But, it's most probably a server problem. One of the pop servers I use is down regularly, and Mail doesn't like that, funnily enough. What helps is to just say cancel when the (first) alert comes up, which should take the account off-line (or at least it stops checking), and then just manually check for mail after 30 minutes or so, which should take the account back on-line.

I deleted accounts, deleted keychains, deleted pref files. No luck.
I called Apple, and they blame my ISP, SBC/PacBell for the problem. Of course, I call SBC and they immediately blame Apple and OS X. Round and round I go. In the meantime, I enter my frakking password 100 times a day.
If you encounter a solution, please post here, others are having the same problem. Do a search on the boards here. Sadly no solutions yet.

One person claimed that SBC told them they were reworking their servers which was probably the cause. Here's to hoping that once this whole ATT-SBC merger is completed that the issues will go away!
