Apple utför service på sina mailservers. Såhär står det på Apple Discussions:
Greetings,
At approximately 4:00 PM PST 3/10/02 we will be performing maintenance and repairs on on one of our email servers. The servicing of this server is expected to be completed by approximately 9:00PM PST tonight. During this time period approximately 20% of mac.com users will be unable to access their mac.com email. Most affected users will receive an "Authentication Failed" error message. Other mac.com users will be unaffected by this maintenance.
I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause and want to thank you all for your patience in this matter. I will post back to this forum when additional information is available.
Adam
