Please take a moment as this could cause serious problems without warning. 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. An ounce of prevention..........well you know. Here is a useful link if you end up with damaged mail databases. http://www.thepropellerheads.com/software/entouraid/entouraid.html We also advise you leave your mail on the server for 7 days just as an additional security feature.
