Checking news groups on a news server requiring a password fails on every new launch until you open up the account (which you can do more easily by control-clicking on the news server in the Folder List). You can the close it without making any alteration whatever, it will will start working, and continue until you quit Entourage. it must re-authorize the password by checking what's entered in the account window. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
