"Invalid Username of Password" - Not!

Hello, I am setting up my entourage for the first time. I am linking
it to my yahoo account. Everything seems to be going fine, but when I
finally try it out, it tells me I have entered the wrong account ID or
password. Obviously I have checked and re-checked and the info I am
entering is correct. Any thoughts?

thanks in advance, Aaron

Perhaps you are using the wrong authentication method.

Send responses to the relevant news group rather than to me, as
E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM
filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting
messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google
Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts.

What other sorts of authetication are there? I just used the setup
assistant to take me through the process.

In your /Applciation/Utility folder, you'll find the Keychian
application.
In the menus, there is a Keychain first Aid command allowing you to
repair your keychain.

If that's not enough, delete the entry corresponding to your Yahoo
account to let Entoruage re-create it from scratch,

is this a 'free' yahoo address? If so, you may find that POP3 or IMAP
access is not permitted - they want you to go in via the web and view
their advertisements.
