I reinsert my password and it works for five minutes or so befor it sends an error again. I'm accessing through my "Macmail" which is an application for macs combining my Gmail and AOL email accounts all into one "get your email" function. 

That being stated, I have had this problem over and over again. The newest error message is:

"The attempt to read data from the server “nginx.mx.aol.com.aol.akadns.net” failed."

I have deleted the mail accounts off my Mac and reset them at least 4 times this year. If this is a security problem where "Bots" are trolling for passwords, then they have become extremely sophisticated in gaining access to my system. One thing is interesting about all this - If I sign onto the AOL account via my browser (Safari or Firefox), I get all my mail for that account, no problem. This seems to be a Macmail problem.  I can't imagin this is true however, I'm not in the know.

So if anyone out there has a real fix for this, please do post it. I would hate to think that this is a passive agressive marketing tactic being employed by AOL just to get money out of me.
