This might happen if MailMate wrongly determines that multiple failures 
to connect to a server might be a password issue (this can be tricky to 
determine due to differing IMAP server behaviors). This is more likely 
to happen if the network connection is unstable. It can, of course, also 
be a bug.

If you can reproduce the issue (or it happens fairly often):

* Open the Activity Viewer (⌥⌘0) in MailMate (enables logging).
* Wait for this issue to show up once or twice.
* Use “Help > Send Server Logs”.

Then I can try to see if I can spot why MailMate thinks there is a 
password issue.
