As far as I know this is a Telstra Bigpond issue. There was a utility fix for this eons ago but the later releases of Mail were supposed to have addressed this problem.

However, it seems to have resurfaced and is so annoying I've diverted my Telstra mail to our zytech mailserver so Mail doesn't check the Bigpond server at all (which I know won't solve your problem).

Anyone else?

I remember someone else getting a similar problem to me on the list but I cannot find it :-(

I keep getting the message :-

"Enter Password for Account
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The POP server "pop-server.bigpond net .au rejected the password for user "mmccall2"

Please re enter your password or cancel"

Like a good boy I do it but 5 secs later it does it again-- and again---and again. The password is correct ,and my mail keeps coming through.

Can anyone help please?
