Entourage or ATT Server Issue?

[aRKay]

I have changed nothing an for some reason I keep
getting Entourage nag notes saying

--------------
Error Description

Error:

Connection to the server failed or was dropped.

Explanation:

The server is not responding.

Account name: ³[email protected]²

Error: -17895
-------------------
I have double checked my Account setting and they still look correct
and even used the Keychain First Aid to repair.

I don¹t know if Entourage has amnesia or is the att.yahoo.com sever
is screwing up.

Anyone else having issues with att.net?

Connection to the server failed or was dropped.

I vote for an ATT server issue.

I vote for an ATT server issue.

It has been going on for two day. I would rather call Microsoft,
the insurance company or anyone but ATT. Some things are
just too hard.

I will wait and see what happens. I am with you... sounds
like mail server issue.

Error: -17895

Error -17895

Connection to the server failed or was dropped. Explanation: Could not
retrieve mail.
Account name: "xxxxxxxx" Error: -17895"

This is an Entourage internal error netLostConnectionErr, and is generated
when Entourage hits eofErr trying to read a network stream from the server
and expects more data to be coming. It could also be generated if, when
trying to create a connection, Entourage (apparently) successfully
authenticates, but then the network connection closes immediately
thereafter.

A network sniff could help determine whether or not the server is doing the
losing of the connection (and possibly why) or whether Entourage is
expecting more data than it should.

User reports: It turned out to be a mail server issue, which our ISP managed
to resolve using the information provided above.

I don¹t know if Entourage has amnesia or is the att.yahoo.com sever
is screwing up.

Have a look at these pages for some ideas:

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/accounts/yahoo_alert.html>

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/accounts/yahoo_att.html>

Very possible that AT&T/Yahoo has changed some server settings.

Hope this helps!
