Help! Getting error # 18588 in Entourage??

[simplylisalou]

Hi,
I am trying to send an email to a group I've set up and every time I
try to send, I get a message saying an unknown error 18588 occurred. I
tried sending the same email to myself at another email address and it
worked. It doesn't seem to want to send any kind of email to my group?
Any ideas on what is wrong?

Thank you!

I assume you mean error -18588. Here's what the Entourage Help Page has to
say about it:

Error -18588
Authentication problem with using the POP and SMTP servers at MSN.

Unfortunately it's not an Entourage problem, it's Hotmail's.

That's strange because I just sent an email to the same group last
week. Is there anything I can do to try to fix it?

The Entourage Help Page doesn't offer any solution since this, it seems, is
not an Entourage problem. Hotmail/MSN can be slightly bonkers at times, so
I'm not really sure what else to suggest, sorry.

Try asking on the microsoft.public.msn.messenger newsgroup.
