After much rumour over the last few days that .Mac will be re-branded and revamped at WWDC next week, a long service outage has sparked further speculation.
At around 5.30pm Eastern time on Monday .Mac mail went offline for around 6 hours.
During last years All Things Digital: D5 conference Steve Jobs was questioned on why Apple had let .Mac dwindle, Jobs answered "I couldn’t agree more, and we’ll make up for lost time in the near future."
