is the right one
but to no avail. And don't remember anything on Wamug about this.
Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing or any advice?
