Possible for a user account to be corrupted?

[Foamcow]

Hi,

I've been using Apple Mail to connect to our SBS/Exchange server with no real problems. I was connecting using IMAP.

After setting up some other Macs here to use Apple Mail and it's Exchange account option I decided to change my account type to Exchange.

However, for some reason it wouldn't connect apparently due to username/password problems.

I tried switching back to an IMAP account. No joy. Same problem.

I can connect as normal using Thunderbird and IMAP rather than Apple Mail. I have tried connecting with Apple Mail without Thunderbird running.

I tried setting up another Mac to connect to my account using IMAP and I get the same problem.

This leads me to believe there is something wrong with my account rather than with the Mac/Mail. What I don't understand is why I can still connect via Thunderbird.


I've tried resetting my password on the SBS. No difference.

Is it possible for an account to become damaged in some way?
As I said, this was working fine for months until I started messing with it last week and 3 other Macs aren't having this issue.
