A potential fix for Mail.app and IMAP problems
Authored by: bservo on Feb 01, '04 01:40:05PM

I've been seeing the same behavior for about a month now, except I've got 4 .mac e-mail accounts and one non-.mac account. This configuration worked fine for the longest time. I'm not sure what's changed... perhaps Apple changed their .mac e-mail server configuration?

This is most certainly a bug with Mail.app... because once I get the error message, Mail hangs and won't do anything else until I Force Quit it. I haven't been able to stop the hung threads in the Activity Viewer, and the normal Quit doesn't work.

The work around that's been working okay for me is that I've taken two of the .mac e-mail accounts that I don't use frequently and leave them offline until I want to check them.

A potential fix for Mail.app and IMAP problems

I have this same problem... the first account to "go" is usually my .mac account.. my other accounts are soon to follow.. I am the admin for each of the others, and the limit is *20* connections per IP (Sun ONE Messaging Server) .. which is (I think) what .mac uses on the back end.. not sure what their front-end is.. So if I leave the SSL unchecked and give my password out to the whole world every time I check my mail (esp in wireless environments), this problem wont be a SSL streams error? then what is the error ?
