Repair broken .Mac webmail access
Authored by: mm2270 on Aug 19, '04 11:37:35AM

Were you by any chance using Safari to access webmail?
The reason I ask is because I've had similar problems as yours, and it was due to Safari's penchant for caching and insisting on using bad data from it's cache. For example, if you type in your password wrong when accessing mail, it will sometimes keep that bad password in it's cache and use that each time you try to log in, giving you an error message such as described in this hint.

In my case, I fixed this by using Safari's built-in cache emptying command (in the Safari menu), then quitting and restarting Safari. I don't know that the same steps would have worked in this hint author's case, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Thank you Rob. I don't have a .Mac webmail account, but someday I may have one. I will remember your hint for future considerations. Good job, as always. You rock!
