It seemed to work for me. I changed my account password through the .Mac site, and in the Mail account. The problem seemed to disappear. After changing the password back to it's original value, I haven't seen the problem again. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3292585&#3292585 Someone on the Apple discussion board suggested that changing your account password will correct this problem.

Though, I also have two GMail accounts as well as a number of other POP accounts, and they all work perfectly. I'm guessing the problem is specific to IMAP accounts.

I hope that they release 10.4.9 with this Mail.app fix. It got worse with 10.4.8. It is definitely a Mail.app problem since it not only affects .Mac but also Gmail and other Google hosted email.
