Had Entourage working ok for last few months and all of a sudden it stops and gives error "The selected device does not exist, pls check settings and try again" when I hit send receive button

Apple Mail and Safari, no problem have deleted officce and reinstalled still no success any ideas appreciated :(
 
I would first try repairing disk Permissions. Do this by opening your Hard Drive->Applications->Utilities-Disk Utility. In Disk Utility highlight your Startup drive and the select "Repair Disk Permissions".

Also, check you connection settings to make sure they didn't disappear. Then see if another email program tell you that it can't connect. If it does, then you ISP email servers are down. Good luck.

Mate, thanks for your ideas, had already run Disk Utilities no differences, also as per my post both Safari and Mail work ok I just prefer Entourage as a mail program, but it stopped connecting any further ideas appreciated

:D :D
 
Have you double-checked your account settings to make sure that a password didn't get erased and that all the server info is good?

Also, have you recently switched your internet access from one provider/service to another, like from dial-up to cable/DSL or perhaps from a wired network to a wireless network?

Well part of the problem solved, ran Tech Tool Pro and it found a few things wrong and so now I can access email but it now drops out when receiving attachments but Apple mail works ok :(
