Recently my mobile me family pack account was up for auto renewal. The main account renewed fine, but my wife’s account (sub-account in the family account) stopped working one fine day. No warnings, no alerts, just authentication errors on the iphone mail app.
Taking a closer look at my me.com account settings showed that there were no sub-accounts any more! *Poof*! FAIL!
After some investigation I found that not only had the sub-account become orphaned, but also stopped receiving emails. Using the me.com sub-account Assign account feature & Convert Existing Account option I was able to link it back. But the days while the account was unlinked, all email probably bounced back as there are no emails in the sub-account for the duration it got orphaned. So much so for “auto renewal” and paid “services” from Apple.

One day out of the blue, Firefox SSL stopped working on OSX. OSX very helpfully prompted me with the message that I should fix the issue and relaunch the application. Reinstalling Firefox did not resolve the issue. I ended up deleting my Firefox profile under ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox. This resolved the issue, however I lost all the addins that I had installed in Firefox.After reinstalling all the addins, i made a backup of my Firefox profile, so that in the future if the SSL issue should reoccur I can simply switch to the backup profile without losing any of my addins!
