Entourage tells me I've entered an incorrect password when I haven't!

I am trying to set up my yahoo account to link to entourage - I typed
in the email address and the entourage set-up assistant recognised the
account and set up the server details etc automatically. I then typed
in the required password but entourage says this is incorrect...

I then checked this by going to yahoo and logging in directly - this
worked fine.

Any ideas why this doesn't work? Are you supposed to be able to use
any email address to link to entourage?

Have you upgraded to Yahoo Mail Plus ($20-) ?
A regular Yahoo account has no POP access.

Been there, done that.

My Yahoo BizMail account works great with Entourage.

gMail has free POP access, I use that with Entourage and it work great.
If you need a gMail invite, email me.

I seem to remember in the mail options of yahoo you had to tick a box to
enable pop forwarding in the first place. Might be worth checking all the
POP Access and forwarding options from within your account online. Other
than that I can't help. :(
