ICloud :: Entourage Quit Getting Mail On IMac - Logon Failure
Feb 17, 2012
Last week, my MS Entourage quit getting my me.com mail. It gives me a Authentication failed because Entourage doesn't support any of the available authentication methods. error message. It was working fine and suddenly quit. I can access my mail by going to icloud as well as on my ipad, but not on my iMac using MS Entourage. When I set up a new account and have it "Verify My Settings," I get a "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password" (-17900 ), yet its the same user name and password used on the ipad and icloud.com logon. My iMac operating system is 10.7.3 and Entourage is 12.3.2
I have recently upgraded from Mobile Me to iCloud on my Macbook Pro as it was reminding me that MobileMe ends soon. Howveer, I would like to keep Entourage 2008 as my default mail server on my Macbook Pro, but it has switched everything to iCloud.
Setting up hotmail in Entourage. I've tried countless solutions but none seem to work in my case. The problem seems to be that I can't send or receive mail (typical problem). POP server is pop3.live and I've entered my hotmail address and password. The smtp server is [URL]. I've tried many combinations of POP and smtp ports like, 110, 25 (respectively) Error message: -3259 225, 25 Error message: -3259 995, 25 -17897
I've also had Error message -16999 but I've forgotten which combination I had for that. In advanced options for POP server, SSL and Secure Password is checked; for smtp server, SSL and require authentication are checked. I've tried using the same settings as mail server and also logging on using my Account ID and Password. Also, I have a rule set up for send and receive every 1 minute (Entourage doesn't seem to like that; it wants me to do it every 15 minutes which isn't suitable). It seems like I've exhausted all possibilities and I still can't send or receive my emails! The odd thing is that when I initially set up my hotmail account, it was able to download all the messages from the server without a hitch.
Entourage stopped opening on my system a few days ago. When I attempt to launch I receive the message in the subject line. This happens from both the alias and the program icon. I am on OS X 10.5.6 and this is the first time I've had any trouble w/Entourage.
I just set up my new iMac, migrated everything from my MacBook Pro, and everything works EXCEPT Mail. I have configured my MobileMe settings to synch everything, and online, everything is there: contacts, all old email, etc... but Mail doesn't show any of this stuff, nor will it retrieve or synch any of my email accounts. Also, I have to Force Quit it everytime to exit the program.
Could this be something with the Preferences file, or .plist file?
I have decided to use Entourage over Mail due to it's robustness and more features than I can possibly ever use. Here the question:I am coming from a PC using Outlook 2007. I have done my research on how to get my mail off my Outlook and importing it into Entourage.Fine, great and dandy. I haven't performed it yet but I have a couple of questions before running with this.1. I have MobileMe account. Installing that into Entourage was relatively easy. Done.2. Installing a new "mail" account (POP or IMAP), I'm going to assume is the same way BUT if I install this, will it mix with my MobileME? What I am expecting to see is that it would store separately in it's own section. What is right?
i had a mobile me account....i migrated to iCloud.  i still use my email address with [URL]. iCloud works on my iphone and i get the email pushed to my iphone. however, i now get server time outs from my computers when accessing the emails. i suspect it has to do with the mobileme shutting down. so what should my settings be now in Entourage?Â
current is:
Account Name: Mac Account Name:Â my name email address: myname@mac.com Account ID: myname@mac.com
Does icloud work with Entourage 2008 for Mac for email?  Mac says it does but Microsoft says it does not support icloud in Entourage's email program, or in 2011 Office for Mac.  I have the same impression for 20 years---Apple and MSFT refuse to communicate on anything impacting their customers and we suffer.Â
My iCloud mail on my iMac no longer works, yesterday it just stopped. I go tth eiMac in mid 2007, same iCloud email account works on a mini mac i purchased last summer, solutions?
I use a new imac (recently replaced my old one for iCloud readiness) with 4GB memory, OS 10.7.3, and Mail regularly rejects my icloud password. I have checked the account settings and they are as suggested. I have no problem with my iPad or my iPhone which are both running iOS 5+, and my password works fine everywhere else Apple,
It happens at least once per day, and when I cancel the request for password in a few minutes, without further action on my part, Mail decides it does know my password after all! Not debilitating, but mildly annoying. Could this be an icloud issue? Maybe they need to work on this? Or (gasp) is it just me!
Info: iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB 13333MH
On entourage, I used my username, pw, domain, exchange server, ldap, and public folders server. This worked to allow me to get contacts, sync perfectly etc.
