Could not retrieve mail from the account... Error (-3168)

M

Martin Nelson

I get up in the morning turn on my computer, Entourage launches, gets my
mail. No problem.

I go to work, I periodically check my email at Yahoo.com, no problem.

I come home, turn on my computer, Entourage launches and, if someone has
sent me an email with a file size of larger than (I'm guessing here) around
15 or 20 k, Entourage's download balks when it gets to that file and I get
an error log message "Could not retrieve mail from the account" and my
account name. If I go to "Show Info" in the Error Log I get "Explanation/An
unknown error (-3168) occurred."

I have a choice at this point. I can log in to Yahoo.com which will balk a
time or two and give me an error message and then take me to my mail or I
can wait it out and a little while later try again and my mail will
download.

I don't have download problems with Entourage in the morning, I don't have
problems with Yahoo all day long. It is only under these circumstances.

Anybody?
