But today I felt that a check was long overdue, so I opened Mail, clicked the Get Mail button, and I was presented with the annoying dialog box I sometimes see when there’s a network problem, the password confirmation dialog box. Since it’s low-traffic, I don’t check it very often. I have a low-traffic Gmail account I usually check on my Power Mac G4 Cube using Mail.app in Mac OS X 10.4.11. I hope this post can help others who have stumbled upon the same issue. The solution is rather simple, but it may not be apparent at first.
I have lost more than thirty minutes trying to solve a small but annoying problem.
