I was struggeling with an authentication error in Entourage for over 2
months which i FINALY solved today.

We have Exchange 2000 on a 2000 Server. I had numerous of errors when trying
to connect to it through various versions of entourage.

I pinned down the problem to be the mail-box-alias-names in Exchange. In
order to be able to logon to the server you MUST have the same alias on the
mailbox and on the Pre-windows 2000 Logon name.

Example:

NOT Working:
username: johndoe
mail box alias jdoe

WORKING:
username: johndoe
mail box alias: johndoe

Users who have a new domain without any herritage of old NT4 domains will
most probably NOT notice this. But for tht 90¤% of us others... Well :)

btw: specify <mailservername>/public as Free/Busy server. and everything
will go smooth.
