Angry Entourage'08 doesn't connect to Exchange 2k7. Mail.app does!

Hi all,
I'm using a Macbook Pro with MacOSX 10.6.1.
I'm trying to setup an account for my Exchange 2k7 mailbox. First I tried it in Mail.app (4.1.1076) - and it worked just fine. But in Entourage (12.2.1) the same settings don't work - after setting up an account nothing happens, no errors, no progress bars, nothing "Send/receive" button does nothing at all as well...
These settings are indeed correct as they work good for Mail.app, iPhone, WinMobile and Symbian...

Any suggestions guys?

Thanks in advance!

Each Exchanger server has a unique setup. MacOS X 10.6 is designed to autodiscover the settings of Exchange 2007. Entourage 2008 is supposed to be better than earlier versions, but it is probably not as good as Mail. If you are having connection issues, then there is nothing that anyone here can do to help you. Take this up with your IT staff.

A new version of Entourage was released in early August that has much better Exchange support, including much more reliable AutoDiscover support.

Thank you all for your help!
I finally was able to solve it.

All you need to do is to put Exchange server address in the following format:
yourservername.com/exchange/yourmailbox@yourservername.com
