MobileMyAss

Apple's debaculous MobileMe offering has now completely hosed my mail. No sequence or combination or repetition of account deletion, creation, modification, or syncing has coaxed mail.app to grab any of my mac mail for non-web consumption. My latest attempt: mail's made nearly 1.4 million mach sys calls and consumed almost 8 minutes of CPU time (WTF is it doing?) and is displaying exactly 1 header, sans body, and nothing else. That's progress.

yikes!

it gave me some trouble back when it was still .mac; since, i've just forwarded to another (POP) address and was done with it.

i am looking forward to all that push technology working someday, and when i upgrade to a 3G phone and buy new macs so i won't have to run 10.4 anymore.

i reckon by the time all that happens, MobileFail will actually work.

That was my solution too (ie forward to another account). My account failed last week as well.

But what I think you're saying is that I should buy a new computer and iPhone. Excellent idea, thanks.
