[muglo] Re: Keychain and AppleMail idiosyncrasies

Are you sure that you are connected when these issues occur?  If your  
PPPoE session has been disconnected, you may get these symptoms.
The first issue is your email provider refusing to accept your email,  
usually happens if you are connected from another network / login.   
i.e. you are at a friends using their internet service.  The keychain  
issue is usually caused by Mail.app not receiving a response from the  
mail server in a timely fashion.  It then assumes that your password  
failed and prompts you to enter it again.
