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. -- M.
