Limitation of 4 email accounts? Error: -17895

[venz]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: pop

I have have found a few other posts on this, each seems to be a bit different. Here is what I am seeing with Error: -17895.

I have 4 accounts set up in Entourage, when I set up number 5 and that one tries to check the server it fails with Error: - 17895. At first I thought it was something with my host and the email server. However, if I set this account up in a different email client it works fine. Also, I have changed the combination of which accounts are the first 4, any account will work if it is one of the first 4, so the limitation seems to be when I add the 5th account in Entourage.

I just got the Mac and am starting to transfer over some of my items off my PC, but these 5 email accounts (and more) have all been running in Outlook 2007 just fine.

So how do I get all my email accounts set-up in Entourage?

Here is a screenshot of the error:

Entourage doesn't have a limit. I'm using nine POP accounts myself with
no problem.

Are all of these accounts connecting to the same server? I wonder if it
doesn't like all the simultaneous connections. If you go to Tools menu
--> Accounts... and disable one or two from checking mail (uncheck
'Include this account in my "Send & Receive All" schedule' at the top of
each) does that stop the error message?
