Problem Entourage 12.2.1 and IMAP/ssl

[TF]

Hi, I'm having a problem with Entourage 12.2.1 and IMAP/ssl. I'm running
Entourage on two different machines, an iMac at work and a MacBook Pro at
home. Both were recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Same accounts,
configuration etc. It works fine from home but won't connect to IMAP from
work. It is not a firewall issue as other clients connect just fine
("telnet imap.host 993" works, too). Entourage seems stuck with a
"Connecting securely to imap.host" message at the bottom, and a while
later I'm getting error -3259, "An operation on the server timed out. The
server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic."
None of which is true. I already tried fixing the Keychain but no luck.
Any ideas?

Thanks, Tom

Test your account settings in Apple's Mail application. If you still
cannot connect there then this is probably an issue with your network or
your connection to the Internet.

Hope this helps!
