I use Entourage for email, and have found when I travel that I can get
online through T-Mobile and other wireless networks, but can only
receive mail, not send it. I get the error message:
"Authentication failed because Entourage doesn't support any of the
available authentication methods."
When I went to the Mactopia site for help, I found a topic that said,
"You receive an error message when you connect to POP3 and SMTP servers
that use NTLM version 1 in Entourage 2004 for Mac," and when I went to
the link, it just said:
"This problem occurs when the Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3)
server or the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server uses NTLM
version 1 authentication. Entourage 2004 for Mac no longer supports
NTLM version 1 authentication.

Note Earlier versions of MSN, The Microsoft Network, POP3 servers or
SMTP servers may still use NTLM version 1 authentication.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft
products that are listed in the "Applies to" section."

It's nice that Microsoft has confirmed that it is a problem, but is
there a way to send email on POP3 servers that apparently use NTLM
version 1 authentication???
