There is no SR for Entourage vX available yet. MS people on this list have said they are working on one and it will be released some time around the end of May to mid June, but I haven't seen any announcement of fixes in the SR. There is occasionally a problem around repeated password requests, but the fix is fairly painless: 1. go to the system keychain and delete the entry for that account. 2. go to Entourage, select 'accounts' from the Tools menu, choose the account that was giving you trouble and click on Edit. Select the 'account settings' tab 3. delete the password from the password box in the POP settings (leaving the box empty) 4. close the account window 5. re-open the account window and enter your proper password, check the 'save in keychain' check box and close the window again. The password should now stick. -- Barry Wainwright <http://www.barryw.net> "Why can't you make another word using all the letters in 'anagram'?" -- George Carlin -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
