I can't believe I even have to post this, but I have a mac with outlook for mac 2011 installed. I can't get the account to authenticate with Exchange. I'm hoping I'm missing something. I've done this before, so I really have no clue why it's giving me crap now.
I go in to put the users account info and I get back an error saying. 'The server for account 'blahblah' returned the error 'Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.' Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would you like to try re-entering your password.' I know I have the right username and pw cause I can log into webmail.

Now, you can enter your login password, click 'Verify' and 'Start'. You will probably get some items with red color. Now, Click 'Repair' and 'Start'. If you find some items are still red then repeat the 'Repair' again. Now, you are advised to deleted all entries in the 'Keychain' access and create a new profile in following steps:.
Go through Open Applications Utilities Keychain Access. In the application, follow the corresponding entry and delete it (It allows the Outlook to create a new-one profile)..
