hi, iv reacently been having a problem with one of my accounts on iMail
every time i open the app and randomly during use i get this message:

> The gmx.com IMAP server imap.gmx.com rejected the password for user
> xx...@gmx.com
>
> Enter your password again or cancel.
>
> Remember this password in my keychain (Tickbox)

every time this comes up i type in my password and click the remember
tickbox but it keeps reappearing, sometimes three or four times in a
row. if this has happened to anyone before any advice would be greatley
appretiated, i dunno if its a problem with the keychain or if its got
something to do with using it on my iPhone aswell.

Any help appretiated!!

Thanks, Mike!!

This is caused by your ISP's authentication server either not working,
or offline for repairs.

ISP means Internet Server Provider, these are the folks who own the
servers that are outside your house.

They don't know where you are and it will not affect how quickly they
fix problems or do maintenance. hey have no xmas spirit, they are cold
and calculating and heathen.

Oh boy. Now they're doing it with Apple Mail as well.

E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM
