I'm trying to follow this thread, but I'm still unsure of Entourage
2004's support for this "percent hack". I know that it's possible to
use it in version X because it works for one of my accounts. I don't
have version 2004 yet but I'm curious to know whether upgrading will
cause problems for me checking the peculiar account. Was support for
the "percent hack" type POP account IDs disable/removed in 2004?
