Question

Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct.

I have been through your questions and answers and can't seem to find one to fit my problem.

I'm using Office 2011 and two iCloud accounts on the Lion operating system. They were set up and working fine for a long time, but now for some strange reason one of the accounts works and the other doesn't. They both have the same information in the account settings. The error message I receive for one account is:

"Outlook<br> cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct." Error code -3176.

I have tried deleting the account and using the wizard to create the account again but no joy. I added in imap.mail.me.com and imap.smtp.me.com and it worked for about a week and now nothing seems to work. I don't understand why its been working well for a while and suddenly its not working. This is very frustrating, would you please assist me? Thanks
