Sorry for the late response to the email; I was fighting some system failure
which took a couple of days to sort out.

I have seen that there were a lot of follow-up messages in this thread
indicating the problems with Entourage and UW imap implementation. So, there
is no need to keep the discussion going. I just wanted to react to the
comment that it is up to individual users to make Entourage work with "your"
server. I respectfully disagree -- if the software (in this case Entourage)
gave me a bunch of options to set up to make it work properly, I would
understand. However, expecting a user who buys a shrink-wrapped software
product and expecting him/her to figure out how to configure it with a
particular server software when there is *no* configuration parameters to
play with is an unrealistic expectation.
