Error

An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down,
overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.


I've been unable to send mail from either of my accounts hooked up to
entourage for about two weeks. I haven't changed any settings and I
have no problem emailing direct from my two accounts using a web
browser. I have no idea what the problem is! Any advice would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try this:

From the Tools menu in Entourage, go to Accounts. Go to Edit. Click on
your account. Under Sending Mail click on Advanced sending options. Select
Override default SMTP port and change the port from 25 to 587. (You can
see if 25 works for you, too, but only 587 worked for me)

(I have: Mac OSX 10.3.8 and Entourage 11.1.0)
