Very, very odd. > > Tim Tim, First, please don't reply with a subject of "...Digest...", as it is hard to follow threads that way. Secondly, your reply button seems to have worked perfectly for the message you sent to the list. Otherwise the subject of the message would not have been what it was [Re: Entourage-Talk Digest - 11/26/02)] (I doubt that you would have manually typed the subject as it appeared, so I believe that you did hit reply to reply to this mailing list, and that it worked just fine.) I'm no Hercule Poirot, but...hmmm. As for the error message "server can not be contacted", it seems unrelated to Entourage (I mean, Entourage may have generated the error display, but it did so because it couldn't contact the server). Many (most) mail servers require a "POP" within a certain time before any mail can be sent, and that message is often (erroneously) returned. Properly set-up mail servers will return the real error, which is usually along the lines of "No relaying allowed. Please authenticate with POP before sending." If you are composing a message and you haven't fired off a mail check in the time frame set by the server (it varies), then that _might_ be the problem. However, I would add that it is unlikely that composing a message that you manually type the address for would solve the problem, so that leads me to think that maybe you need to rebuild your Entourage database, using the "Typical Rebuild" method (hold option-key on launch to get that option.) Otherwise, I'm afraid that the behavior makes no sense, to me at least. Gary -- Do not reply via email. Incoming replies are auto-deleted. Please post directly to the list or newsgroup. Thank you!
