I have 10.2.6 on a PB G4 400. After I wake it from sleep and get email in Entourage, it consistently gives two error messages. Then, it works. Any ideas on how to correct this?

how are you connected to the net?

I have a cable modem and Airport.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I have the same problem with Mail giving an error message periodically when awaking from sleep. Usually it will fix itself at the next email poll, but I have had to close Mail and re-open once or twice.
Only problem is, I don't know a fix. But at least we know you're not alone!

Same thing here on my 1GHz DP machine, but I don't think it's really a problem. I think it's due to the fact that the instant the Mac wakes up, Entourage starts checking for messages (since it's past the time it was last supposed to check), but the connection hasn't yet fully "hooked up". It doesn't happen all the time but when it does, I usually just hit the "Stop All" button, wait a second and check again. I'm on DSL.
That's my theory, anyway ....

I'll agree with the time difference between mail programs checking it before the connection to the web is reestablished. I get it a few times as well. And, if I use the "lock out" button on my cable modem, there can be dozens of these error messages depending on the time the machine is on yet deprived from internet connectivity. The software doesn't detect there's no connection whatsoever, repeatedly tries to fetch the mail & spits out errors.
You may want to use the "work offline" feature if the errors bother you. I sometimes use it to prevent it from checking repeatedly while I'm in the process of something else and don't want to see the progress screens on top of everything.

I check my mail manually only, so I don't think that's the source of the problem in my case. Thanks for your thoughts, though.

Thanks for the tip. I just tried that, but it didn't work.
