Mail Problems - Cant connect on Mail or Thunderbird

[yuanmoons]

Maybe it was abit scattered first time

I have a MobileMe account and it worked on both the web and mail app until recently - then the Mail app kept timing out.
WEB MobileMe works, the MAIL app wont connect.

I have tried to
a, delete the prefs and mail folder in library - then restart mail - but i get the same problem
b, ive tried to delete the account within Mail and create a new one but it still cant connect to the server.
b, ive tried to setup the account on three different macs via a new user (on same internet connection) and each time i get the same problem - it cant connect to the mail server .
c, i phone apple care and both phone calls ended in a non fix. 1st person fobbed me off after 20 mins & 2nd cut the line after 35 mins whilst on hold.
d, i installed Thunderbird Mail app on mac and got the same problem.
e, doesnt connect on my windows partition - thunderbird mail app - either.

My internet is otherwise working for all other apps.

I hope this is alittle clearer.

Is this a just affecting me? Any Help?

Anyone know why suddenly i get timeouts on on my Mail app?

It just wont connect no matter what i do. I deleted preferences, the folder and then restarted & it still wont connect.

I then installed Thunderbird and add the MobileMe account but i get the same problem.

Its weird. Anyone got any ideas why?

The only information that you have given is that you are having a "problem." Perhaps your mail provider's servers were down. Hey, it happens. Whatever your problem, you are going to have to give some real information if you expect to receive any help.
