Beachball after Sleep

[Alan Quirt]

Since I updated to the latest Entourage 11.2.1 and to Tiger 10.4.3 (at
about the same time, so I don't know which made the difference),
Entourage is almost always unresponsive for several minutes after my
PowerBook wakes up from sleep. It takes so long to wake up that at first
I kept using Force Quit; then one time I left it running for five
minutes and suddenly it came back to life.

I have seen mention of this before on this list, but cannot recall
seeing any solutions. At the moment my work-around is to try to remember
to quit out of Entourage before putting my Mac to sleep.

It may be relevant that I have an Exchange server account that can only
be reached if a VPN is active. Most of the time the VPN is turned off.
Whenever I quit Entourage with the VPN turned off I get a warning that a
network operation is in progress, though I don't have that account in my
automatic send and receive list.

One possibility is Spotlight indexing of the Entourage database. I suggest
you turn this option off.

To turn off, go to Spotlight in System Preferences and click on the Privacy
tab. Drag instead of use the + key your Office 2004 Identities folder into
the list.

Thanks, I thought I had done it already, but it wasn't in the list. I'll
soon know if it helps.

THANKS for the suggestion. Stopping Spotlight does seem to have solved
it.
