[MlMt] server is lost; disconnects; fails

[Tracy Kent Valleau]

Hello
Been using MM for a decade now without issue. Same server (dreamhost) same address etc. In the past few weeks, launching MM fails to connect to the server, and stay connected. I get a connection, and 20 seconds later, a disconnect and spinning pinwheels. Everything is listed as (unavailable). I cannot add or delete mailboxes. If I wait a while, the connection will come back, and MM will download my email... and then it disconnects again.

Furthermore, if I switch to Apple Mail (on the same computer), everything runs perfectly. No disconnects, no pauses, no drops. Yes, of course I have checked all the settings.

What would cause MM to struggle to stay connected, while Mail has no problems at all?
