Why Is One Mail Account 'Off-Line' on my iMac?

You would think the developers at Apple know "This is a dangerous prompt." So why don't they change it?

Is there any way for people in the field, like Chakravartin, to alert the developers to land mines like this?

I did get the p/w re-enter request for a different account the other day. And I did change the passwords for both my Zoho accounts Friday, after Zoho suggested it because of Heartbleed. But the offending account yesterday was working fine Saturday. Weird. I wonder if an invisible character got into the User Name field.

Oh well. It's working now.
