[Macpartners] Possible Problem with Mail and 10.3.9

[Roger A. Roach]

Although I am doing OK, you might be experiencing problems with the 
network since going back to 10.3.8 did not help.  Also one suggestion I 
got which seems to help is to switch to Kerberos authentication for 
incoming e-mail.  This is not officially supported, but works for me.

What you do is go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced; uncheck the Use 
SSL checkbox; from the Authentication pop-up menu, select Kerberos 4.
