Cannot "Send" from my Hotmail accts

K

Karla Oakley

I am using Entourage X SR1 10.1.4
On a Powerbook G4 with Mac OSX 10.2.8

I have several email accounts set up, both POP and Hotmail. Everything has
been working fine until the day before yesterday when I did my usual
Send/Receive All and got an error msg saying that

Mail could not be sent using the account ³<hotmail acct>²
HTTP error. Access to the resource has not been authorized.
Error: 1401

I can receive new msgs on both of my Hotmail accts but it will not send mail
from either one.

I¹ve read several of the msgs in this news group and visited the Entourage
MVP site but haven¹t found anything that has helped. I have also gone to
the Hotmail Options & Support pages ‹ again no dice.

I¹m kind of a Mac newbie so does anybody have any advice about how to
troubleshoot/fix this?

btw I have both Explorer and Safari installed, IE 5.2.2 is the default
browser, and neither Hotmail account is the default/main email account

Thx in advance

Cannot "Send" from my Hotmail acctsHi Karla
The problem seems to be with Internet configuration/preferences settings, you can try doing this

1. Go to the following location > Hard Drive:/Users/Home/Library/Preferences
2. Trash the following folders: com.apple.Internetconfig.plist and
com.apple.Interentpref.plist
3. Delete the account and reconfigure account again

Please let me know if it resolves your problem

This worked ‹ THANKS!

What I did was move all the msgs from my two Hotmail accts to a local
directory, then I deleted the accounts, then shutdown Entourage, went back
to Finder & deleted the files you called for, then relaunched Entourage and
added the new accts.

Could u pls just give me a quick bullet on why it worked ‹ as I mentioned, I
am new to Mac but am a pretty sophisticated Windows user and am interested
in understanding the Mac OS
Thx again!
