Entourage "Unknown error -50"

[john jurgens]

Hello,
I have a problem with the "unknown error -50". Entourage won't load my
inbox mail but it will load my junk mail. I have to go to MSN to see my
inbox mail. I have had this problem off and on for a while but now it has
been constant for the last two days.
I would also like to have Entourage load my mail when it comes in but I
have not found the right place to do that. I am using a Mac G5 running
10.5.3. I have a internet through Quest.
I could use some help. I did post this back in July but I lost track of
the email and never saw the response. Can you help me out here?
Thanks
John

MSN accounts are Web-based mail accounts. I suggest you log in via your
browser and check out your mail. Probably some corrupt spam message that is
blocking everything else.

Mail accounts from Windows Live Hotmail Plus (formerly MSN Hotmail Plus),
can be set up in Entourage by using the Account Setup Assistant.

Free Windows Live Hotmail accounts cannot be set up in Entourage. Free Gmail
accounts can be set up in Entourage.

I also suggest you update to 10.5.4.

Leopard:

Mac OS X 10.5.4 Combo Update
(For both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs )

Thanks, I¹ll do the update and go from there. I¹ll look and see if there is
an email gumming up the works.

It looks like one of the emails was the culprit. I¹m still downloading the
update.
Thanks
John
