Entourage error -3259

[crissweiss]

I used to be able to send and receive emails from my entourage. But just yesterday, somehow I can not send out email and is getting error -3259 (error message: An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.) Please help.

Are you trying to 3rd party forward? (sending emails from one isp through another isp)? This usually causes errors, especially since most ISPs no longer allow this. You can receive email through 3rd party forwarding, though, I think.
