Searched the Forum. learned a lot, but no answer found to this problem. Please advice.
Apologies for lengthy explanation to help diagnosing.

In SL: Mac Mail very reliable, connected to 1 single account (ACCOUNT1, Exhange IMAP; details below)

In Lion (Mail 5.0):

ACCOUNT1: no longer access !
After about 2 weeks of use, I have no longer access to the mail server !? Server refuses password at ALL times (until I hit cancel) (password verified in administrator account and Web Exchange Mail app) (Mail Error message: “The Exchange IMAP server “mail.xx.xx.xx” rejected the password for user “xxxxxx”).

So, I try to open another account, ACCOUNT2, hoping to get access this way.
BUT: I do not have the option to create an account with identical specifications as the first account (?) (details below). The settings are no choice .

ACCOUNT2: incoming / outgoing mail seem to work fine (password works !).
BUT: sent mailbox and draft mailbox in ACCOUNT2 are not properly updated. Not ALL sent mail appears in the ACCOUNT2 sent box. The Drafts mailbox remains empty in ACCOUNT2.


Result: I am stuck with 2 mail accounts, none that works properly (one even without access). :(


Extra lead ?: Connecting to my VPN remote server access, now requires my password twice ! First time is always refused, second accepted. Does this go together with the access to either account ?


To those of you that have the expertise ... advice please.
Referral to other posts / threads very welcome.

Many thanks in advance ! :):):)
