Authentication failed because Entourage doesn't support any of theavailable authentication methods.

[C D]

I cannot download or send mail with Entourage 2008. I keep getting the
following error:

"Authentication failed because Entourage doesn't support any of the
available authentication methods."

I have checked all my firewall settings and i see the packets going
through but I get the entourage error. Any suggestions?

Hi, did you find a solution to this problem because I am getting the
same problem. I've always used 'mail' and this works to send and
receive, but I want to use entourage because its more like Outlook and
I'm used to Office but recently moved over to MAC. I'm using exactly
the same settings as my 'mail' but it doesn't work in entourage.

My guess here is you haven't quiite got Entourage properly configured
for e-mail. You said it runs fine in Mail. Simply check your settings
in Entourage against mail and make sure everything is set exactly the
same. Incoming mail server name, authentication levels set the same
(some systems require secure authentication). If you have it set up
exactly the way you do mail there shouldn't be a problem.

In the click here for advanced sending and receiving options verify
that these are set properly. If you don't know, play around with the
settings. They can make a big difference but again however mail is
setup and it works just make sure Entourage is using the same
settings. Usually your email provider specifies exactly what it needs.
