I set it up as POP. I've discovered that my emails go to Thunderbird and
Apple Mail, but I've always used Entourage, and want to keep doing that.
If you are using multiple applications to download your mail, then with a
POP account unless you have selected in each application to "leave on
server" then the mail will be deleted after it's downloaded. If you plan on
using multiple applications then you should switch to IMAP.
If you are only using Entourage, then you need to set your account as shown

You can delete account and create a new one.

Check your Keychain for corruption.
Check under advanced settings. Most ISPs
require advanced settings now for SMTP. Check the website for exact info on
