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

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. > If I click OK > > I get the following error > The server account xxxx returned an error > ³Logon failure: unknown username or bad password or the security settings > maybe incorrect. Would you like to re-enter you password² > Yes Or No 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." <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/2009/03/logon_failure_for_exchange_users.htm l> Hope this helps! -- bill Entourage Help Page <http://entourage.mvps.org/> Entourage Help Blog <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/> YouTalk <http://nine.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/youtalk> Twitter: follow <http://twitter.com/meck> YouTalk mailing list List address: [email protected] List information: http://entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected]
