Mobileme Email issues- time out on port 993?

[myminirocks]

AAARRGGHH!! This is seriously killing me!!

I was writing an email when i had a power failure, so lost the internet (computer was ok as it was on my MB on battery)

So once everything came back up and I went back to mail I get an error pop up every 3 mins saying that changes were made to an email that could not be changed on the mobileme server, so Mail has undone the changes and saved a draft 'On My Mac'.

But I have since finished the email and sent it (via a different mail a/c) and still every 3 mins I get the error and every time i get the error it saves a new draft. ie after 30mins I will have 10 copies of the email saved in my drafts!!! Leave it over night and you get the idea of how many drafts I have to clear out.

On the error it also says "Additional information: mail could not contact the smtp.mac.com server-timed out on port 993"

Now also during this time I cannot send or receive email. I have delted the Mobileme a/c in mail, trashed the plist, rebuilt the mail box everything i can possibly think off.

Can anyone else think of anything?
