Recently, seemingly out of nowhere, Entourage returns a 17900 error message, indicating an invalid or missing password or user ID when I¹ve got my password saved in the account settings. Then, when I¹ll save it again, and make sure it¹s in my keychain, I can open the settings, and there¹s nothing there. Then, I will also get a 5.7.8 error stating that ³authentication failed...² and instructions regarding there may be a problem with the username/password or my security set-up. I¹ve changed nothing, but those show up with no warning.
Now, it seems to alternate between the missing password and the authenticaition. Sometimes it takes the password in the dialog box that shows up, sometimes it doesn¹t. Sometimes it helps to check the ³Save in MacOS keychain² box, sometimes not. Sometimes it disappears from the account settings, sometimes it¹s still there, or re-entering it there works. I¹ve just done searches for both error messages on the Help Page, to no avail. Found some of the threads on Mactopia, but nothing close enough to what I¹m experiencing. My main email provider is Compuserve (classic!), now part of AOLI¹m going for the world¹s longest-held email address, as I¹ve had this one since before the Internet (gasp, horrors!). It¹s a POP mailbox, accessed through my BellSouth/AT&T DSL service. I¹m working with a Late 2008 MacBook Pro (2.4GHz), running 10.6.2 and E¹rage 12.2.3not the Exchange edition. Thanks for the help in advance! Blessings, Fred -- Fred J.
