Hi David!

You appear to have two different problems. My comments are inline to yours.

This simply means that you cannot validate the authenticity of your Exchange
Server's certificate. For SSL connections, which make your connections
secure by encrypting them, your server must have a certificate installed to
prove to you that you are indeed connecting to the server you're expecting
and not someone else's.

This message is usually caused by the administrator of the Exchange Server
generating his own self-signed certificate rather than purchasing a third
party certificate. You can either live with the message or ask your
administrator to provide you with a root certificate that you can install in
your own Mac OS X keychain.

You could have a bad entry in your Mac OS X Keychain. Quit Entourage and
then open the Keychain Access utility found in /Applications/Utilities.
Search for your stored password for your Exchange server and delete it. Try
again and see if you can log in.

If you continue having problems then see this blog post, which may explain
what's happening:

"Logon failure for Exchange users: Mail could not be received at this time."

Hope this helps!
