[muglo] Re: Entourage Display Failure

Also, there's a quirk little thing in Entourage that limited the size 
of your e-mail box (that and the inability to change fonts is why I 
switched to the Mac Mail program) database... here's a citation from 
Macdoc.com on it...
  Entourage & Outlook Caution
  With the amount of spam and general mayhem on the email end of things 
I've had the full database of Entourage disappear..all the mail gone! 
TWICE!! - Fortunately a couple levels of backup left no permanent 
issues except a lot of blue air around my own machine. I HAD understood 
there was a 4 gig limit to Entourage but there still appears to be a 
problem as you approach 2 gigs which was the previous limit. My 
database was just over 1.7 gigs.
  There is a maintenance procedure available that it appears should be 
run regularly. Open Entourage with the option key down to bring up a 
dialogue to compact and repair.
  After backing up the database I also stripped all the attachments from 
anything a few months back.
  These steps dropped the database size to 850 megs and it's been stable 
since. The thing that was most critical here is without backup ALL of 
my email would have been gone. Please please make sure you backup. In 
this an ounce of prevention..........


Cheers,
Garth.

Problem seems to have been corrected by this work-around:

I imported into Mail my Entourage Inbox. When this process was 
concluded I
attempted to delete one of the offending messages from the imported 
files
and there was a msg stating that the file had not completed downloading 
from
the server.
