OS X Mail- Weirdness
I had a couple of mac.com email acounts:
jsmith@mac.com password:monkeyhand
johnsmith@mac.com password: monkeytail
I set up mail to use the second mailbox: johnsmith@mac.com as I had forgotton I owned the first. It worked fine. Then I got a letter from Apple asking me to renew the first. I loged on to at .Mac to see what mail I had abandoned there. After that OS X Mail program would not recognize my password (based on second box). Seems it defaults to the last logged on password as valid. This should cause problems for others as it did for me.
