Is this on iserver? And it is still happening?
I wonder if you set a quota on the account if it would do that? I
doubt it.
But, odd that the same exact thing has happened with me at my ISP.
Suddenly my email client (Pegasus) tells me it cannot connect to the
POP3 server. It says I have entered either an incorrect username or
password. Yet I have changed nothing. I change the POP3 server to
another ISP I use and all is well.
I call tech support. He knows nothing. He tries giving me a new
password. Even he cannot get my email from where he sits with the
new password he assigned.
Thankfully I only use an alias email address. I quickly went to my
rede.com server, ran a perl one-liner and changed all forwarding
email addresses to my other ISP. Cost of disk space at iserver is
too much to hold my email there. But the service at iserver is
great. I was doing some work for someone who has a server there. The
server went down. I logged onto the backroom section and sure
ehough, a dead fish was belly up next to the server that I was
working on (they use animated gifs). So I was writing an email.
Iserver boasts that a tech will get paged if a server ever goes down.
I had about 10 minutes into the email; before I finished it I went
back to the server report page. The fish was alive and swimming.
Great! Mind you I have no financial stake in iserver; I don't even
resell anymore, but I so often find such poor,poor service on the
internet that I feel compelled to praise those who do it so well.
