Hey Simon...
A more incisive interpretation of my travails yesterday would, reasonably, indicate that this has been an ongoing problem with the SERVICE for some of us for some time; and, more to the point that, what APPLE laughingly offers for "TECH SUPPORT", such-as-it-is, in this area is blissfully, (and dangerously), ignorant of the problem.
As of now, my iSync only works sporadically, and my iDisk not at all.
eMail is a mess, and it'll be some-time before I know how many Accounts I've been 'Bounced-Off of.
e. Hail MAC!

Hey Simon...
dotMAC's been having major MAINFRAME?) problems for the last 24hr or so.
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' went down 11:00 PM last night for many of us and 'Locked' us 'Out' of the SYSTEM till after 02:00 PM this afternoon. iDisk, Bounced Mail, the whole 9yards.
I spent over 3 hours this afternoon 'sloshing' thru APPLE's, 'Worst-in-the-Industry's', live Tech and Account Support system, only to find, after 8 different assistants and supervisors, that no one there had a clue that there was anything wrong.
I was actually on the phone with a 'Senior' Tech Support staffer, who was insisting that the problem HAD to be with MY System, when the following "Notice" was posted to the dotMAC Support bulletin board:
<http://www.apple.com/support/dotmac/>
[ .Mac System Status
Network Status
iDisk
HomePage
10:00 am PDT, September 28th, 2004:
A small number of customers were having difficulties receiving mail due to database issues. The sender of the email will receive a bounce-back claiming that the destination account is over quota. The issue is now resolved and mail should be delivered as expected.
.Mac ]
I received a chagrined apology.
I DON'T know what "10:00 AM" location they're referring to above, but MY System began to 'come-back Up' at 06:00 PM my time, and is still not 100%.

G'day Guys,
I'm having a few dramas with iSync and my .Mac account - can you help?
This is the box that comes up when I try to sync...
Synchronization Error Wednesday, 07 January, 1970 08:33 Unable to get data from the server: A network error interrupted the connection to .Mac. A network error interrupted the connection to .Mac.
I'm using iSync 1.5 on a PISMO running Mac OS X 10.2.8
Not sure where the duff date came from, my time and date settings are fine I think...
Cheers Guys,
