I am currently unable to send email via my .Mac account through
entourage. I can receive email, and I can send it when I log onto my
account through my web-browser. The message I get is this when I try to
send mail through entourage:

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

I tried deleting the account in entourage and creating it again. The
password hasn't changed either. .Mac does not have an announcement that
their server is down. I tried turning off my DSL modem and even reset
that. Nothing. Thanks for any input.