However, when I try to enter my username, pw, and put the incoming/outgoing server from the 1 exchange sever in entourage, I get an error that says it can't connect to the server. Is there a way to find out how to find where the info is that I need from entourage? My school isn't supporting mail, only entourage.
Just purchased new 17" MBP and am wondering what e-mail program you all prefer??? We are coming off many years with Outlook.
I set up Mail and it seems "OK" but I then discovered that Office 2008 has Entourage (I thought it was only in the Business version) and I am contemplating moving to Entourage before I invesnt more time in Mail.
We have two e-mail addresses and two different homes that we use our laptop at...with different ISPs...thus need a couple of different configurations.
From past reading I have heard not too positive comments on both Mail and Entourage...what are the issues with each
My company uses Office 365 for hosted Exchange email. We have 1 user who uses Apple Mail on OSX 10.7 to connect to the server in Exchange mode (using EWS). This was working great until a few days ago where he has sporadic connection problems. Reproducable situation below:
1) Select 100 emails in any given folder
2) Drag/drop those emails into another folder to move them there
3) They will start moving but it will fail at somepoint and give the message "Cannot execute move operation".
4) After that message appears it is usually several minutes before he can try again or send any emails.
5) Trying to send an email immediately after the error message results in the "Cannot send message using the server" dialog where you are prompted to select a different server to send the message. Choosing an SMTP server results in the message being sent but sometimes (and only sometimes) the message is resent a couple of hours later through the exchange system.
My wife runs all her emails through entourage. This is a HUGE memory hog and just generally a big and bulky mail client. She has an 07 black macbook running snow leopard. Is there an easy way to simply import ALL her mail to a apple MAIL. I get that I would have to reconfigured where her email accounts dump their mail in the future. But I'm just wondering how I would get her THOUSANDS of emails over to MAIL, and if it is even possible.
well I'm about to start using either Mail or Entourage for my yahoo and Gmail accounts. I know that for Yahoo you need to pay $19.99/year or so to get it work on Mail/Entourage so I guess I got no choice but to do so. This will be my first time ever using a mail app because for years I've used the website-based e-mail only, so I'm still not so familiar with these apps. I've tried both Mail and Entourage and so far I like Entourage better. It just looks neater and seems to have more options than Mail (I might be wrong). Are there any downsides of Entourage I should be aware of? Is it possible to import all the birthday etc. alerts that I have on Yahoo mail calendar to Entourage calendar? Also, is it possible for Entourage to notify you when you receive an e-mail the way Mail does? Another thing: I heard that next year Outlook for Mac will be available with the release of Office 2010. Anybody know when MS plans to release it? Should I wait till then and just get Outlook instead or is the release date still quite remote?
Sadly need to give up my MBP for a sony laptop (windows at work) and am having issues finding a simple way to move my emails to Outlook 2007. Would really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.
use MS Entourage 08 instead of Mail/iCal?I have been a Mac user since 10.3 and have never used Mail and iCal until 2009.Now I bought Office 2008 for word and excel and powerpoint but am unsure If I want to cheat on Mail and iCal with entourage
Is there any way to get Entourage to automatically move older mail to an archive folder? I want to keep it out of my inbox so that my account on the exchange server doesn't overflow.
I use Entourage for my email. Beginning this morning, I can receive email but can NOT SEND email.
Error message -3259 "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic."
Microsoft Entourage:
Version:11.4.0 Last Modified:1/22/08 12:00 AM Kind:PowerPC Get Info String:11.4.0 (080122), � 2004 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Location:/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Microsoft Entourage
I try to send mail with Entourage I get:Error. 5.7.0 From address is not one of your addresses. going back 4 years or more). This is a brand new MacBook with Entourage 2008 with all the updates.
I use Entourage 2008 in my MacBook Pro. I learned that there is no possible way to sincronize mails and calendars with my iPhone (through ICloud) so I'd like to stop resisting and switch to MacMail + ICal in my MacBook.
Been using Entourage 2004 since, well, 2004 or so, but have had thoughts about moving over to Apple's Mail application (especially since a Mac repair guy told me that Microsoft is thinking about not supporting it anymore past the next version of Office).
Just wanted to pick people's brains about the pros and cons of each, and which application you prefer. I'm leaning towards Entourage because of the simple functions it has that Mail doesn't seem to (e.g.: next message/previous message arrows within a mail message window, ability to file messages into folders from within a mail message without dragging), but Entourage seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to randomly declaring incoming mail as junk and I've missed a few important e-mails because of that (even though some addresses are in the address book or from safe domains).
