Unknown error (-50)

[john jurgens]

Hello,
I recently switched over to QWEST internet DSL over the phone line. I
previously had Hughes Satellite internet. I am still having problems getting
my entourage to download my email. I get the ³unknown error (-50)² a lot
more than I would like.
Is there a cure to this problem?
Can I get entourage setup to download mail as it comes in and not just when
I look in my mailbox? I have been prompted to go to preferences and change a
setting to do this but I haven¹t found the right place to do this.
Thanks
John

One user found this solution: Run "Remove Office", then run Repair
Permissions. Install from your CD and apply all updates. Restart and then
run Repair Permissions again.

Another cause for this error was found by J. Gorman: I had a semicolon in my
outgoing server name.

You need to set up a Schedule.

I get 'Unknown Error 50' when I try to download all my sent mails(which were sent from my desktop). I'm unable to access latest 30+ messages that I had sent from another computer. How do I troubleshoot this?
