entourage 2008 mail could not be received at this time error message

I have been using Entourage 2008 since upgrading to Office 2011 a year ago because I did not want to spend $100 to move to Outlook. Entourage 08 worked great until about 6 weeks ago then the error message above started popping up regularly. I have a personal yahoo account that works about 95% of the time and an ATT account I use for business that now works about 30% of the time.

I get ALL my emails with no hitches on my iPhone 4S but have serious issues on my macbook pro.

I can access my emails on safari, yahoo but that renders Entourage useless to me and that is where I have 4 years of emails filed.

I have talked with Microsoft support and we walked through it yesterday and made security changes and it worked great. Turned on the machine this morning, nothing changed since yesterday and now the ATT and Yahoo accounts are giving me the error message that username, security settings or passwords are not correct.

I am about to abandon the Entourage and spring for the $100 just to ease the headache level. This is very frustrating. And of course I cannot call with my case number today. And will be in meetings all day Mon thru Thurs.

Any ideas????

    EXACTLY the same issue here.

    Entourage 2008 started messing up about 6 weeks ago with Exact Same Error Message. Spent the money to upgrade to 2011 Outlook for Mac. SAME issue, no changes.

    Web Exchange works great, but can't access any of my old files located On My Computer.

    Mac OS: 10.6.8

    Exchange Server 2010 v14.01.0438.00

    Office Outlook for Mac 2011 v14.4.1

    Also did this:

    Deleted com.microsoft.Outlook.plist

    Repaired Permissions

    Created new User Account ID in Outlook

    Still an issue. So, are you're saying this is a Server Issue?
