I'm sorry I don't follow you.

In every account I have ever seen, your "username" is the first part of your
email address prior to the "@." In some cases, your username *is* your
email account. Whether or not you use your username or your full email
address, your mail host will interpret % as @.

Having a % sign in your username is not at all common. I've been
administrating email accounts for years, and I have never seen one with a %
in it. Everything I have seen or read discourages it, for the reasons I
listed in my previous post.

The note that I posted is from my own personal domain that I offer email and
web-based mail from. It's not something I make up, it's just there, ready
for me to use, and it tells me that the following symbols will be
interpreted by the mail host as an @ character (as your problem states):
+
;
%

This is all I have to offer you by way of explanation. If you can't change
that, and no one else offers you another solution, then perhaps you need to
use another email client than Entourage. Personally, I think you'll
encounter the same problem there as well, but you won't know unless you try
it.

Hope you find a solution.
