Hi everyone, after going home this weekend my entourage has been acting kind of funny. I can receive e-mail but I cannot send any. This is very annoying. Is it because i have switched networks? I don't see why that is a problem. Could somebody please tell me what is the correct setup for an Entourage account checking a Yahoo mail account. I've already gone to the yahoo website and it doesn't appear as though I have anything wrong, although, they don't have an entourage setup option.

Thanks

Tom

It is probably directly related to the network your are now on. Most ISPs won't allow you to use their SMTP server (via which you send mail) unless your are logged onto the Internet via their network. This is to prevent Spammers using their mail servers to send bulk mailouts. You'll need to make sure you are using the SMTP server of the network to which you are connected. In regards to Yahoo, if you have selected in the options on the yahoo website to allow pop access then you should just be able to enter (I think) pop.yahoo.com and then your login and password to download your mail (but seeing as you can download mail you must have these settings correct). Yahoo doesn't have any SMTP servers for your use however, so you'll need to use your ISPs.
So in short change the SMTP server.

Cheers Ry
