Used to happen a lot on my Comcast mail account, but it hasn't
cropped up for a few weeks now. I always found that if I reset my
DHCP addresses by shutting down everything from the cable modem to my
eyeballs it cleared up. I also tried deleting some of the keychain
passwords but that didn't seem to provide a permanent fix.
So is everyone who suffers from this mailzheimers syndrome running on
a home network with some kind of DHCP router? Mine is a wireless/
wired LAN with four Macs on it. I suspect networking gremlins if all
the sufferers are on networks.

to check my plists, but it said everything was fine. Any ideas or
suggestions?
I've run into the same problem, but only with e-mail accounts from a
specific provider. It must have something to do with timeouts during
authentication on that specific server, as other accounts on different
server do not show this problem. I'm not sure if it's possible to
tweak the
timeout limit in Mail.app. It is highly irritating indeed.
